I really enjoyed this book and think it will stick with me for a long time. I picked it up not really knowing what to expect. It was much darker than I anticipated but ultimately very hopeful. Eleanor is flawed but that’s what makes her so lovable. Very few people have a past as challenging as Eleanor’s but I did still find her and her story relatable which I think speaks to how well written it was. I’m very happy I picked this book up and would recommend it to anyone so long as they’re ok with the dark topics involved in the story.
