The unfolding of Eleanor’s background was perfect, Honeyman drops little pieces that don’t fall together literally until the very end. A lovable character voice with some neurodivergent representation and a unique (but realistic) perspective on trauma. And further, the journey of recovery. I also despise unnecessary romantic subplots, and this has the perfect balance of romantic implication without straying from the purpose of the main character. Hopefully the upcoming film does it justice.

I just finished this audiobook for the second time and it’s honestly one of my favorites. It’s a very well-performed audiobook! “Thank you for making me shiny” makes me emotional every time I think about it.

The narrator/main character is fatphobic but realizes this about herself and begins to work on it. All other triggers are essential to the plot and not particularly graphic.
