I liked this so much more than I thought I would. After suffering through Lessons in Chemistry's depiction of Elizabeth Zott, the way that Honeyman wrote Eleanor's character was like a breath of fresh air. Her relationship with Raymond, as well as her coworkers, was so sweet and charming. I did get annoyed a few times, but as the book continued, I also grew to love Eleanor, which I think was on purpose. Also, the PLOT TWIST HELLO?? That came out of left field at the very last moment of the book. Overall, genuinely one of my favorite Lit Fic books I have read so far.

It’s giving A Man Called Ove vibes. A story of quirky friendship built as traumatic details of someone’s past is slowly divulged just isn’t my bag baby
