The main character was socially awkward from the start and somewhat unlikable. She had an abusive childhood and has a toxic relationship with her mother. As the story goes on, it seems like Eleanor may have autism, though it never outright says that. In the end, the story was worth the read.

Went into it thinking it would turn out a lot different, in a darker way, but actually ended very wholesome. Characters were interesting and nice, also a little mystery.
