"I find birthdays difficult. It is the lack of acknowledgment from the world at large that affects me most. Not that I have an inflated sense of self-importance—far from it. It's more a case of feeling that I might disappear and no one would notice."

Override: 4/5
A super sweet novel about a woman uncovering her past. Eleanor takes some getting used to, but that’s besides the point - by the end of the book, I absolutely adored her. The first half of the book was slow-ish, but the second half of the book had me in a chokehold and I finished it in a day.
It’s hard to describe the book as “cozy”, because it deals with very serious topics, but I found it emotional and inspiring, and I imagine this one will be simmering in the back of my mind for a while.
