Didn't love it at the end of the first chapter, but was smitten when the book was over. Really sweet story about a quirky abuse survivor who grows due to a relationship with coworker in IT. Loved how she learned about social interactions throughout the story. I loved her observations and complete honesty, though she learns to curb it.

Very powerful and moving story. I loved the characters and how they interacted. The Scottish accent on the narrator was the icing on the cake!

Eleanor was quirky & funny but there wasn’t much of a plot to this one. And I couldn’t stand her mother. This book was just ok for me.
