SOOO GOOD

I loved how the story didn’t feel it needed to give a proper romantic ending, it made the story all the more memorable. It took back the authors power of making Eleanor’s story the focal point and going against convention

Ok that was crazy actually

Slow start, but when we got to the “bad times” section, things really picked up. Left me feeling every feeling by the end. Such a unique refreshing book. I was set on it being a 4 star read but it just kept getting better closer to the end. I think I’ll be thinking about this one for awhile.

Minor: Animal cruelty

Animal cruelty is a very minor mention in a later chapter. Basically just one sentence to provide background of an animal. The animal is quickly shown after to be a happy gal!

Mind the content warnings on this novel. It feels lighthearted throughout, with snippets of darker undertones peeking out. Eleanor has her quirks, but she grows on you fast.
