You can't help but love Eleanor (in all her unfiltered glory) and Raymond, who has such an amazing heart.
A part of this book I found particularly interesting was its commentary on parasocial relationships being born out of our own loneliness and lack of fulfillment in our lives socially. I can definitely relate to falling for a celebrity who doesn't know I exist!

I was glad to see where her social relationships ended up. I was afraid they would go one way and felt that would've cheapened it.
I did struggle a little with the absurdity of a culture that allows a person to take extended medical leave without losing their job or going broke. The US is not ok.

Overall it was fine. It had moments that made me smile but I didn't feel connected enough to her trauma. It wasn't too well established, which I get because that was the whole mistery of the plot. The ending plot twists felt a bit out of place tho. I did't get them.
Bonus points because Eleanor is so autistic coded. She is not which is a shame, but I'll pretend she was. Would explain a lot.
Extra bonus points for showing that a man and a woman can have a friendship without being in love with each other. Also that you can have friends even after your 20s. That was an important message.
