Read it when I was in my early teens and I adored it. The way it handles trauma and child abuse was mind-blowin  to baby me. The relationship between Eleanor and Raymond is so cute. So is the cat.

This book, oh this, book. I don't know why I couldn't finish it back when I picked it up for the first time. 
Mundane (in a good way) at places, a socially awkward sweetheart, finding her way through her tragic life. 
Funny, really. 
Also, Eleanor is such a delight with words and her intrusive thoughts are a wonder. I definitely would love to be friends with her and her cat, and would help her decorate her place but I'm afraid I'll pass the vibe check. She's kind, compassionate and really more normal than she and people think her to be.

And Raymond, love, you're a gold star human.

I'm glad I read this.
