4.5

At first I wasn’t really that into the book/ Eleanor at first, but I think that was because I was a little confused about her at first. Though as I started to learn more about Eleanor and how she interacts with the world and how she slowly develops was so fascinating that I couldn’t help but pick up the book soon after I set it down. I found myself carried away by it and later shocked. I am glad I gave the book a chance because it was something new I haven’t read in a while.
