4.5

I felt a lot more called out by this book than I would have liked to be lol

But for real, this was such healing story. Really strong character voice, lots of wholesome moments, but also dealt with extremely heavy topics. Very good read.

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.
