An excellent read about a woman with social anxieties who has excluded herself from developing friendships and relationships with others. The beginning of the book took a little to get interesting and to pick up the pace. I absolutely adored the friendship Eleanor developed with Raymond and I’m so glad they didn’t cross the line to lovers. 
The ending surprised me and I really enjoyed Eleanor’s character development. She is so strong and a survivor which I can relate to in many levels.
