The unfolding of Eleanor’s background was perfect, Honeyman drops little pieces that don’t fall together literally until the very end. A lovable character voice with some neurodivergent representation and a unique (but realistic) perspective on trauma. And further, the journey of recovery. I also despise unnecessary romantic subplots, and this has the perfect balance of romantic implication without straying from the purpose of the main character. Hopefully the upcoming film does it justice.
