This book was a slow burn for me. It took me a while to get into this book and I found the pacing of writing slow, however, as the story progressed and Eleanor began to develop a friendship with Raymond and the other characters I began to take a liking to her. I love the character development in this book and, I think that the book was well-paced for the story to progress even though I don't really like slow-paced books. I believe it was done intentionally and I think it was done well.
