I'm trying to read contemporary books this year, and I started with this one. Oh. My. God. I adored it from start to finish. I will say that it is my assumption that Eleanor is autistic, and whether or not it is what the author intended, it is very well done. I loved the themes in the story, and it progressed at the perfect pace. I will be reading it again once I've explored some more genres. A wonderful story that has just the right amount of darkness to the story.
