This book was a slice of life that was just ok. It has some great moments that are delicate and emotional that made me feel something, but I was hard to follow Eleanor’s day to day living because she was so weird. There were plot points that kept me reading because I wanted to see the outcomes but the outcomes were to realistic that they were just boring. I needed a little more drama in this slice of life to recommend or reread it.
