Started by reading the text and just couldn't get into it, followed up with audiobook and it was so much better. It's as if Eleanor came from a different decade and was thrown into current times. I was annoyed by her naivety at the beginning but she began to grow on me towards the end. As the book ended, the rating was almost a 4 but didn't quite get there. Saw the twist at the end coming from the start, but enjoyed the friendships Eleanor created more than any of the other themes.

I can't say too much because having Eleanor reveal herself over time throughout the book is part of the surprise and enjoyment of reading it. I will say that I was worried it would be too "cringey" or she would be humiliated but luckily that wasn't the case. It's told from her POV and she's not trying to fit in; she thinks she's ok and it's everyone around her that lacks social grace.

This book was not what I expected. I expected quirky and fun and although there is that, I didn't expect the heavy content. I enjoyed it and especially enjoyed the friendships.
