3.8 stars

I’m having a hard time rating this one. The story was overall good.

- Eleanor was a hard to love character, as intended. I did relate to her on a small level.

- I was bored with a good chunk of the book and skimmed through those parts. Just not enough dialogue for me, but that’s more personal preference.

- The ending was great.

Not quite a 4 star book on my personal grading scale, but it was a good story, so I give it 3.8 and rounded up for Goodreads.

This book sends you on such an emotional roller coaster as you get to know Eleanor. She is socially awkward, abrasive at times, absolutely hilarious, and just unforgivingly her. I appreciated the love story and the growth that happens throughout this book. Highly recommend.
