First impressions
Why is she kinda me? 😭😭
The job
The complacency
The delulus
Okay so she’s not the spitting image but some of the things she says and does I hear and I think “Yep. Same”

But also she does sound a bit like a judgy grumpy old person in an almost 30 year old body which is interesting to read about

I am starting to empathise with Eleanor
After learning how deprived she is
What with her finding joy in small things
Party invites
Having her head massaged before a cut
Going to lunch on a workday with Raymond
Talking to someone about her life etc.

As a character, I’m not sure that I like Eleanor
And there’s hasn’t been enough shared about her past to warrant empathising with her
Right now she’s just rude, snooty, superior, unpleasant, a little creepy.
I do hope she grows on me soon

I’m listening to the audiobook audiobook
The way the narrator speaks as Eleanor’s mum actually gives me chills and makes me squirm. It’s so uncomfortable which I’m guessing is the idea.

Oohhhh okay
Now that we’re further in the book
The similarities I originally drew between her and I start to fall away
And I’m realising this is more of a tragedy than a comedy as I initially thought
Eleanor is blunt, a little curt, I think slightly rude and judgmental with a bit of a superiority complex.
But I am interested to see where this goes
