Not like my usual books I found myself quite moved by the sad story of Eleanor as she tries to navigate life after trauma.
The contrast between “the good days” and “bad days” created a really interesting narrative. The character development was really interesting and well thought out along with the inter-character dynamics.
The only reason I couldn’t rate it higher is I did predict the plot throughout. Arguably the plot is not the main takeaway of the book (which I would normally prefer) as this focuses more on emotional journey of Eleanor which was very well executed.
