I mean what an incredible book. I loved it so much. I laughed, I cried. It kind of made me sad how much I can relate to Eleanor.

I loved the warm friendship between Raymond and Eleanor. I really liked Sammy and his storyline.

I loved the writing style.

I have no words; it’s brilliant. I’m so glad I read it. Please can anyone recommend me something similar? Thank you all!

    It’s absolutely beautiful. In my opinion quite realistic. Good plot twist, and in general very heart warming. I wish I could recommend you something, but there’s nothing like it. I loved Autumn, by Ali Smith, though. You can give it a try.

    I think the book made a lot of damage to the author, though. After Eleanor’s success, she got a contract for her second novel yet to be published. It’s been six years, and it seems like it’ll be released in 2025… I have the impression that she feels pressured to write a book as successful as her first.

      A free copy showed up in my mailbox, no idea why. I was skeptical of it because of this. Maybe I’ll pick it up
