Oh god I loved this.

This book is like getting to know a person. And I truly couldn't stand Eleanor at the beginning, but then you kinda uncover why she is the way she is and start to empathise with her. It's about the safety of routines, rationalising, importance of friendship (bless Raymond honestly), how little things can change your life, acceptance, therapy and change.

This is a book for anybody who has experience with family trauma or trauma in general or is patient enough to get to know a person stuck with their own demons, unknowingly. She is after all, completely fine.
