Listened to this in the car. Loved it. It's the story of Eleanor who is socially awkward and working through some rather difficult personal history. Eleanor slowly blossoms as the book progresses. I really liked that the story doesn't go any further than it needs to. Eleanor develops as a person - and it's interesting getting to know her. Even with Eleanor's somber personal history - the story is actually funny - and I suspect much MUCH funnier in book form rather than audiobook (as humor is about timing... and the timing isn't always quite right). I'll probably reread this one in the future. A+
