Exactly. Her mental health issues weren’t glamorized.

I loved it because Eleanor felt real to me. The authors depiction of mental health was very authentic.

But I understand it’s not for everyone. Eleanor isn’t likable— that’s the point.

As far as her prose- I’d say she’s very average.

I got engaged and now everything makes me cry. It’s like I was holding in emotions for so long, every book with a happy ending or even just emotional bits, makes me cry. I used to be cold and cynical now Im sappy and happy.

Absolutely this. The love bombing before the rug gets pulled out from underneath you.
