Beautiful, insightful and funny

This was recommended to me by a friend and isn’t something I would usually read, however I am so glad that I did.

Although the back story is dark, the main concept is beautiful, about friendship and love.

It was such an easy read, I struggled to put it down as I just wanted to find out more about he main character, Eleanor.
My interpretation was that it was a fantastic insight into the viewpoint of someone with a behaviour/social issues, a strong message that we shouldn’t judge if someone is different, as we don’t know what they may be dealing with.
