★★★★★/out of 5 stars

After I saw a book review about this story from one of my favorite book tuber I decided to check this book out from my library. The translation was so good.

I love this story! There are really dark moments but I was able to keep reading because of the humour and the kindness that some of the characters show towards Eleanor.

There were many moments that moved me. Especially when Raymond(Eleanor's coworker)comes into her life and from there it was so nice to see those two together.

Eleanor has no desire to be sociable. She prefers to spend time alone and I could relate to that. Her coworkers see her as a weird person by theway she responds to people and the things she says to people. She doesn't care about how others may see her. As I learned more about Eleanor and her past I started to get into the story. There is one part that is left as a mystery and left me puzzled but aside from that, what a wonderful story.
