Jim's Review
🐛
Eleanor is the most endearing oddball this side of a mirror. Honeyman peels back layers of social isolation with humor and devastating tenderness. The slow reveal of Eleanor's past is gasp-out-loud stuff. Five worms — because some books don't just entertain you, they rearrange your insides.
