this title popped up 2 or 3 times in the space of a few days so thought I'd check it out. given its contents, I'm unsure if it was in connection to The Maid, with its on-the-spectrum narrator, or Seek You, with it's theme of loneliness. both could apply to Eleanor, a socially awkward narrator that lives a sparse, lonely life. the plot is thin. in fact the 'neurodiversity' of Eleanor allows for really mundane actions to be drawn out over pages as she analyses each moment: a cheat really. the big reveal at the end the end that she was abused by her mother was also drawn out over many chapters that simply didn't need to be there. ultimately this felt like a cross between the very British Bridget Jones' Diary and a curmudgeonly trope like A Man Called Ove.
