Jim's Review
🐛
Eleanor is the most endearing oddball Jim has encountered since looking in a mirror. Honeyman peels back layers of social isolation with humor and devastating tenderness. The slow reveal of Eleanor's past had this worm gasping out loud. Five worms — because some books don't just entertain you, they rearrange your insides. Jim is still recovering.
