I’m very excited to read this by but I’m frankly OBSESSED with the cover.
Cover of Eleanor by Alice Loxton. A cream background with charming sketches of medieval architecture and little vignettes in turquoise and pinks. The vibe is reminiscent of mid 20th century history books.

Am…am I neurodivergent? Because this is exactly how I think and I thought everyone did. 👀 (I did take an online assessment that indicated I was about halfway between neurotypical and the spectrum.)

Helen Gurley Brown’s diet, posted on IG. So, it’s basically just eggs and alcoholism.
Diet encouraging a full bottle of wine each day starting at breakfast, three eggs, coffee, and a small steak. It’s completely deranged.
