Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine: Reese's Book Club: A Novel

I devoured this book! Its a “must read”.

I absolutely fell in love with the character Eleanor. She is hilariously honest....witty and genuinely a good person. I laughed out loud at her precise assessment of many social situations and personality types.

I was also pleased to see the way this story ended for Eleanor.

I plan to read other books by this author in the future!

Totally not what I was expecting. A quick but heavy read. Left a lot to the imagination which was good.

The story centers on Eleanor Oliphant, a social misfit with a traumatic past who becomes enamored with a singer, whom she believes she is destined to be. The novel deals with themes of isolation and loneliness and depicts Eleanor's transformational journey towards a fuller understanding of self and life.
As you might expect, the book is mainly about Eleanor's journey to reintegrate herself into society. Despite its somewhat dark premise of a woman with a mental illness who has suffered abuse, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is actually a lighthearted and rather heartwarming story.

2.5/5

While a lot of readers speak highly about this book, I really don't understand the hype for this rather clichéd, superficial, unrealistic book.
