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

Funny and sad at the same time.

What an amazing book. Just loved this from start to finish.

I dove into this book not knowing what it was about. It was a bit boring at the start, but it gradually got better and more intriguing.

Eleanor Oliphant is about a woman who has certain peculiarities. She struggles in life, has a complicated relationship w her mom, and is settled in a bit of a weekly routine just coasting rather than enjoying her life. She makes a friend, Raymond, and he's there for her and shows what it means to be a friend.

By the end of the book, she seeks out professional help, realizes that she is loved and cared for by many people, and finally feels as though she has a purpose.

I enjoyed this change of pace in my reading as I read fairly heavy novels. This one was wholesome and light-hearted. True rating: 4.5

I loved this book. For the socially awkward, this book is for you!

Meet Eleanor Oliphant: She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she’s thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy.
