~Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman~
Eleanor is socially awkward. She lives alone, spending her time working, drinking vodka on the weekends, and taking phone calls from Mummy. Raymond is the typical IT guy from the office, sloppy and unorganized. After work one day, they witness an old man, Sammy, as he collapses on the sidewalk and they work together to help him. The three become friends.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a beautiful novel. Eleanor is wonderfully quirky, and the author so clearly draws this character that my sympathies were completely in Eleanor’s corner even when her behavior raised the ire of her coworkers. I adored Raymond, who is as clueless as Eleanor in his own way.
This book is entertaining, amusing at times, tragic, and completely worthy of any reader’s time. Eleanor has left little cracks in my heart, and at the same time restored hope. A must read.
Gail Honeyman had me from paragraph one all the way until the last word.❤
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
And did I hear this was going to be made into a movie? No way will it be as good as the book, but I’ll be watching, just in case.
