It just didn't quite pique my interest enough throughout and keep up the pacing to get the 3 ⭐

I adored this book cover to cover, I knew I was going to love it even before I owned a copy. 

‘Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine’ and is an incredibly unique, wonderful and inspiring character. At thirty-years old, she lives her life by routine. She eats the same food, wears the same clothes, goes to work and lives her life by the clock. Oliphant has worked and lived in the same place for years, never having a day off or calling in sick. She doesn’t spend her time with colleagues and if she must she is home by the hour. With no friends or close relatives, Eleanor lives her life on her own. Everything changes when she and a work colleague help a fallen stranger and eleanor is then forced to over come her barriers in the most beautiful and captivating way. 

Thought-provoking, absolutely stunning, heartbreaking but deeply heart-warming. This book literally had me through everything emotion, I couldn’t stop thinking about it and deserves all the awards!

Ok that was crazy actually

Slow start, but when we got to the “bad times” section, things really picked up. Left me feeling every feeling by the end. Such a unique refreshing book. I was set on it being a 4 star read but it just kept getting better closer to the end. I think I’ll be thinking about this one for awhile.

Minor: Animal cruelty

Animal cruelty is a very minor mention in a later chapter. Basically just one sentence to provide background of an animal. The animal is quickly shown after to be a happy gal!
