Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

5.0

I was cautious at the beginning of this book because I was aware that Eleanor was different and I didn't want to delve into a brain and narrator I didn't totally know the rules for....but quickly the narrator won me over and I was routing for her to figure her shit out. She was surviving in life- but definitely not enjoying it- and relying on vodka and social rules to get through the day. Then she befriends the IT guy and she falls for a musician. She helps an elderly man who takes a tumble- and starts to slowly allow people into her life. She learns what it means to have people care for you- and she realizes she deserves to be someone.
I really enjoyed reading her story- how she learned to be her own advocate. A cat, a nerdy friend- and a mini makeover. It was a lovely story that had me glued to my spot reading rather than Netflix....or goof off.

Read if you need something to make you smile.
