Make Yourself at Home by Ciara Geraghty
4.0
This was an enjoyable read, Marianne really did remind me of Eleanor Oliphant! She wasn’t much of a people person, her husband left her, she got fired from her job for shop lifting and everything just falls apart.
The thing that was a big high for me on this story was the characters. They were all so lovely and formed such a wonderful community of support. From learning about Marianne’s mother running a self help group called ‘The Get Well Sooners’ - knowing more about the characters and their life and also that self help group definitely impacted on Marianne despite that she wasn’t a part of that group. Seeing her open up from her shell, letting go of the barriers, just becoming herself and accepting herself for who she is was wonderful.
