What I loved most about this book is how the author skillfully balances moments of humor and light-heartedness with the darker themes of loneliness, mental health, and trauma. Despite the heavy subject matter, Honeyman's writing style is engaging and witty, making it a surprisingly uplifting read.
The character development in this book is truly exceptional. Eleanor is a complex and nuanced character, and as the reader, I found myself deeply invested in her journey towards self-discovery and healing. The relationships she forms with those around her, particularly with Raymond, are heartwarming and genuine, adding depth and warmth to the story.
Overall, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant novel that stayed with me long after I finished reading it. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a captivating and moving story about the power of human connection and the resilience of the human spirit.

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine follows our title character, Eleanor Oliphant, through her daily life and through her unpacking her childhood trauma. The slow reveals of her past were executed flawlessly, and the twist at the end of the book (which I'm unsure if it was designed to be a twist but it was for me) had my jaw on the floor.
