Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

5.0

Finished Eleanor oliphant. I really loved this book from start to finish. Yes the plot was easy to work out. But that wasn’t important. Eleanor felt alone in the world, she eats the same food, wears the same clothes has no friends, no family goes to work every day regardless. She never used up any sick days or her holiday entitlement. Spends the weekend in a cheep vodka induced haze. But little does she know this is all about to change. I wonder if Eleanor is on the autistic spectrum regardless of what happened to her as a child. Which was horrific. But small kindness a smile on the bus, asking if someone is ok when they look sad. As we go through the book Gail honeyman peels the layers of Eleanor back like an onion. Sometimes you have to go back to the start to begin again. Can’t recommend this book enough. Go read it
