Eleanor Oliphant is one of the most unique characters in fiction and I am totally in love with everything about her and her growth. The twist ending of this book took me completely by surprise and I never would have expected it. This book has so much smart humor, mostly in Eleanor’s comments/narrations. The darker moments are hard to get through but overall you feel so much for the characters in this book. The development is off the charts. This one of my favorite books of all time. Also seeing someone whose brain works like mine narrating a book was so gratifying.
