The whole premise of this book was very unique and engaging. I found myself staying up late to read “one more chapter.”
I do think the comparison to Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine makes a lot of sense, as the book is ultimately life-affirming and does focus a lot on the POV characters insecurities.
Another comparison I would draw is to Sophie Kinsella. The humorous scenes in this book were ridiculous in the way that Sophie’s are (which I personally love) andthere’s also a miscommunication theme. If you like her books, I think you’d enjoy this one as well.
