Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine
by Gail Honeyman
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Well written and I can see why people might love it. I enjoyed it but wasn't blown away. I did appreciate the hints and insights into Eleanor's backstory, but felt the full reveal was anticlimactic as most had already been given away so didn't really surprise me at all. I enjoyed the quirky, literal thought process of Eleanor throughout, though her unpleasantness and un-likability goes on a bit too long in the story, making it a bit hard to be invested in her outcome
