Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman is quirky. It's the story of an out-of-the-ordinary heroine whose deadpan weirdness and wit will make for an irresistible journey as she realizes the only way to survive is to open your heart. (cover blurb)
This book is funny, sad, interesting, and amusing all at once. You really root for and care about Eleanor and it's also easy to worry and fret that she'll be let down again. Hang in there and enjoy the book and her journey. You know what? You'll be fine.
GREAT review. That sounds like a book I'd like, too. (We quirky people have to stick together.)
ReplyDeleteHave a super 4th! Stay cool.
indeed - I think you'd really like this book. This was a pick from my PA gals. Good choice. You could join our little book club if you want!
DeleteThanks for the book recommendation. I've heard of this. Now I will have to put it on my TBR list.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Joanne, and Happy 4th!
I'm all over the map in reading. Been on a non-fiction kick too. I have lots of reviews to write. Too busy floating in the pool. Take care!
DeleteOdd character and odd story. And cover. Guess people don't judge a book by its cover.
ReplyDeleteNot in this case. It's had good buzz. Tricky read for something different. (not sci-fy)
DeleteSounds like it runs the gambit and has it all.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure at first, but she grew on me and turned out a winner. That's fun!
DeleteGreat review! Sounds like one that would pull me in. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI know you trust me!!
DeleteI feel like I know Eleanor. This is a book I would enjoy.
ReplyDeleteshe's quite different, but you feel for her and learn why she is who she is.
