This book is so good! Rich, inspiring, and the journey of Eleanor Oliphant to realize she is completely fine is nothing short of wonderful as you read, listen and learn! Definitely pure enjoyment and a top favorite of books I have read in 2017!!
Went into this completely blind, and I’m so glad I did!
A truly beautiful story focused on Eleanor's journey to bury demons of the past and begin to live.

Eleanor started out to be quite an unlikeable character but as you read along, you find bits and pieces of why she is the way she is, and that its remarkable that she can function even the way she does considering what she had gone through already in her life. I loved how her friendsh

This was a really good read. But a review I read was right, the ending was the best part: why you stuck it out.
Wow I have never related to a main character so much as I did to Eleanor. This is a favorite for sure
I’m glad I made myself finish it, but it was very slow moving and quirky.
