Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine…or at least that’s what she tells herself. Eleanor struggles with social interactions, has her life perfectly scheduled, avoids all unnecessary contact with people, has weekly weekend sessions with pizza and vodka and weekly phone calls with Mummy. She believes her life is fine as it is…

That is, until she becomes enamored with a singer and believes she is destined to be with him. Her infatuation with the singer results in her life starting to deviate from the perfect schedule she has constructed. Eleanor meets the bumbling Raymond from IT at the company where she works. Eleanor and Raymond save an elderly man who has fallen on the street and they form a connection. The connection with Raymond, Sammy and others as a result of the rescue will lead Eleanor to see that maybe she wasn’t completely fine as she thought. Maybe she wants a bit more in life than her carefully regimented schedule with no contact.

Eleanor Oliphant has a traumatic past that even she does not completely understand. She has closed her heart and used vodka to help her survive. Will connecting to others and opening herself allow her to truly be “completely fine”?

I loved Eleanor. I loved reading her thoughts, seeing her interactions with people and watching her grow throughout the story. There were so many laugh out loud moments. There were some heartbreaking moments. There were shocking moments. This book had everything and I am so glad I read it!
