Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine: Reese's Book Club (A Novel)

What a beautiful contribution to humanity! Each novel I read inevitably influences me in some capacity. But this is different. Now at the office or grocery when I extend my good mornings to each passerby I am left wondering what sort of impact my simple greeting will have on them. What they may be dealing with in their lives. It offers a unique view into how acts of kindness can cure seemingly unrecoverable circumstances. Thank you for writing and overcoming obstacles to get this to the world.

It was a really good read and I enjoyed it a lot. I laughed, I cried and I got angry too. So many emotions. In fact this is one of the few books that I felt sorry that it ended. There were too many details, but they helped making the reader, hate Eleanor, love her, feel sorry for her and most importantly root for her.

This novel is a brilliantly written character study. Eleanor is well developed and you really get to know her. Everyone looking to write fiction should read this book. Each word gives you a sense of who she is and why she is that way. This novel also gives a raw perspective on loss and learning how to deal with pain. Plus there is an air of mystery that keeps you reading.
