Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

4.5 stars! Oh Eleanor, I desperately wanted to reach into this story and hug you (even though a hug would be extremely awkward for you) and welcome your quirky self into my life!
Eleanor’s journey took me on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Eleanor is obliviously socially awkward. She had me laughing out loud on one page and then holding back tears while breaking my heart on the next. Eleanor Oliphant is one of the most remarkable characters I have ever ‘met�! Eleanor’s inner thoughts (and often her outspoken words) had me giggling throughout every chapter. Her relationship with her mother and memories of her childhood had me cringing and shaking my head in disbelief.
While reading this book, I couldn’t help comparing it to the quirkiness of The Rosie Project which I absolutely loved. I just couldn’t help but smile and melt at Eleanor’s rationalizations for each of her thoughts and actions. She is quite a woman!
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and would highly recommend it!

Good news, ladies! Reese Witherspoon has purchased the rights to make the book into a movie!
Excellent review Lindsay! I am #138th on the waiting list at the library with 33 copies so it will take awhile before I get to it. Glad that you loved it.
: Great review!! Totally loved Eleanor and this book.
seems this is a very popular, rewarding read. i'm moving it up in my mental queue.

You must live in a HUGE city to have that many people on hold for that many copies! I have to say that I'm usually super lucky with my library and often am the first one to take a new book home (have I mentioned how much I LOVE my library!?!?!?). I bet people will just fly through this book because it is so good so hopefully you'll get your copy sooner than you think! ;-)
