A Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick

"Beautifully written and incredibly funny, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is about the importance of friendship and human connection. I fell in love with Eleanor, an eccentric and regimented loner whose life beautifully unfolds after a chance encounter with a stranger; I think you will fall in love, too " --Reese Witherspoon

No one's ever told Eleanor that life should be better than fine.

Meet Eleanor Oliphant: She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she's thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy.

But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen on the sidewalk, the three become the kinds of friends who rescue one another from the lives of isolation they have each been living. And it is Raymond's big heart that will ultimately help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one.

Soon to be a major motion picture produced by Reese Witherspoon, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is the smart, warm, and uplifting story of an out-of-the-ordinary heroine whose deadpan weirdness and unconscious wit make for an irresistible journey as she realizes. . .

The only way to survive is to open your heart.

Such an interesting character

Jacquelin M. - 1 year ago

Eleanor Oliphant intrigues me. She comes off as a goodie two shoes, but when a few incidents occur she begins to realize certain things aren't so bad. Doing certain things isn't as bad, as her mother had her believe. These incidents make her want to learn about her childhood and what really happened. You see how much Eleanor grows as a person, it's a wonderful story with interesting characters.

Emma D. - 3 years 4 months ago

I can not express how much I loved reading this book. Honeyman's depiction of an adult who has not learned how to process horrific childhood trauma is incredibly engaging and heart wrenching. Eleanor's unnoticed intelligence at work mixed with her blunt sense of humor will relate to anyone who has ever felt like an outsider. Her mundane home life, lack of recognition of the bleakness of her living arrangement, and her misunderstanding of social interactions leads the reader to wonder how she got to where she is, but around the middle of the book, her trauma starts unfolding and by the end has completely fallen out onto your lap with a shocking twist that is unlike any other fiction novel I have ever read. Must-read for sure.
