Synopsis: 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.
Oh, I loved this one! Eleanor is rude and weird and probably someone I would cross the street to avoid, if I'm being honest. But holy moley she's hiding some big secrets and they all start surfacing when she meets Raymond, a guy from work, and together they help an old man who has collapsed in the street. Even though Eleanor is about as reluctant as one can be to help the old guy, he ultimately plays a big role in the story and in her life. There are so many enjoyable moments in this book along with some sad ones as well. Two big thumbs up for Eleanor Oliphant!
