“I simply didn't know how to make things better. I could not solve the puzzle of me.”
What a surprise of a book! 4.5 ✨
Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine by Gail Honeyman is an emotional read that will stay with me for years to come.
In the book we follow our heroine, Eleanor, who is extremely socially awkward, takes everything literally and says exactly what she is thinking without a filter. At times, she can be very difficult to root for but the way the author handled Eleanor's growth is excellent.
During the first half I thought it wasnt going to be a particularly memorable read for me — Eleanor, while at times relatable, frustrated me a couple of times. However, the second hand of the book makes it all come together so beautifully that it made me love the story and root for Eleanor. She truly is one of a kind 💕
The thing I loved most about the book was the way mental health struggles were portrayed. They were well-written, handled with care and relatable. This is what made the ending feel so rewarding and it gives you hope for the future without being overdone.
I love and truly appreciate seeing neurodivergent characters being written with so much care.
This book will definitely stay with me for awhile.
If you like audiobooks, I can highly recommend this one, it was superb.
I was so excited to read this and knew I'd love it but the writing style is just really not for me. It's flowery and overwritten, and goes on for too long about nothing. I enjoy what I've read but I do not enjoy the experience of reading it, if that makes any sense? Which just makes me sad but I've dreaded going back to it for 2 weeks so I'm just going to let this one go.
I think my enjoyment of this book wasn't high solely because I did it as an audiobook. I think I prefer Christie books read. Also the fact that one girl helped solve the murder because she knew who the killer was, solely because she thought a ghosts told her who was so silly, it drags the rating down.
