I absolutely ADORED this book!! I honestly cannot praise it highly enough.
The book follows Eleanor Oliphant who is a lonely women with a regimented and solitary lifestyle, which she is, as the title suggests, completely fine with. Then a series of events occur, which may seem quite small and trivial to someone else but not to Eleanor - slowly her life starts to change, as does she.
Eleanor and the rest of the characters are wonderfully written and I enjoyed following their interactions and journey through the book. I especially loved Eleanor, her way of seeing the world, her straight talking attitude and her complete naivete at social situations. I smiled so much throughout.
This book is, at its heart, about kindness, friendship and how loneliness can affect someone. You really get a sense of how something you deem as small can affect someone and their life. It is warm, funny and touching and will stay with me a long time.
