Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

More about the book

"Move over, Ove—there's a new curmudgeon to love." Eleanor Oliphant is a unique literary creation: funny, touching, and unpredictable. Her journey from darkness is absolutely gripping. No one has ever told Eleanor that life should be better than fine. She struggles with social skills and often speaks her mind, leading to a carefully structured life that involves avoiding interactions and spending weekends with frozen pizza, vodka, and phone calls to her mother. Everything changes when she meets Raymond, the bumbling IT guy from her office. Together, they help Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen on the sidewalk, forming a bond that rescues them from their isolated lives. Raymond's kindness ultimately guides Eleanor toward healing her own profoundly damaged heart. Smart, warm, and uplifting, the story follows an extraordinary heroine whose deadpan weirdness and unconscious wit create an irresistible journey of self-discovery. Eleanor learns that the only way to survive is to open her heart.
