Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
4.0
If you’ve ever felt out of place or like you were just missing something that everyone else had, this book will rip you apart. Cried and laughed through the whole thing.
I would’ve called this a perfect book if not for 2 things:
First, the mummy dialogue was so over the top that it was almost theatrical lol. It took me out of the story a little bit. Second, the twist at the end killed me. I went from sobbing through the last quarter of the book to just total befuddlement that the author would make that choice. Took me completely out of the ending for the last few pages.
Aside from those two things, it was incredible. I can forgive the twist because of the beauty of everything else.
