In the labyrinth of modern life, where the veneer of "fine" often masks deep-seated isolation, Eleanor Oliphant stands as a beacon of unvarnished truth and unwitting humor. With her life meticulously planned to avoid the unpredictable terrain of human connections, Eleanor's existence is a study in solitude—punctuated only by weekend rituals of frozen pizza, vodka, and unsettling phone calls with her mother. Yet, beneath her oddball exterior and social ineptitude lies a poignant quest for affection and acceptance. Gail Honeyman's novel, "Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine," masterfully unwraps Eleanor's journey from the confines of her self-imposed isolation to the messy, beautiful world of friendship and beyond. The catalyst for Eleanor’s transformation comes in the unlikely form of Raymond, the disheveled IT guy from her office, and Sammy, an elderly man whose life intersects with theirs in a moment of serendipitous heroism. Together, this trio forges an unexpected bond, challenging Eleanor to confront her inner demons and the shadows of her past. Honeyman weaves a narrative that is at once hilarious and heart-wrenching, crafting a story that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of connection. "Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine" is a testament to the notion that real life, with all its complexities and imperfections, begins the moment we dare to let others in.

A great book for someone who wants to get over a reading slump. Loved it! - Twinkle Khanna
If someone asks you how you are, you are meant to say FINE. You are not meant to say that you cried yourself to sleep last night because you hadn't spoken to another person for two consecutive days. FINE is what you say.
