Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

Meet Eleanor Oliphant: she leads a simple, meticulously scheduled life, punctuated by routine office work, frozen pizza, vodka, and weekly chats with her Mummy. She’s socially awkward, speaks with unfiltered honesty, and sees no need for anything more—because Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine. But her carefully constructed world begins to wobble when she and Raymond, the unassuming IT guy from her office, happen upon an act of kindness together. Through this unexpected connection with the big-hearted Raymond, Eleanor’s protective walls start to crumble, revealing deep-seated scars and forcing her to confront the trauma she’s long suppressed. Gail Honeyman's debut novel is a remarkable story about the defining power of friendship, kindness, and the journey toward realizing you might need other people after all.
