Eleanor Oliphant is NOT completely fine. When I was done reading this book, I had to take in a deep breath It is a book about trauma, depression, struggles and friendship. There were no "big events" everything was slowly revealed, it showed Eleanor's everyday life and took us on a journey with her. I loved that Eleanor found her way out because someone truly saw her even though she honestly wasn't the best person. She had several shortcomings but she grew Every single page she grew, she learnt and she changed I highly recommend

Its an okay book, engaging enough I just didnt like it so much because for some reason i just couldnt relate to any of the characters

Like a review i just read says; the main character was far too passive and it was absolutely frustrating The book spent way too much time telling us about the surroundings and less time helping us understand the characters. It became so complicated at a point then far too quickly unraveled the complexity that it just left me wanting more. I cant say its one of my favorites but its a good enough read to pass time i guess
