Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine by Gail Honeyman
Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine
by Gail Honeyman | Buy this book
It's okay to break down walls built by grief and trauma. It's okay to say you're not okay. Simple acts of kindness, even by complete strangers can help you do that. I love the author's depiction of the main character in this. Eleanor is tragic yet witty, you can see she has gumption but her morbid routine stops her from doing anything positive with it. This is because she feels unworthy of anything better in life, it is fate and the help of strangers that helps her change that view of herself.

Bookreader84 (Woodford Green)

Hi I’m in my 30’s a female and looking for a book group near me that is friendly and wants to discuss a wide range of books. I like thrillers, romance and horrors mainly but I am happy to read anything! My all time favourites are the silent patient, the family upstairs and first wife’s shadow. My new favourite author is Adele Parks. I would prefer a book club with only females. I’m a mother with 2 young kids and really want to get back into reading and do something just for myself for a change!

Maria (Braintree)

I have always been a lover of books, ever since I was a kid at school. My favourites used to be romantic novels especially by Denise Robins. However now that I am retired, I tend to read more thrillers and crime stories. I also like to meet other like-minded readers as I am also a sociable person and want to make new friends.

Maria recommends:
