westernstephanie 's review for:

4.0

Eleanor Oliphant, a young woman who works in an office in Glasgow, is completely NOT fine, but this book is about how she starts getting better. I agree with people who say the tone reminds them of a darker version of The Rosie Project. It also reminds me a little bit of the film Lars and the Real Girl (which I love), in the sense that Eleanor is responding to an internal push to join the world and start making connections with people. As an added bonus, the audiobook narrator was great.
