Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is by Gail Honeyman. A charmingly funny, yet poignant realistic fiction novel. Eleanor handles the accounts for a graphic design company. She is eccentric and struggles with people skills. Then she meets Raymond from IT and the two of them rescue an elderly man who has fallen on the sidewalk and become involved with his family and each other. As Raymond gets to know Eleanor he realizes she has been profoundly damaged by her past and his friendship may be the only way to save her. A wonderful story; you'll cry and laugh at the same time.
Ratings: 11th grade - 9 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content).
