Eleanor Oliphant has learned how to survive – but not how to live. She wears the same clothes to work every day, eats the same meal deal for lunch every day and buys the same two bottles of vodka to drink every weekend. Eleanor Oliphant is happy. Nothing is missing from her carefully timetabled life. Except, sometimes, everything. One simple act of kindness is about to shatter the walls Eleanor has built around herself. Now she must learn how to navigate the world that everyone else seems to take for granted – while searching for the courage to face the dark corners she’s avoided all her life.

Hesitated a little before writing this review. I loved the book and Eleanor is funny and I liked Raymond who initially reminded me of Hagrid. But as you go this book becomes so difficult emotionally. I am not completely fine after reading it. Had trouble sleeping for a night after finishing it.
