Book Reviews
[E]xquisite, heartbreaking, funny, and irresistible…. Surprises abound as the author boldly turns literary expectations upside down and gives to her readers Eleanor Oliphant, who, yes, is completely, beautifully fine.  —Beth Andersen, formerly with Ann Arbor Dist. Lib., MI
Library Journal


(Starred review.) Move over, Ove…. Witty, charming, and heartwarming, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is a remarkable debut about a singular woman. Readers will cheer Eleanor as she confronts her dark past and turns to a brighter future. Feel good without feeling smarmy.
Booklist


A very funny novel…. At 29, Eleanor Oliphant has built an utterly solitary life that almost works.… [But] it turns out that shell was serving a purpose.… Honeyman's endearing debut is part comic novel, part emotional thriller, and part love story.
