I fell in love with Eleanor, an eccentric and regimented loner whose life beautifully unfolds after a chance encounter with a stranger; I think you will fall in love, too!” —Reese Witherspoon No one’s ever told Eleanor that life should be better than fine. Meet Eleanor Oliphant: She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she’s thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy. But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen on the sidewalk, the three become the kinds of friends who rescue one another from the lives of isolation they have each been living. And it is Raymond’s big heart that will ultimately help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one. Soon to be a major motion picture produced by Reese Witherspoon, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is the smart, warm, and uplifting story of an out-of-the-ordinary heroine whose deadpan weirdness and unconscious wit make for an irresistible journey as she realizes. . . The only way to survive is to open your heart. Review: Hilarious, Entertaining, and Charming! I LOVED this book! - Gail Honeyman’s charming, quirky, and resilient Eleanor Oliphant might just be one of my favorite characters I’ve met in a long time. Eleanor’s transformation from the woman she was in the beginning to the stronger, improved version of herself in the end was incredibly sad to read but also uplifting and inspiring at the same time. “I do exist, don’t I? It often feels as if I’m not here, that I’m a figment of my own imagination. There are days when I feel so lightly connected to the earth that the threads that tether me to the planet are gossamer thin, spun sugar. A strong gust of wind could dislodge me completely, and I’d lift off and blow away, like one of those seeds in a dandelion clock.” Eleanor Oliphant is painfully socially inept and completely not attuned to social decencies, an outcome of her horrendous childhood. She spends her weekdays working in the finance department of a graphic design company and avoiding her judgmental co-workers and her weekends drinking the liter or two of vodka she purchases from her local convenience store. Her life is regimented, structured, and very, very boring. The monotony of her life interrupted when she and the new IT guy, Raymond, help an elderly man who passed out on the sidewalk after work. These chain of events and a little bit of fate take Eleanor on an emotional journey she wasn’t planning on taking but one she has needed for a very long time. “My phone doesn’t ring often–it makes me jump when it does–and it’s usually people asking if I’ve been missold Payment Protection Insurance. I whisper I know where you live to them, and hang up the phone very, very gentle. When I started this book, I wasn’t quite sure what to make of Eleanor. She is blunt and judgmental. What comes out of her mouth is often unintentionally funny because she is just so emotionally and socially stunted. I laughed out loud quite a bit even though Eleanor wasn’t making jokes. Like, the time she went to get a bikini wax and the esthetician asked her if she wanted a Tiffani, Brazilian, or a Hollywood wax. Eleanor said, “Holly would, and so would Eleanor.” There is a naïveté and innocence to her character that is completely endearing and charming, though there were moments Honeyman was asking the reader to suspend disbelief a little too far. When I finished the novel, I realized that I came to love Eleanor along the way, all the crooked and unique parts of her character. A philosophical question: if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? And if a woman who’s wholly alone occasionally talks to a pot plant, is she certifiable? I think that it is perfectly normal to talk to oneself occasionally. It’s not as though I’m expecting a reply. I’m fully aware that Polly is a houseplant. This book reminded me so much of an off-the-wall indie movie, complete with quirky characters and a great friendship storyline. I reach a point about a third of the way where I just loved where Honeyman was taking the story. The cast of characters in this novel was what made it that much more enjoyable. We meet Raymond, the new guy at work, who Eleanor describes as an unattractive overweight man who smokes and walks on the balls of his feet. What he lacks in conventional beauty, he makes up for in heart. He’s such a good guy who loves his mom and over time, comes to really care about Eleanor. Sammy, the older gentleman Eleanor and Raymond help, is vivacious, sprite, and so great! “These days, loneliness is the new cancer—a shameful, embarrassing thing, brought upon yourself in some obscure way. A fearful, incurable thing, so horrifying that you dare mention it; other people don’t want to hear the word spoken aloud for fear that they might too be afflicted or that it might tempt fate into visiting a similar horror upon them.” But the highlight of the novel was seeing Eleanor blossom and start to deal with her own pain. Despite the title, Eleanor Oliphant wasn’t completely fine but she will be. Uplifting and hopeful, this novel is one I will come back to, just so I can spend time with Eleanor just a little bit longer. Audiobook Comments: After reading this book, I picked it right back up again on audiobook. The audiobook is really great and I really loved the narrator’s Eleanor. Her dry, deadpan delivery was absolutely perfect! Highly recommended! * Thanks to the Penguin First Reads program and Penguin Random House Audio for providing me a review copy for review! Review: Emotional, real, and gripping read - 4.5 stars! “There are scars on my heart, just as thick, as disfiguring as those on my face. I know they’re there. I hope some undamaged tissue remains, a patch through which love can come in and flow out. I hope.” Are you ok? How are you doing? What’s going on? What’s up? How are you? These are all questions you probably get asked in some capacity at least once a day. We… Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine. Just like me. Just like you. We are all fine. At least that’s what we are supposed to say, to hide the grief and trauma and other negative but basic human emotions that make others uncomfortable. Two lighters both work just fine. Soak one lighter in childhood trauma and grief, the spark goes out. All is lost. But all it takes is for the second lighter to offer some help, and slowly, the spark will reignite. Eleanor must learn how to open her mind, open her eyes, open her heart to see and feel the wonderful things this world has to offer as all she had ever known was its cruelties. This novel was very compelling. Eleanor is extremely quirky and over time you learn how she gained this persona. Touching on loneliness, grief, trauma and social norms, and mental health stigmas all in one, well put together, thought provoking novel, Gail Honeyman has an immersive way of telling a story. I felt like I was right there with Eleanor through all of her experiences as she hits rock bottom and discovers she cannot ignore her grief and trauma and she cannot move forward without some help. A tale of realism. I loved almost everything about this book. This book is slow-paced and I wasn’t sure what the point was until about half way through. For that reason- I feel as thought this may not be everyone’s cup of tea. I would recommend reading when you are in a good mental health space as there are some triggers. All in all, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys literary fiction and who can connect quirky and broken characters. Cause aren’t we all just a little bit quirky and broken? ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #5,271 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #14 in Single Women Fiction #50 in Contemporary Literary Fiction #73 in Women's Literary Fiction | ## Images ![Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine: Reese's Book Club: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91QJAzUvlJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hilarious, Entertaining, and Charming!

It's only been a day since I finished the fantastic, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, and I feel as if I am missing something . . . or someone. I spent a mere five days or so, engrossed in this novel, but by the end of it, I felt as if I knew Eleanor so well. So intimately. And now that she's gone . . . now that the story is over . . . I feel a sense of loss. Because I love Eleanor. I love everything about her -- flaws, quirks, and all. Sure . . . she's a socially awkward, socially isolated, judgmental, 30-year-old curmudgeon. She says exactly what she thinks, whenever she wants to say it, to whomever she wants to say it, and is absolutely clueless when it comes to social graces. She's lonely, may or may not be on the autism spectrum and is, unfortunately, afflicted with various mental health issues. But amidst all that, Eleanor has a good heart. She just hasn't learned (yet) how to open it. The novel begins with an immediate introduction to Eleanor. She thinks her life is fine. She thinks SHE is fine. But is she really? Eleanor Oliphant is a beautifully written character study of a very troubled woman. The story is not plot-driven; neither is it exciting, nor pulse-pounding. But it is one that is exquisitely written, with phenomenal characterization. Gail Honeyman has created a truly unforgettable character in that of Eleanor . . . and also of Raymond, the kind, sweet man who helps Eleanor find her way. Eleanor's story is one that is quite dark. She is a victim of multiple forms of abuse. Her life consists of working five days a week and then spending her weekends alone, with bottles of vodka as her closest friends. At work, she deals with snide comments daily from her co-workers and then receives further verbal snipes during her weekly phone calls with Mummy. But even though the backdrop of the narrative is so tragic, Honeyman ensures that the reader is not dragged down into a pit of blackness. She infuses the story with warmth and the perfect amount of humor, by way of Eleanor's inner monologue and conversations with people. Eleanor is just so, SO funny. Albeit, the humorous moments are often at the expense of others, but what makes it okay . . . or, at least, okay enough . . . is that Eleanor doesn't have any idea that her thoughts and words are rude. She doesn't understand that she shouldn't say EVERYTHING that crosses her mind. And that lack of awareness just makes Eleanor all the more endearing. Eleanor Oliphant is a novel about finding yourself . . . about facing your fears, however big or small. Eleanor takes chances; she tries new things. She steps out of her comfort zone and ventures to new places, with new people. She forces herself to learn to feel ALL emotions, rather than stifle the majority of them, as she has done her entire life. And most importantly, she learns to love others . . . (and a cat!). . . and allows herself to be loved in return. All this because she realizes she wants more from her life. I think Eleanor may be one of the bravest characters I have ever encountered. And I believe we all can learn a lesson or two from her. I learned many. Oh, Eleanor . . . I am so happy to have met you. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/99533335-eleanor-oliphant-is-completely-fine-reeses-book-club-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/99533335-eleanor-oliphant-is-completely-fine-reeses-book-club-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
