It’s quirky in that The Rosie Project and Where’d You Go, Bernadette? kind of way, written with a sense of humor that often flies above the head of its own protagonist. And by all that I mean: wow, I loved Eleanor Oliphant. But, as I happily discovered after finishing another über beloved book last summer, sometimes the hype is very much worth it. That’s been the case for quite a few super-popular novels I’ve read lately, where I go in with my expectations high only to be disappointed. I was expecting Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman to be. ![]()
