Soon to be a major motion picture produced by Reese Witherspoon.
“A charmer...satisfyingly quirky.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times “Books to Breeze Through This Summer”
"This wacky, charming novel...draws you in with humor, then turns out to contain both a suspenseful subplot and a sweet romance….Hilarious and moving."—People
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.
Smart, warm, uplifting, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is the 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.

Initially, I find her unbearable. She is socially awkward, opinionated and judgy, but as she started to open up, I felt protective of her and wanted good things for her. It's resassuring to see Eleanor work through trauma and potentially heal from it. (展开)

作为悲观主义者➕纯i人,某些点上和主人公很有共鸣。故事线有悬念有温情,前半还行,后半还是套路了点儿。

Recommended by Mel. Not one of the read-the-beginning-and-know-the-end kind. 很治愈,眼看着一个人慢慢从非人的遭遇中恢复,很让人感动。

狗狗说他2023年最喜欢的书,在跨年之际看完了。我说巧了,这本书和我跟你推荐的《不原谅也没关系》有好多能联系起来的点。2023的全部主题是认识自己、了解自己、直面童年创伤。书里有一句话说我们不应该只有existence,而是有life。书本身没有很精彩,但足够响应2023的主题

从书名,以及看推荐时,以为是个幽默风格的小说,然而内容还是比较沉重的,那个书名应该是正话反说吧。欣慰的是Eleanor最终还是走出阴霾,浴火重生,希望世上无辜受伤害的人都能如此结善缘得善果。
