Book Club: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine by Gail Honeyman

#1 New York Times Best Seller. Beautifully written and incredibly funny, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is about the importance of friendship and human connection. Eleanor struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she is 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 help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one.
This is a 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.
