Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine / Gail Honeyman / 325 pages

Eleanor Oliphant is a 30 year old single woman working in an office.  She struggles with appropriate social skills and says exactly what she thinks.  Her routine is very structured and she does not have any friends.  Then she meets Raymond, an IT technician at her work, and her life begins to change as their friendship develops.  The author slowly reveals the events in Eleanor's life that shaped her into the person she is. There is excellent character development and  the reader vividly experiences the journey of change and acceptance that Eleanor lives through in the book.
