Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Eleanor is a bit different thirty year old. She has a job that she is good at, has her own flat and a routine that she hardly ever varies. The problem is that she doesn't have any family or friends and nothing to occupy her free time, and therefore vodka is her friend.
Raymond is a new hire IT tech in her company and one day Eleanor needed his help with her computer. We didn't see at the time that this would be a turning point in Eleanor's life. Raymond seemed to see beyond, or possibly just didn't notice the peculiarity of her.
It starts as a slow moving friendship but we start to get a glimpse of her past life and the horrific things that she endured.
I loved the characters in this book. An excellent read.
