Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine By Gail Honeyman is a great choice and changed my perspective

[@suchamomm1059]

I love books but don't read much and when I do I usually never finish. Only book I've finished was Born a Crime. Now that I started reading this book, I can tell I'm gonna finish because ai can't seem to put it down. It's a great book.

I feel you! It really pulls you in! And Eleanor is such a unique character with such a unique circumstance that you really want to know how its going to end up for her. Have you ever tried reading and listening to the audiobook at the same time? Sometimes that helps me when I'm in a slump or am having a harder time getting into the story. The narrator often does a great job of finding and displaying the intrigue where I might not have been able to find it myself while reading just with my own eyes. Or even just audiobooks on their own? I've been reading a lot through audiobooks lately, they let you have the whole story without the full time commitment and mental energy.

I don’t understand the hype surrounding this book. It’s awful😢 I wasted an entire month trying to get through this, I finally decided to DNF. It was extremely uninteresting, and boring. Extremely boring This book was terrible

[@SammiShane]

Totally fair. I don't think that every book is for every person. There are A LOT of books I've read that are super popular that just do not give me anything to work with. I think this one has to do a lot with feeling connected to the character in some way. Like I've moved across the country a couple times now and I relate to the distance that she has from others because I feel like I run into the same problems but from a different background. If you can't relate to her and want to see her succeed then that's honestly great for you. Its a very real life centric story and some people like their fiction to be BIGGER than real life, I often prefer books with bigger plots/characters/worlds as well. If you're reading for fun you shouldn't have to work for it so sometimes you have to DNF a book.
