4.5 Stars. Wow, fuuuuuuuuuuuuck, this was an emotional roller coaster ride that I would happily board anytime again. 
 "I simply didn't know how to make things better. I could not solve the puzzle of me." 
 Puzzle indeed. Eleanor Oliphant is a complete and utter nut-job. Or so most people think. It took me a while to understand Eleanor. And once I did, I realised that Eleanor Oliphant was just a precious woman, often missunderstood and dumped on this cruel world. 
 I recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It was wonderfull. 
 "If someone asks you how you are, you are meant to say FINE. You are not meant to say that you cried yourself to sleep last night because you hadn't spoken to another person for two consecutive days. FINE is what you say." 
 (there are so many quotes I'd like to put in this review and it's so frustrating because I can't. I want you to experiance the pleasure of reading this wonderful book yourself)
