#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. A Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick.

“Beautifully written and incredibly funny, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is about the importance of friendship and human connection. I fell in love with Eleanor, an eccentric and regimented loner whose life beautifully unfolds after a chance encounter with a stranger; I think you will fall in love, too!” —Reese Witherspoon

No one’s ever told Eleanor that life should be better than fine.

Meet Eleanor Oliphant: She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she’s 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 ultimately help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one.

Soon to be a major motion picture produced by Reese Witherspoon, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is the 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.

To get to know my taste, these are 10 of my favorite books of all time. You may notice that most of these have been published within the last few years and honestly? My taste has evolved so much since joining the bookish social media world. I feel like I've truly found my people and it's been such an amazing journey to finally get here. In no order, I'd short circuit trying to rank these.\ \ \ \ 01. Long Way Down - Jason Reynolds: There is no other book where I got to the end and turned back to page 1 to experience the book again. 15 year old Will is out for revenge after his brother, Shawn has been murdered. This story takes place on an elevator and at each floor he gets visits from different people in his life trying to convince him not to do it. This story takes you through a range of emotions, and I think this is one of the most important and impactful stories I've ever read.\ \ 02. Nightbitch - Rachel Yoder: What I think is the most important book that I read at the perfect time in my life. It was a few months after the fog of postpartum depression lifted. I read this and something clicked for me and it's one of those that changes your brain chemistry. A stay at home mom who's lost all identity to motherhood and thinks she might be turning into a dog. There's a certain scene that actually changed my parenting style and I implement it to this day. (Without spoiling, it's the park scene when she and her son start running like dogs IYKYK. It's my favorite scene, I was bummed that it was so short lived in the movie.)\ \ 03. Tender Is The Flesh - Agustina Bazterrica: I get 1 of 2 comments whenever I mention how much I love this book and it's either "How could you possibly enjoy something so disturbing?" or "That book isn't disturbing at all" - This book for me, shows the real depravity of humans and it has nothing to do with the "forbidden meat" of it all. The symbolism of this topic in fiction has been talked to death so I won't but I think it's just how far we will take said depravity that makes this so disturbing for me. The ending of course leave a lasting impact too.\ \ 04. Confessions - Kanae Minato: Every single thing this author does means something, which makes her such a powerful author. The chapters are long but this is one to take your time with, anyway. Middle school teacher takes revenge on 2 of her students who she believes took the life of her 4 year old. The fact that this isn't a fast paced thriller just adds to the building dread of it all leaving the climax having you trying to find something to hold onto.\ \ 05. Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn: I am an Amy Dunne apologist. I read this 14 years ago and there hasn't been a day since, that I'm not thinking about the cool girl monologue.\ \ 06. Mary: An Awakening of Terror - Nat Cassidy: If a perfect horror novel exists, it's this one. Mary is an unremarkable woman going through scary changes in her body, moves back to her small creepy town and then begins seeing horrifying ghosts. Nat Cassidy is an author where you can just tell he puts everything into his novels. You see it in his forewords/afterwords and partly those are my favorite parts of his books. I think this is the book that solidified horror being my favorite genre. \ \ 07. The Only Good Indians - Stephen Graham Jones: The king of the most vivid, suffocating, atmospheric writing. It's not often that an author can write jump scares that work, but here we are. 4 Indigenous men go elk hunting in sacred ground and now something is coming after them for revenge. A side note, I also just love listening to the author talk about horror. You can tell how much he cares.\ \ 08. Alls Well - Mona Awad: My queen of weird literary horror. Theatre director suffering with chronic pain, has a strange night with 3 individuals and starts getting whatever she wants and takes out her revenge.\ \ 09. Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine - Gail Honeyman: I know this one doesn't seem like it would fit here but Eleanor showed me my favorite type of main character (Mary and Strange Sally Diamond as well)\ \ 10. The Lamb - Lucy Rose: It feels wrong to include a book that came out in 2025 but I couldn't leave it out. Margot and her mama live in a cabin in the woods where they consume certain people that knock on their door. This book is brutal and completely devastating. It's shocking that this is a debut novel.
