Can you love and dislike a character at the same time? Does a story about of two being good to each other enough to make it a good book? Is this book an accurate description of loneliness? And what the hell is a jerkin?
On our final episode, we’re going to be discussing Gail Honeyman's book Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine.
Described as ‘up lit’, Gail Honeyman created the character of Eleanor in response to an article she read about loneliness, and now it’s being made into a movie by Reese Witherspoon’s production company.
But what is it about this book that some people loved and others hated?
