Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman Review

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
★★

This book was not what I was expecting, it had a little bit of a darker undertone to it. The humor in the book was well written and made me laugh out loud.

Some of the scenes in this book could have been written better or painted a more vivid picture of what was happening in some parts of the book.

"He was alone when he died. Do they suspect foul play?"

I actually did laugh out loud at this part of the book, because you just can't say stuff like that, and Eleanor had no idea it wasn't something you should say. Especially right after the family had lost their grandfather.

This definitely is an adult book, I don't know if it was because I wasn't invested enough in the story or just wanted it to be over, but I feel like it wasn't a great interesting read. I might end up reading it again when I'm older.

Books I've Judged by Their Covers

Charlotte Holmes Series by Brittany Cavallaro This series was on display at my library and I picked up the first book, not only is the cover beautiful but the books are intriguing, have interesting characters and mysteries. .................................................................................................................................................... The Sun is Also a Star and Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon These books are gorgeous and as soon as I finished reading them, I immediately wanted copies for myself, if even only to display. I loved both books, they were such interesting takes on contemporary. .................................................................................................................................................... To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo This cover is to die for, the color of the background is gorgeous. I really enjoyed the book, I didn't know, but it was a modern retell...

The Gilded Wolves ARC Review

The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi ★ ★ I still have no clue what the main plot of this book, and I have no idea why it's called Gilded Wolves. This was one of my most anticipated reads for January, and I was thrilled to receive an ARC of it. It was disappointing to say the least, which seemed to be how all my reads have been in January. It was a relief when I finally finished this book. It seems like the author was trying so hard to not make to not make this book like Six of Crows, that the more she tried not to, the more the book seemed to be like SoC. At throughout almost the entire book, I had no clue what was happening and nothing was vividly painting a picture of who was doing what and why. I do love the cover, but it doesn't really make any sense with why the title is what it is and why the cover is what it is. I just wanted to love this book so badly, and it had such potential, but ultimately, it let me down.
