I really wanted to love this book, and parts of it I did. Yet, Eleanor Oliphant had a very slow start. Once I read a little more than half of the book, I couldn‘t seem to put it down. The book‘s plot and structure are very much like it‘s narrator. Eleanor is unsuspecting and even bland, but once the surface has been scratched another side the Eleanor, and ultimately the novel, is revealed. #reesesbookclub

At first it was hard to get into the story or really care about anyone because there were so many characters. The last third of the story picks up and has interesting twists. I do think this would translate really well to TV as a limited mini-series. #reesesbookclub 🎧
3.25⭐️ While there were aspects of the book that I really liked, I felt that there was a good chunk of the book that I struggled to get through. I really liked the sections when Nan was at the mother‘s home and felt that they were better than the more current timeline that was presented in the book. #2022 #historicalfiction #basedonatruestory #1920s #fiction #bookreview #bookstagram #reesesbookclub

De Gramont spins a clever historical re-imagining of what could have happened during Agatha Christie‘s mysterious real life disappearance, while also weaving in a separate Christie-style murder mystery. This is more about Nan than it is about Agatha; I was surprised by how much I liked her character. I was unsure of where things were going for awhile, but every piece of the puzzle came together in a way that I loved! 🎧 #reesesbookclub
#reesesbookclub has picked an amazing read for January! This story broke my heart while at the same time made me think. This isn‘t a light read by any means but one that is very much worth taking the time to pick up.

I‘m ending the year on a wonderful read! Elif Shafak is a beautiful and compassionate storyteller. Her lyrical writing incorporates hints of folklore, history, and magical realism. I loved how seamlessly stories of plants and animals were woven into the narrative of connection, memory, trauma, home, and love. I don‘t think I‘ll ever look at trees the same way. #reesesbookclub

This evoked my preteen days of enjoying The Princess Diaries! Izumi is a relatable teenager swept up in a Japanese fairytale. I was more interested in her relationship with her father and cultural identity instead of her love interest, but it was adorable overall! 🎧 #reesesbookclub
