Staff Book Review by Liz

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman "The moment hung in time like a drop of honey from a spoon, heavy, golden. Despite covering some very complex themes, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is actually an uplifting story about one women's journey back into the world of love and self-acceptance. A social misfit with a traumatic past, the novel follows the interior workings of Eleanor's mind as she is determined to find her way out of isolation and into the world we call "mainstream". Quirkiness and deadpan humor abound as the novel begs the question what it really means to be human.  A light read, that touches upon universal truths everyone can relate to, I highly recommend this book for it's portrayal of what it means to persevere!

City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert Gritty & Glamorous!  With the colorful 1940's New York City theatre scene as a backdrop, Gilbert shares a coming of age story that does not disappoint. As we follow Vivian, a 19 year old girl banished from the suburbs to live with her bohemian aunt in NYC, lot of bad behavior ensues, but in the end we learn what it means to love, lose and learn what matters most.  I could not put this book down!
