I had been so looking forward to starting this audio book. Ticked every box.

I’m 90 minutes in and I have not all warmed to the author.

She lost her home and then finds out her husband has a terminal illness. My heart went out to her struggles But....

She seems deeply judgmental and actually, for want of another word, bitchy.

I feel like I could well be the only person on the planet who reads / listens to the book and feels this way.

But on the off chance I’m not alone....?

I feel the same about Eleanor Oliphant. I'm about a quarter of the way through. I do not like her at all. I probably won't finish it.

This is on my list of books to read so I’m intrigued to hear this ..:

Oh no! I’m just about to start this and have wanted to read it for ages!

She's really annoying! And hopelessly disorganised. I finished the book and it was worth a read but I don't see that it's as amazing as people say.

Pleased I’m not alone

So far it seems that everyone they encounter she pours negative judgment over

I’m close to abandoning

I thought that as well, it put me off reading further into the book. Lots of people have said how good it is though
