If I loved Elenor Oliphant what else would I like?

[ThatsWotSheSaid]

I’m wanting some new books and don’t know where to start. I want relatively easy reads, I have a baby so can’t be dealing with anything that can’t be dropped in and out of. Any recommendations?

Stuff by Marian Keyes

Don't know but following as almost finished Eleanor Oliphant!

Sally Rooney "Normal People"

Brilliant and heartbreaking

The Rosie Project

I hated Elinor Oliphant and it reminded me of The Rosie Project which I also hated. So on that logic you might really like The Rosie Project!

I loved it. I also really like Liane Moriarty books. I found Tracy Bloom on my Kindle - her books are reasonably short - so easy reads.

The Cactus (can’t remember the authors name). Remarkable book in a very similar vein.

Sally Rooney "Normal People"

Brilliant and heartbreaking

I hated this book. I know so many people rave about it but I was just left feeling cold. Nothing really happened in it, I felt.

OP, The Seven Imperfect Rules of Elvira Carr is very similar to Eleanor.

Ooh The Cactus! Very Elenor-esque but I preferred it tbh

Elizabeth is Missing

I loved it too.

I really enjoy Liane Moriarty books the characters are complex some I loath othe to love

I loved it as well. I was recommended that book and one other, From the end we start. Very different and I had to push pass the first chapter but I loved it.

Ps I hate lianne Moriarty ☺

The Keeper of Lost Things?

A gentleman in Moscow. Excellent book

Seconding The Rose Project!

The Summer of Impossible Things by Roman Coleman is one of the best books I have read for a long time.

I hated this book. I know so many people rave about it but I was just left feeling cold. Nothing really happened in it, I felt.

For me the brilliance was that not much happened but so much did happen. Her writing of the human thought process and emotions is superb.
I can understand your pov.

Colonel Pettigrew's Last Stand, the Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, Mr Rosenblum's List, When God was a Rabbit. Loved the Rosie Project, and Elinor Oliphant and loved all these too.

A Man Called Ove, a nice easy read which is hilariously funny and desperately sad at the same time.

The seven imperfect rules of Elvira Carr.

Also enjoyed Gentleman in Moscow and Keeper Of Lost Things

What about Matt Haig? I enjoyed ‘hot to stop tike’ And ‘the humans’.

*how to stop time

I've just finished the Last of the Stanfields and it was marvellous.

Scribbles notes to being to the library tomorrow. Hot to Stop Tike.

Yes to Elizabeth is Missing & How to Stop Time. Also Big Little Lies (Liane Moriarty). Also different but really gripping Life After Life by Kate Atkinson - fantastic book.
