Eleanor Elephant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

Month two of Zoom meetings and we all managed to get into the meeting without any problems. Yea, us! This month we welcomed Becky and we managed not to scare her off and even showed her that we can talk about the book when we really try.

The past couple of months we've chosen numbers that correspond to questions as our way to keep on track. This time we'd already answered four of the questions before we even got to the questions with a discussion of the book before we started that part. That's how great this book is as a book club choice.  Some of us figured out the big reveal before we got to the end but most of us hadn't gotten to that. We talked about whether or not we thought Eleanor might have Asperger's or if her behavior was just a result of her upbringing. We all loved Eleanor and the way that Honeyman gradually brought her to the point she could come to grips with what had happened to her and the way friendship made all the difference in her life. We agreed that Honeyman showed how one person who shows kindness can make all the difference.
