Comepletely Fine (but rather incomplete though)
Wow, and again here is a book with raving or ranting reviews. And again, I find myself somewhere inbetween. Just like the title says, this book is Completely Fine. Fine, but not exceptional.
While reading, you will laugh and you will probably shed a tear or two about Eleanor Oliphant's coping mechanisms. Her transformation from merely surviving to actually dealing with the sh*** life has thrown at her, is impressive. But for me, this tale is not complete. The supporting characters are just that: supporting. You don't see where they come from and how they evolve. And, to be frank, I find it hard to believe that absolutely everyone she interacts with is friendly and supportive.
But hey, bonus points for not making it about romantic love though! So a fine and moving, but rather incomplete story.

Een weelderige zomerse bruiloft in een luxe hotel aan zee wordt verstoord door de veertigjarige, pas gescheiden Phoebe. Voor ze het weet is ze bruiloftsgast tegen wil en dank. 'Scherp, geestig en een genot om te lezen.'
Om haar baan als video producer te redden, gaat Katie in zee met reddingszwemmer Hutch. Het enige probleem? Ze kan niet zwemmen. Wat begint als een leugentje om bestwil verandert al snel in een web van bedrog.
