Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
This week the girls get stuck into Gail Honeyman's glorious debut "Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine", a gorgeous celebration of humanity, connection and how beautiful and unique everyone's own normal can be.
The girls talk:
- Oddness and our reactions to it - what makes an odd person and do we ignore them? Because it looks like we might...
- Family dynamics - supportive, toxic and everything in between
- Just how important human interaction and being your authentic self really is
I mean, they also talk about the BTS Festa and how Chloe needs to log off Instagram for like 2 seconds, Katie's heroic defeat of Radditz during her lockdown Kakarot binge and Saoirse's continued savagery (Saoirse so spicy!)
Basically they explore the deepest recesses of the human soul, is the thing

More about Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine:
Eleanor Oliphant leads a simple life. She wears the same clothes to work every day, eats the same meal deal for lunch every day and buys the same two bottles of vodka to drink every weekend.
Eleanor Oliphant is happy. Nothing is missing from her carefully timetabled life. Except, sometimes, everything.
One simple act of kindness is about to shatter the walls Eleanor has built around herself. Now she must learn how to navigate the world that everyone else seems to take for granted while searching for the courage to face the dark corners she s avoided all her life.
Change can be good. Change can be bad. But surely any change is better than... fine?
