Upon being asked “How are you?,” what do we mean when we say that we‘re “fine?” Eleanor Oliphant prides herself on being just fine, self-sufficient to the extreme and content in not speaking to another person for days. But when she suddenly falls for a handsome yet selfish musician, her hilarious pursuit of him causes her to tally the true cost of loneliness and find its salve in the form of friendship and an obligation to others.

Una storia d'amore che racconta una relazione imperfetta tra due persone ferite
Decisamente non la tipica storia d'amore, ma un racconto di come due persone possano amarsi tanto e nonostante ciò farsi comunque del male
According to Siegel, when we are feeling emotion, we are integrating and absorbing new awareness into our consciousness (2009). I often tell clients that tears can be thought of as a physical sign of the integration process that‘s occurring in our hearts and minds. When you cry these deeper tears of realization, you ultimately end up feeling better.

My secret Santa loves me! 😁

This novel took me awhile to read, not because it‘s not fabulous. But because you need to be in a good state of mind to read it. Do not read if you are depressed!
Nora attempts to unalive herself and ends up in the midnight library where she can try on an infinite number of different lives until she finds one she wants to stay in.
But is the grass really greener on the other side? What truly determines a happy life?

Just a few more random thoughts from my StoryGraph 2025 Reading Wrap-Up thingy. Tagged book was the most shelved. I wonder if it would be the same on Goodreads?
Longest book was In the Unlikely Event at 512 pages. The book it took me the longest to finish was Emma. 😂
SG says I read 30 mysteries, my most read genre (by far). My spreadsheet also says I read 30 mysteries, but I don‘t know if they‘re the same ones!
