RaveIrish Independent (IRE)\"
Grief is a journey which varies for each person who has lost a loved one and O’Reilly struggles to process his own grief due to his young age. The humour of which emerges from the pages is rightly inserted at the most inopportune moments. Sedaris in style (observational anecdotes in abundance), O’Reilly’s love for his father and siblings is apparent. Expect to laugh out loud, almost constantly, and fall in love with the O’Reilly clan. I cannot recommend this enough. An outstanding read. \

PanIrish Independent (IRE)While this is a well-intentioned novel with a charming protagonist, it falls short of its target. Molly is not consistent enough—either verbally or in her thoughts—to be believable, and there are some glaring racial stereotypes which made for uncomfortable moments. Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine this is not.
