A funny and big-hearted novel for readers of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and Remarkably Bright Creatures, about a lonely young woman who prefers to observe the world rather than participate in it, and the seismic repercussions that follow when she steps out of her own bubble. Cali Adeline lives in Charlottesville, Virginia, with her family where she loves to spend as much time outdoors as possible. People Watching in the Desert is her first novel. Elizabeth Becker is the author of The Moonlight Healers (2025) and the forthcoming Saltwater Cowboys (2027).
