🎧 Neste livro vamos ter o romance de Eleanor e de Park, dois inadaptados entre os colegas da sua secundária por diferentes razões. Ela é a nova aluna, de cabelo ruivo volumoso que veste roupa de homem e usa gravatas no cabelo e alfinetes como acessórios. Ele é meio-coreano meio-americano, veste-se todo de preto e tenta passar despercebido.
Quando Eleanor, alvo imediato dos bullies no autocarro da escola acaba por se sentar ao lado de um Park muito incomodado, as vidas de ambos vão mudar.
🎧 Aquele choque inicial quanto à década retratada + os capítulos curtos com saltos rápidos entre os POVs de ambos deixou-me com algum receio, mas assim que os nossos protagonistas ignoraram a má primeira impressão, o enredo flui bem.
🎧 Este livro aborda mais que um primeiro amor e todo o doce que é ler esses momentos.
Faz questão de nos mostrar que apesar de retratar os anos 80, que não é muito diferente do presente.
Encontramos:
• bullying;
• baixa autoestima e autodepreciação de ambos (ela acha-se gorda e pouco atrativa e ele acha-se pouco desenvolvido e enfemininado);
• a falta de representatividade asiática nos média americanos (Bruce Lee era o único ícone sexy que conseguiam referir);
• microagressões racistas;
• estereótipos de género.
🎧 O que teve mais foco que os pontos indicados acima e está equiparado com o romance é o drama familiar resultante das diferenças económicas de ambos.
A família da Eleanor é pobre e numerosa, enquanto que Park pertence a uma família média-alta e enraizada na comunidade.
Adorei que o que os aproximou fosse as BDs e mixtapes que o Park partilhava com ela todos os dias.
🎧 Não acho que seja um livro infalível e pode não agradar a todos, mas eu recomendo bastante, mesmo não sendo fã do tipo de final escolhido 😅.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ponderei se merecia ou não as 5 estrelas, porque eu sou sempre uma forreta a dar essa cotação, mas quando dou é sempre porque a emoção que o livro me dá ultrapassa as mesquinhisses que eu possa ter para lhe dar um 4.75 e esta foi uma dessas leituras.

going into this book blindly, i thought that this book would be a cute, light romance. i was soooo wrong. this book was SO addicting like i could NOT put it down. this book taught me a lot…especially to never judge people because u litterally dont know their story. the way that it was written i felt such emotions for each character and became so attached to them. i also felt that this book had a lot of racism in it and i’m not sure if the author did that to show the racism in the past, or because of some other reason..jus confused ab that.
