A beautiful story about self discovery and acceptance and about two teenagers finding first love. There are dark themes in the book but overall it is a sweet story about lovable characters Eleanor and Park. I loved the ending it was the perfect way to finish the book.

This is such a beautiful book. It felt like failing in love for the first time all over again. It was lighthearted and heavy, sometimes passionate and cold. The main characters are so unique with their passion for music and comic books. I have such major book hanger with the way the things are ended in the book, but I’m still so glad I checked it out in my library. Sure the lines were cheesy and things were so cliche and fast, but I loved it because it brought nostalgia and feelings back from my first love.

THE ENDING OMGGGGGG who let the author do this :( come on the book was so incredibly amazing and it wasn't another teen novel that would never actually happen in real life. minus some of the '80s stuff, it could happen today. the ending frustrated me a little because they could've kept their love going, and park tried really hard. you could almost feel his heart breaking with each and every letter with no reply. Its not like the books where one character dies and then no one can do anything about it, eleanor could have tried.... ahh it was still so good!

I first read this book when I was 15/16 and adored it. Rereading it now I realize that it was never that amazing to begin with. While I still love some of the quotes and the main characters themselves, Rowell didn’t do enough research over Parks character and the romance was (while cute) very rushed into.
