I finished this book at around 2am of Aug 4. Because I had began reading at 11 pm, just before going to sleep. But I couldn't put it down. It was so fluffy and it makes me feel so good. And I was worried that the good feeling would be taken away from me. So I had to finish it, because I feel like I don't deserve to hold on to whatever good feeling Eleanor and Park got me feeling.

The rest of the book was so lovely, apart from the things that weren't so lovely. But the prologue hang over my head like a looming cloud, carrying a storm. It made me worry through out the good stuff. I laughed and giggled and aww'd and after a few seconds, I'd remember the prologue and wondered what would happen to trigger such. 

I love this book. I love Park. I love Eleanor. I love them together. And I wanted to protect them. They made me happy. They made me cry. They me reminisce a childhood that I never had, because I never allowed myself to just be. 

I love Park. And I love Eleanor. And I love their love. And I love that what they had became their anchor throughout the storm that were their life. 

I wish I had read this book earlier. Because it made me realize so many things that could have helped me when I was younger and none the wiser. I love this book so much.

This book is everything! It’s good written, the characters are people you want to become friends with! (At least, some of them) It’s wholesome with a hint of love. The style of the writer is every fun to read! Definitely could recommend this book!

This book was so close to being perfect that part of me just wants to give it 5 stars anyway. But the author's use of the r-slur and racially insensitive language was so uncalled for and unnecessary and took away from the beauty of this near-perfect romance.
