A review by c0urtn3yy
Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

4.0

I really enjoyed this book; but I'm not really seeing what all the hullabaloo is about... people that think this book is contraversal must just have nothing better to do I guess. some parts are kinda ugly, but so is real life. I thought this was a fairly realistic love story between a couple of misfit teens. but apparently stories like this are only acceptable when vampires are involved. Eleanor's side of the story makes my heart hurt. but speaking of sides, I LOVED the back and forth writing between Eleanor's thoughts and Park's thoughts to tell the story. and I'm torn whether I hate or love the ending.


[maybe this next part is a spoiler?]


having to assume the outcome is both refreshing and aggravating at the same time.
