by Rainbow Rowell
"Set over the course of one school year in 1986, ELEANOR AND PARK is the story of two star-crossed misfits – smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you’ll remember your own first love – and just how hard it pulled you under."

This book was so many things. Adorable and heart warming, but also heavy and heart breaking. I really didn't expect such a contrast. Eleanor and Park were both such unique characters who I enjoyed discovering even the littlest of details about. Their relationship progressed naturally, and never did I feel an action or comment was out of place.
I understood the three words with which Eleanor left. They could've been three very different words, and though that certainly would've made for a happier ending, I feel the way she said her goodbye was so powerful. I didn't like it, as Park would similarly say to Eleanor. But I understood it.
I am so glad to have read this book, and I hope to read more of Rainbow Rowell's works in the future, as this one was special to me.
