Gosh this was such a darn cute book! The first one I read by the author and I really like her writing! I almost stopped reading it because of a few f words in the first few pages (but after that they were few and far between), but glad I did not because it was such a sweet story of teenage romance - it brought me back to memories of when boys made my knees week and my thoughts were obsessive over one guy (; Ahhh memories. The one liners and love language between Park and Eleanor were very sweet

I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars on this one. Part of me thinks that this story is nothing new. We have an awkward girl from a crappy home life who is immediately picked on when she starts a new school. Then she meets a semi-awkward boy and they fall in love even though she never opens up to him about her "real" life. I swear I've read this story several times before. On the other hand, Eleanor and Park totally had me under their spell in this book. Both characters were well written with varying l

OMG!!! What an amazing young adult book! But seriously, that ending. Can we please get a book two??
I read the first few chapters and then took a break for a week, and then I couldn't remember what was going on, so I had to go back and reread those chapters again.
That being said, I'm glad I got into this book. So many of my students and former students loved it, and I see why now. Eleanor is such a force to be reckoned with - confident and unsure of herself, beautiful with hidden bits of ugly, smart and hard-working while being naive and distrusting of the world. And Park is the kind of guy th ...more

I loved this book! There is a lot of swearing, but it goes along with the subplot of Eleanor being bullied. All of the characters are really developed, even the very minor ones, which is so fun. I loved how she described Park's parents. The author really captures being a teenager in love, and I actually loved what she did with the ending, which was unexpected. Love love love!

Ugh. How could it just end like that?? I feel so lost now.. No closure whatsoever. This was such a sweet book. The writing was superb. I will definitely read more by this author. I just wish there was a more detailed ending. Or at least an epilogue.
Just finished this book and I just... This book reminds me of why I love to read. I literally hugged it when I finished it. The ending was so achy and perfect. My eyes keep periodically welling up with tears. I am undone.
Couldn't put it down.
