Ha! Actually it's 3,5 stars (when is Goodreads going to add the half stars in its system???). Anyway. I love: the 80s setting, all the music and stuff (although besides music and walkman, I guess there's nothing much about the 80s in this book), the characters (eleanor is quite ok and park- although a little bit too hopelessly romantic for my taste - is kinda cute), and the feeling I had when reading this book (reminiscing about the past, uh huh).

I really enjoyed this book. I think it's sweet and it captures the life and angst of teens well. However, I can't say I totally understand the hype that surrounds this book. I think it's great but I don't understand why it's got the amount of attention it did.

I liked the booked but there are some open ends that just left me sad disappointed and a little bit confused. Rainbow didn't have to spell everything out but it leaves me wondering a lot about what actually happened between characters like Eleanor and Richie. Eleanor & Park. FanGirl was definitely better all together in my opinion but I'm looking forward to more of Rainbow Rowell's books. Well, on to the next one!

this book cheered me up. It masked abuse with humour and even packed in a bit of suspense (where you don't expect it). I love how easy it is to read it, with eleanor's and park's life presented in alternate short segments. I just want to reach the end of the book. I can't stop.

More like 4 1/2 stars. Cried all the way through. Wonderful and sad.
