Where do I start with this book? It was something so different yet so ordinary you'd never think of finding such stories in books. Or at the very least I didn't think it was possible to give a person so many feels when you thought you couldn't get any more.
“I don't like you, Park," she said, sounding for a second like she actually meant it. "I..." - her voice nearly disappeared - "think I live for you."

"Eleanor & Park" is a brilliant novel. It's cleverly put together and gorgeously written.

Loved this book! I listened to the audio version of this book. I enjoyed that it took place in the past and could very well be a true story. I hated everything Eleanor was going through with her family and I hate knowing their are kids that go through this every day. Highly recommend if you enjoy realistic fiction/a love story
I had high expectations for this book - and I like to "feel" when I read a great book. Although I did feel significantly during this story, I could only summarize it as "uncomfortable."

Even though this is a harrowing tale of child neglect the delft writing refocused to the love story. Amazing sorry and masterful writing.
I understand cursing is a big part of some teenage venacular, but I could have done without so much of it. My personal opinion.
this book needs a sequel!!
