INTO THE BOOK...
I Personally think this book is amazing! Every single page has something to look forward. I love having to put myself into Eleanors shoes and see how she feels, and being able to relate to some of parks life. I find it so sweet how Eleanor and Park are attracted to eachtother yet they are so different. This has to be one of the best book I have ever read. -Amari Harris

Professional Reviews
Gr 9 Up-Eleanor, 15, is the new girl at school and bullied because she's overweight and dresses in a flamboyant manner. Park is a half-Korean boy who has lived in Omaha, Nebraska, all his life but still feels like an outsider. This is a story of first love, which very slowly builds from the first day Eleanor sits next to Park on the school bus. First they ignore each other, and then they slowly become friends through their love of comic books and 1980s alternative music. Park is the only good thing in Eleanor's life. Her home life is a miserable exercise in trying to stay out of her abusive stepfather's way, and finding new ways to wear the same clothes repeatedly since there is no money for anything extra. Park adores everything about Eleanor, and she finds refuge at his house after school with his understanding parents. Things finally explode at Eleanor's house and Eleanor and Park's relationship is truly tested. The narrative points of view alternate between Eleanor and Park, adding dimension to Rowell's story (St. Martin's Griffin, 2013), and narrators Rebecca Lowman and Sunil Malhtra competently voice the pair. Give this to teenage girls who crave romance.-Julie Paladino, East Chapel Hill High School, NCĪ±(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
