From the GoodReads website: "Two misfits.
One extraordinary love.
Eleanor... Red hair, wrong clothes. Standing behind him until he turns his head. Lying beside him until he wakes up. Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good enough...Eleanor.
Park... He knows she'll love a song before he plays it for her. He laughs at her jokes before she ever gets to the punch line. There's a place on his chest, just below his throat, that makes her want to keep promises...Park.
Set over the course of one school year, this is the story of two star-crossed sixteen-year-olds—smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try."
Love it, love it, love it. That's what I thought while reading this book. Then when I was done, "WOW!" This is another book that should be moved to the top of your To Read list.
The life that Eleanor had to live, the things she had to deal with not only at school, but at home....I don't think I've read a book from that perspective before. Yes, I've read books where a kid gets made fun of at school, and from their perspective. But to throw in the kinds of experiences she had at home....just, wow. I loved her character, and I loved Park's character. And I seriously wanted to be able to throttle Eleanor's mother - stupid, stupid woman.
But again, you seriously need to read this soon if it's on your To Read list, and if it's not, get it on there! :)
Can't wait to read more of her books!
