Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell



Set over the course of one school year in 1986, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits—smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you’ll remember your own first love—and just how hard it pulled you under.

If you ever need a really great love story to read, read this book! Eleanor and Park depicts a beautifully written love story by Rainbow Rowell that you're not going to want to put down. It's a story about falling in love for all the right reasons, and the journey of how much you would risk for the person you love. This is the complete opposite of a cheesy love story. This book will make you cry, laugh, and love. I don't think I can stress enough how endearing this book was to read. This book is perfect for people in their teens and early twenties (however I think everyone can appreciate this book and its mature perspective on love), so buy this book and trust me, you won't regret it.

Have a great week!
