Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell is a New York Times
Bestseller novel. Rowell has also written other books such as Fangirl. What is
especially incredible about Eleanor & Park is Rowell’s ability to take both
views from the guy and the girl in the relationship, it’s truly astounding.
This book is full of adventure, heartbreak, and surprise.
Eleanor & Park are two individuals that would seem to
not associate, and that is mostly true until one day Park starts talking to
Eleanor. Park is an Asian boy, loved, liked, and very fortunate. Eleanor is
odd, quiet, and bullied by a lot of people at her school. Once their
relationship starts, it starts fast. Eleanor isn’t use to too much of a good
thing, with her moms new abusive husband
and 4 siblings crowded into one tiny house, so she spends as much time as she
can with Park. Just as everything seems to be going their way, the story takes
a dramatic turn- a climax both heartbreaking and phenomenal.
Rainbow Rowell’s writing talent is flaunted in this
wonderful book. I highly recommend this book for anybody who likes adventure,
romance, and the harsh touch of reality. Eleanor & Park is a ‘must read’ of
the year, and is an unforgettable story that will leave readers touched.
