A lot of these reviews were really negative regarding your Eleanor treats/speaks to Park, or frustration in the lack of communication on E's end. I fully disagree. Rainbow wrote this book with a heart for a girl living in and through trauma. Eleanor's voice is accurate and tragic. I fully related to her journey.

Possible spoiler-related content below.....

I grew up in an abusive home. I was not conventionally pretty. I spent every day of my life trying to disappear and stand out at the same time. Be the good student so teachers were never worried about me. Don't get the attention of boys. Then one noticed despite my efforts. It was a full time job to fall in love and keep myself and the relationship safe at the same time.

I have read this book more than a couple of times and I still love it. I would suggest reading the trigger warnings, but overall a very cute teen romance.

Personally, I think this book is one not to be taken so seriously ; throughout reading this book, I could only imagine myself as a teenage girl in 2016, lying on her bed and absentmindedly kicking her legs as she reads this…

There are some… questionable lines, to say the least, and they’re dismissed almost as quickly as they are mentioned. 

It was quite nice to read, what with the teenager-y feel of the book, but it wasn’t anything particularly special in my opinion.

•What did I think of this book? (Mult. POV)
This book was a breath of fresh air. I was over the moon with high-school love, that first crush you never forget. But where's there's high-school there's Bullys and if that isn't tough enough on a teenager imagine coming home to a step-dad that treats you and your siblings like crap and looks at you a little too long.. When you find that one thing or person that makes your day better you hold on tight... and that's what Eleanor & Park is  ❤❤ 
I would recommend this with tissues.
