Reviews - Elenanor & Park | The StoryGraph

I could see why people wouldn't like this book. Teen romance has a way of feeling trite and naive making you want to gag. I like that Eleanor wasn't the stereotypical manic pixie girl and park wasn't just the hot guy or the nerdy guy. It was a fun read and reminded me a lot of my first relationship. Some of the situations were a little farfetched and it didn't feel like it was the 80s either.

Better than the fault in our stars-for the YA genre.

This is why I never pay attention to reviews, because it gives me expectations. And I end up dissapointed like this. I thought, at first, this was going to be a chill novel, but it was corny af. Eleanor annoyed me so much, even before I reached the half of the book. And no, I'm not saying I was expecting all to be happy and fine, I know sh*t happens, but everything and everyone were so irritating... This only was a quick read to accomplish my challenge, whatever.

PD: Eleanor inmamable. Creo que la autora condensó toda su inseguridad en ese personaje.
PD2: Also, there was this fact that Park is a korean last name, not first name... This just made it even more irritating.
