It’s a terrible book with awful people that do awful things to other people. It about made me sick by the end. Nothing good happens in this book
Author Rainbow Rowell has just taken me over the rainbow … for a sentimental journey through adolescence in her outstanding young-adult novel Eleanor and Park (St. Martin’s, 2013), which recently garnered a Michael L. Printz Award for young adult literature.
It’s a tender story, portraying the sweetness and awkwardness of first love, the almost guttural pain of feeling like an outsider in the wounding world of high school, and the sadness surrounding the life of a teen in an abusive family environment. The characters are deep, funny, and endearing – most strikingly Eleanor, one of the heroes of the novel.

It is cute and fun, punk rock and comics... yet it is also a look at life issues. I loved the '80s pop culture references and I loved the realism.
