This book is one of my absolute FAVORITE books of ALL TIME! Every time I read it, I get butterflies in my chest and stomach, like I am the characters in the book. I had to buy this book three times because I would let people borrow it and they would never return it because it is THAT good!
I absolutely adore the characters and their backstories and just everything about them, especially their music taste :)

★x4 | (B+) 89% | AGES 16+ | Holy crap this was pretty darn good! This is my very first Rainbow Rowell book and I say it’s some what of a success.
This book tackles almost every subject that every kid faces. You should be able to find yourself in at least one of these characters.

IT WAS SO GOOD! I read it in a day. But it was definitely emotionally crippling.
Amazing book. Surprisingly easy to relate to the teen romance of this story. Both characters are carefully constructed and believable.

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.
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.
