It was really good and I just really wanted to read it all and it never to end.

Wow, this book took me back in time, made me feel all those first love feelings.  Great narration. 

Oh wow.. this book.. It took my breath away. I know how they feel. And Eleanor’s story, I feel for her.. A girl who is barely 17 with so much going on, just trying to survive.. It is heartbreaking. The end began to frustrate me, until the last chapter. Perfect ending!

Yep

Maybe it's because I went through this book so slowly but the ending felt abrupt. I am still not entirely sure what the three words are. I enjoyed it for the most part though. I liked the side characters-- except Richie or whatever his name was. He was the worst. I'm glad to be done reading about him and bummed that he didn't drunk drive his car into a pole (which I would only ever say about a fictional character, for the record).

Rainbow Rowell, no te costaba nada escribir 10 paginillas más para hacernos felices a todos. Aún así, se lo recomendaré a todos los futuros hijos de mis amigas.

I give this book 3 stars bcs this book is not really special for me, I don't know--the story was good but not really good. I just like the way Rowell wrote every single words in this book, the story seems so real. She (Rowell) is pretty good at describing Eleanor and Park's life.But this book is really not good enough for me.
This book has taught me that life is not easy, moreover you have to face an abusive step-father like Eleanor's, I admitted it. But, in the end of the book, I think Eleanor is very selfish, leave her little sister and brothers to move to Minnesota.

3.5 stars, this book was very good. It helped me realize that I do enjoy chick-lit (would this be considered chick-lit??) Eleanor and Park's family dynamics and what they both end up going through emotionally is truly sweet and sour- just like first-loves should be. It was very lovely and idealistic of a romance that everyone should have the opportunity to experience because that is how you can eventually grow. I love Rainbow Rowell's writing and other works so I was a little biased into how much I would like this book, but I'm glad I wasn't disappointed. :)

I'm dying, because of you. Because of you, Rainbow Rowell. :'(

This book is ridiculously light but surprisingly good. I mean it. The way Rowell writes is beautiful and natural. She didn't complicate her words with all kinds of mushy poetry, just simple lines yet the effect is, oh my goodness, huge.

Eleanor's different. She's complicated. She just want to be invisible but she can't. Park's is different. He's complicated. All he want to do is stay away from Eleanor but apparently fates brought them together.

I feel related with Eleanor. At some point I feel like she's way too closed up and I'm not like that. But her feelings, I've been there once and it's good to see that I'm not the only one. Thank you for that, Rainbow Rowell.

I loved Park despite his 'almost' shallow characters. There are some moments when I didn't really liked him but eventually he wins me. Thank god this book written in two point of views, I'm happy to read inside of Park's head.

Congratulations, Rowell. You got yourself a top place. ;)

This book is absolutely amazing. The story is incredible, and the writing is beautiful. I absolutely loved it.
