This book was so close to being perfect that part of me just wants to give it 5 stars anyway. But the author's use of the r-slur and racially insensitive language was so uncalled for and unnecessary and took away from the beauty of this near-perfect romance.

I thought the overall story was pretty good, but it was definitely missing some things. There were also little things that the author included that did not to be added in, and most of them had a very racist or fatphobic undertone. 

alright i just read this again for school. wtf was that. im mortified. literally eleanor has to be the most dramatic human ever im sorry. its so frustrating hearing her talk. poor park.
