Genre- Romance,
YA fiction5 stars ****** (really liked it)
Set over the course of one school year in 1986, ELEANOR AND PARK is the story of two star-crossed misfits – smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you’ll remember your own first love – and just how hard it pulled you under.
Have you ever been shopping and looked at something on a mannequin and loved it? Then you try it on and everything fit all wrong and you're like, what the hey?
The sleeves were too tight, the waist is too snug, and the wrists cuffs cut into you like razors.
Eleanor and Park was like looking at a mannequin and trying the clothing on but it fit... right. Just right.
Snug in all the perfect places, loose where it needs to be, and silky along the arms. The writing was fantastic, the dialogue captured essence, and the flow of the book couldn't have been better. Rainbow Rowell did a fantastic job at capturing the essence of a first love. All the glory, all the whoosh of it, and the fall out points. Man.
It really was a good book. One your likely never to forget in the near- future.
"Parks face, asleep, was a brand-new kind of beautiful. Sunshine-trapped-in-amber skin. Full, flat mouth. Strong arched cheekbones. (Eleanor didn't have any cheekbones.)

He caught her by surprise and before she new it her heart was breaking for him. Like it didst have anything better to break over...
Maybe it didn't.
The sun was just below the horizon, and the inside of the truck bluey pink. Eleanor kissed parks new face- just under his eyes, not quite on his nose. Art work. that's what Park was like."
"Holding her hand was like holding a butter. Alive."
