"Bono met his wife in high school," Park says. "So did Jerry Lee Lewis," Eleanor answers. "I'm not kidding," he says. "You should be," she says, "we're 16." "What about Romeo and Juliet?" "Shallow, confused, then dead." "I love you," Park says. "Wherefore art thou," Eleanor answers. "I'm not kidding," he says. "You should be." Set over one school year in 1986, Eleanor & Park is the story of two star-crossed misfits—smart enough to know first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try.

4 star? Yes 4 because I didn't like the ending. I didn't understand Eleanor's negative outlook but I thought the ending was very creative and well done. It did feel a little fushed.
0My thoughts on this book can be found in the comments that I made as I read the book. In short: this is one of the best books I've ever read in the YA spectrum, and I've read a lot of books of the YA like over the last few years. I just love Rainbow Rowell's writing style, and this book was no different. I would read this book if you are looking for a fun read, but also one that is a bit of an emtional rolar coaster.
