ELEANOR & PARK by Rainbow Rowell

Title: Eleanor & Park
Author: Rainbow Rowell
Publisher: Orion eBooks
Date published: 2012
Genre: Fiction/YA romance
My review: This is a gorgeous book about first love/unexpected love. Two teenagers simply falling in love on the school bus.

Eleanor is from a poor broken family, has lived a very hard life and is starting a new school. She has a hard time at home and then goes to school and has a hard time with everyone there as well. Everyone, that is, except for Park.
Park is at the lower end of the cool crowd, but a cool kid nonetheless.

It all pulls together nicely at the end. After the first second of finishing I was a tad disappointed and thinking 'Is that the end?' Until I worked out what the words could've been on the card... A few possibilities but the most likely should come to you after a second or so.

My rating: 5/5
