About the Book:
Two misfits.
One extraordinary love.

Eleanor
... Red hair, wrong clothes. Standing behind him until he turns his head. Lying beside him until he wakes up. Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good enough...Eleanor.

Park... He knows she'll love a song before he plays it for her. He laughs at her jokes before she ever gets to the punch line. There's a place on his chest, just below his throat, that makes her want to keep promises...Park.

Set over the course of one school year, this is the story of two star-crossed sixteen-year-olds—smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try.




Review:

“Did she miss him?
She wanted to lose herself in him. To tie his arms around her like a tourniquet.
If she showed him how much she needed him, he’d run away.”
                                                                                                            - Eleanor



The book is a story about two high school students Eleanor & Park who live in Omaha, Nebraska. Eleanor is a full figured girl with red curly hairs and park half –Korean boy. They meet each other first time on the school bus, initially not very fond of each other but later on connect well over the love for Comics and 80’s Music.
Gradually they getting to know each other they fall in love ignoring what others feel about them. They are young and madly in love.
