'Reminded me not just what it's like to be young and in love, but what it's like to be young and in love with a book' John Green, author of The Fault in our Stars

Eleanor is the new girl in town, and she's never felt more alone. All mismatched clothes, mad red hair and chaotic home life, she couldn't stick out more if she tried.

Then she takes the seat on the bus next to Park. Quiet, careful and - in Eleanor's eyes - impossibly cool, Park's worked out that flying under the radar is the best way to get by.

Slowly, steadily, through late-night conversations and an ever-growing stack of mix tapes, Eleanor and Park fall in love. They fall in love the way you do the first time, when you're 16, and you have nothing and everything to lose.

Set over the course of one school year in 1986, Eleanor & Park is funny, sad, shocking and true - an exquisite nostalgia trip for anyone who has never forgotten their first love.

Review

Reminded me not just what it's like to be young and in love, but what it's like to be young and in love with a book

The pure, fear-laced, yet steadily maturing relationship Eleanor and Park develop is urgent and breathtaking and, of course, heartbreaking, too (BOOKLIST starred review)

Reminded me not just what it's like to be young and in love, but what it's like to be young and in love with a book (John Green, author of The Fault in our Stars)

'If you haven't come across it before, we very much recommend Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor And Park, which is a gut-punch of a love story that we downloaded and raced through in one train journey.' (EMERALD STREET)

A breathless, achingly good read about love and outsiders (Stephanie Perkins, author of Anna and the French Kiss)

Eleanor and Park is completely beautiful. Set in 1986 and full of retro pop culture references, it's a book I want to share with everyone. . . I don't think a single person could read this book and not have their heart melted. (ONCE UPON A BOOKCASE)

Deliriously beautiful . . . My only problem with this book was that I finished it. And I knew I wanted to keep it in my life, always (Jenny Bird for Forever Young Adult)

This sexy, smart, tender romance thrums with punk rock and true love (Gayle Forman, bestselling author of If I Stay)

Rowell keeps things surprising, and the solution - imperfect but believable - maintains the novel's delicate balance of light and dark (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

The pure, fear-laced, yet steadily maturing relationship Eleanor and Park develop is urgent and breathtaking and, of course, heartbreaking, too (Booklist, starred review)

Beautiful, adorable, and emotional book!

Reviewed in India on 25 September 2016

Verified Purchase

"She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something."

Two misfits.
One extraordinary love.

This book. I don't know what to say.

Even though I am writing this review days after finishing the book, it still gets me emotional. And only Rainbow Rowell's books can do that. I never expected this simple story of two strangers to affect like this. I mean I don't have any words for this unusual book and its characters.

Eleanor & Park doesn't talk to each other, and after reading this book you won't find it odd because their whole relationship starts with them sitting there on the bus and Eleanor trying to read Park's comics and him trying to share it with her and their songs playlists exchange and......well, I can go on forever because this book is just....too adorable, and sad :( Those cute exchange and small gestures still manages to make me smile! *Please don't pay attention to the number of 'and' I have used in this paragraph* lol

“Holding Eleanor's hand was like holding a butterfly. Or a heartbeat. Like holding something complete, and completely alive.”

I love Eleanor's character in this book. And most importantly, I love how this book shows that looks doesn't matter when you actually love someone. Eleanor has red hair and is often bullied by other students for her looks and dressing style. But she doesn't pay attention to them, mostly because she is already dealing with so many issues of her own. She has to share her room with her four siblings, and has already gone through a lot in past because of family issues.

Park is a really cool character. When he notices that Eleanor is trying to read his comics on the bus, next day he comes up with some extra comics so that she can read them. And after that they get into this routine of sharing comics and music, which then turns into a very special relationship. He's a very quite person and usually tries to stay away from any argument, but doesn't hesitate to stand up for the people he cares for.

This might look like a light read, but it's not. It deals with many important and emotional issues like bullying, poverty, and violence. While I really enjoyed their love story, I really couldn't help but feel sad during those dark and emotional scenes. I was really surprised how despite these tragic moments, the author has portrayed love and friendship so beautifully. Some scenes very horrific and intense, but they were well balanced with the romance part of the book.

And when everything was going like it was supposed to, that ending happened. I just can't stop thinking about it! And even though the ending was that bad or anything, but it wasn't what I had expected either! At the end, this book left me with a lot of mixed feelings. It's a must read for all Rainbow Rowell fans, and even for those who are curious about this cute love story of Eleanor & Park.

One of the best YA book

Reviewed in India on 6 March 2019

Verified Purchase

Eleanor is the new unusual girl in the town with wierd red hairs and an unorthodox dressing style. She has a chaotic family and a step father who she hates.

Park, the boy on the last seat of the school bus has headphones plugged in and head stuck in books.

Slowly their friendship evolve. Months after sitting beside each other on the school bus, they begin to talk. Park shares his comics and music tapes with her and she very carefully reads and hides them from her siblings and parents.

Soon they fall for each other and visiting Park's house becomes a habit for Eleanor. Park's mother doesn't appreciate Eleanor in the beginning due to her being an unconventional girl but later she too loves her.

The story moves forward where Eleanor faces several problems but Park stands rock solid behind her.

This YA book makes you believe in love and not just the idea of love. It takes you back to your teenage and you re-live every moment with them. It also tells us that being different is okay.

The end can be disappointing for some and happening for others. Initially I too was disappointed by the way it ended but later made my peace with it and filled those three unsaid words with my own imagination.

Nothing ever ends

Reviewed in India on 30 June 2018

Verified Purchase

Gripping, heartbreakingly beautiful, emotionally charged and the most unusual romantic book I have ever read. I finished this book in one day, in one go - breaking only almost at the end - why? because I did not want the book to end. I did not want to read a page where Eleanor & Park are not together or could not be together. While the story was progressing, I imagined a hundred ways how the book could end, rather should end - one would die/ both would die, one would betray the other, both will fall out of love for each other, but nothing prepared me for what lay ahead of me. It was such a huge dilemma for me, wanting to know happens next and not wanting to read ahead, coz the book will end. I almost had tears in my eyes when I was nearing the end. I could not imagine ending the book, the way it was going, with each one of them being alone and apart. I still don't know if the book really ended the way it did - or I made up an imaginary end for the book.

This book will awaken your senses and jolt you - make you feel what first love felt like. The nerve tingling, goose bumpy, giddy headed feeling of first love. Oh Rainbow Rowell, what a fabulous story you have written and I am totally in love with your first book which I've read. THANK YOU!

One of the most non cliche teen novels.

Reviewed in India on 5 November 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a beautiful story of two broken people . Who discover themselves in each other's confinement . The story is not at all cliche, like most teen novels. There's nothing cheesy about it . Just true passionate love . This story is based on the time span of 1980's which was a major sociological revolutionary era in america . That part is very well potrayed in the book . Body image , cultural identity, broken families , gender stereotype are some issues that this books touches with brilliance. If you want to read a story with honesty go for this book .

One star minus for eleanor's character .

Oh My God.. Absolutely Loved It

Reviewed in India on 5 August 2019

I don't have words to describe this book. This is something that I have been looking for a long time and also this book is my all time favorite YA Contemporary. I really loved this cute and innocent love that the characters in the book share. The family dynamic is also very well portrayed . And I really loved Park's parents. And I just want every soul in this world to read this book and just admire it.

Rachel (Confessions of a Book Geek)

Ultimately left unsatisfied. Overhyped.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 July 2017

Verified Purchase

Perhaps it was the ridiculous amount of hype surrounding this book, or the author in general, that resulted in me expecting a serious masterpiece, and which ultimately left me feeling a little... unsatisfied. The novel was reasonably well-written, with diverse characters, and it had some serious tug-on-the-heart-strings moments. But the ending was infuriating, the plot wasn't without its problems, and overall it didn't blow me away like I was willing it to.

While the book does have a slow-burning cute romance, and a hefty amount of more serious family issues, I really struggled with the fact that for me, the majority of the romance was so unbelievable.

Read in one sitting!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 October 2018

I read this book on a plane journey and literally read it from start to finish without putting it down.

It is a YA novel about a teen romance, so something we have all seen before, but it was somehow very different from the average novel of this genre. Eleanor and Park are both so well written they seem completely real, and it feels like their relationship could and would happen in real life. The way they communiate on their bus journeys was just so touching, and was so authntic as to how teenage romances are in the beginning.

It also meant a lot that the main characters were more diverse than the norm. In YA fiction, I have never come across a female protagonist who was described as fat, unless the story involved her losing weight in order to achieve her happily ever after. This is not the case with Eleanor. She is not thin, and that's just how it is. She still gets the guy, and still deserves to be happy and in love - a mesaage that young girls could do with hearing much more often. Park is also the first Korean leading man that I have read about, and there is a passage in the book that refers to how asian men are often overlooked, so it is good to see a character like this in the limelight, discussing openly what it is like to grow up in a household like his.

There are some painful experiences for the characters in this book, along with some moments of sheer happiness and excitement, and as a reader I felt like I lived through all of these moments with them. Eleanor has a tough life, but she finds an escape with Park, and this means that the book remains hopeful, even through the dark moments.

This is a wonderful YA book, the best I have read in a while.

Beautiful book - just unsure about the ending.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 August 2016

Verified Purchase

Wow. This book started off fast paced and beautifully. I couldn't put it down, I devoured it in a few days (and the times I wasn't reading it I was wanting to read it and it was all I could think about). The story focuses on Eleanor, a chubby girl with curly red hair who is very insecure, and Park, an Asian boy who loves superheros and keeps himself to himself. She has to sit next to him on the bus on her first day of school (when the bus hierarchy has already been established), and their love blossoms. She is bullied by the other kids, but she takes it in her stride and tries her best to ignore it. I love how fast paced the book is, however, it feels right. With a lot of fast paced books, they can feel rushed as if the author just wants to finish. This one didn't feel like that, it fit in with the story well. I love Eleanor and Park's romance, and can relate to Eleanor a fair bit (being an insecure chubby female myself).

I'm not sure how I feel about the ending of this book (it is left in a way that you, the reader, decide the ending). I like closure, and this book didn't give it to me. So I'm not sure if I like that. It was, however, a fitting end for the book. I'm just not sure if I'm happy it ended in the way it did, or extremely angry. That's why I've given this book 4/5, because I can't decide.

I'd recommend this book to people who like YA coming of age/romance books, such as The Fault in Our Stars - which is what made me read the book initially, John Greene's recommendation.

Beautiful story. Memorable. Made me laugh and cry a lot, and I'm sure it'll stay with me for a while. I'm just kind of hoping eventually, just maybe, the author will decide to follow up on the ending and let us know how Eleanor and Park are getting on.

Tender and beautiful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 November 2018

Oh my God, I loved this book so much, it took my little heart and snapped it into pieces. Eleanor is an amazing character. I felt just like her in school, the weird girl who stuck out like a sore thumb no matter how she tried to be invisible. I loved Park as well. The relationship that develops between them, starting off as barely even friendship and turning into first love is sweet, beautifully written and heart-breaking at times. I love things develop between them with Park giving her comic books to read and neither of them really speaking to each other. It’s not all sweet and mushy. Eleanor & Park takes dark tone towards the end as Eleanor discovers just why her step-father is so awful. Eleanor & Park is amazing. I cried and laughed a lot.

there are quite a few 'big' swears including 'f' and 'the bad c' words and some sensitive subjects touched on

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 October 2017

Verified Purchase

I read this prior to giving it to my daughter (it was meant for her). There is a warning on the back about not being suitable for younger readers; there are quite a few 'big' swears including 'f' and 'the bad c' words and some sensitive subjects touched on. However, it is not gratuitous at all and whilst you wouldn't get the swear words on Hollyoaks, they have covered similar sensitive topics before the watershed. I am happy for my 12 year old to read it as she is sensible enough to talk to me about it if she has questions and having both read it we can talk about what we thought. We shed tears over different parts! I found it engaging, as an 80s child some parts were amusing to me that will go over my daughter's head. I think that the touchy subjects that have caused controversy have been raised sensitively; it's a difficult balance to write for a young adult audience and I respect what the author has achieved. I always encourage questions and discussion, I don't wrap my daughter in cotton wool, it will depend on the maturity of each young person as to whether this book is suitable for them but please don't veto it on the basis of the hype.
