Booking It: eleanor & park


Today I have a book review for you all! 
This is my very first book review, so try to bear with me on this. 

Description:

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. 

My Thoughts:

I really loved this book. It was so honest in everything that was said. The love of Eleanor and Park was so real and funny and awkward and just like first loves should be. Rowell wrote in such a unique way too; I loved how she used both Eleanor and Park's thoughts throughout the whole book, and also how she wrote in third person. I don't see a lot of authors using third person, so it was unique to read. 

My Rating:

I would give Eleanor & Park 5/5 stars. I completely and totally recommend it.

Another thing that I wanted to mention on this post is about this app I use called GoodReads. If you're an avid reader like myself, I would highly recommend this app. 

You can also follow or add me on goodreads as well to keep up with what I'm reading.
