Reminded me not just what its like to be young and in love but what its 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 shes never felt more alone. All mismatched clothes mad red hair and chaotic home life she couldnt stick out more if she tried. Then she takes the seat on the bus next to Park. Quiet careful and - in Eleanors eyes - impossibly cool Parks 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 youre 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.
