#17 Eleanor and Park.

Hello World, 

Another book review from another book that I would never really would read. 

I had once read another Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl. Oh, boy I enjoyed, but also really hated that book. I was so envious of the characters and their relationship. I was also envious of these two characters relationship in Eleanor and Park.

Eleanor and Park are two characters who fall for each other during their school year. Their first encounter was on a school bus, it slowly built from a friendship to something more than a friendship. Eleanor comes from a home with an abusive step-dad and a mum to blind to see. Park comes from a home with an controlling dad and but a completely loving household. The months progress and something happens to Eleanor home that causes her to leave town. This becomes the end of Eleanor and Park.

Rainbow Rowel captures the whole young first love in sweet detail. If anyone remembers their first love and how you felt, I can feel assured that you felt and related to the characters in the book. Doing something so little to make the other feel accepted and happy. 

This book is such a light hearted read and captures you on the first page. 

Claire.
