Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell Book Summary

#1 New York Times Best Seller!

"Eleanor & Park reminded me not just what it's like to be young and in love with a girl, but also what it's like to be young and in love with a book."-John Green, The New York Times Book Review
Bono met his wife in high school, Park says.
So did Jerry Lee Lewis, Eleanor answers.
I'm not kidding, he says.
You should be, she says, we're 16.
What about Romeo and Juliet?
Shallow, confused, then dead.
I love you, Park says.
Wherefore art thou, Eleanor answers.
I'm not kidding, he says.
You should be.
Set over the course of one school year in 1986, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits-smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you'll remember your own first love-and just how hard it pulled you under.

LOVED IT. This book is very sad and thatā€™s one of the reasons why i couldnā€™t put it down! I loved the ending of the book and the different backgrounds each character has, definitely read this book!

This is amazing. Ok rainbow Rowell out did her self on this. Thank you rainbow Rowell!!ā¤ļø

Best Book I've Read in A While. This book is so relatable, it takes you back to your first love and makes you feel all of the raw emotions that the characters portray. I found myself craving for a sequel to this lovely story. Too bad the author feels that writing a sequel would make this story overflow. All in all great book I recommend it to anyone!

ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø. Ok.....maybe I'm sappy, but I loved this book!!! I loved Eleanor, Park, and his parents! Of course I hated her mom and step dad! Praises for Eleanor and Park! Will definitely recommend this book.

Book. Beautiful

Loved it. But God the ending hurts

Great Story. I read it in one day. Couldnā€™t put it down! Beware of a bit of colorful language sprinkled in. I like how the author really dug into Parkā€™s self awareness and identity as Korean-American and what that meant socially. I like the depth of the characters and the rich storytelling. Happy to have stumbled upon this book.

Such an amazing, beautiful book. I promise you won't regret reading this. I'm very picky and couldn't put it down. I missed out on a teenage love and this gave me a really accurate idea of what it would be like had I gotten the change to experience it . It's an Absolutely beautiful story.

Love. Great book

Wondeful!. I finished this book in two sittings! Even the ending got to me, love love love!

Awesome book!!. Awesome book. I absolutely love it and wish there was a second one

A bittersweet romance.. Eleanor & Park has been a favorite of mine since high school English class. I fell in love with the book and couldnā€™t help myself from reading ahead. I donā€™t normally review things, but this book is worth it. Itā€™s cute, and witty. But also heartbreaking and gut wrenching at times. I so badly wished they wouldā€™ve wrote a sequel, but sometimes itā€™s best to leave things as they are. The book does use crude language so if youā€™re not into that sort of thing then I would steer clear of it.

A book like none other. And elephants.. I read this in one day because I couldnā€™t stop. Love friendship school and evil. And good.

šŸ’–. loved it more than i can even express.

A good read. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø

A book that makes you feel. Itā€™s so good. Itā€™s so sad. Itā€™s so captivating and beautiful. I loved it. Rainbow, you completely nailed how to describe a first love.

Great book. This book was truly amazing. I couldn't stop reading. The characters, The story it was all great. Definitely a five star rating!

Definitely NO!!. I purchased this book and I really regret it! The first page in chapter one has horrible language which I canā€™t stand!! I will not read it any further! I wish I hadnā€™t purchased it!!

Best YA ever. By far the best YA novel I've ever read. Instantly engaging and never too awkward (like Looking for Alaska was, for me). Rowell's language is always beautiful and evocative. How she describes emotions with concrete phrases is so perfect. She captures the thrill of first love deliciously. I can barely remember what it felt like to fall for someone in high school but this book made me want to do it again. For a minute I worried that Rowell would resort to the cheap tricks that NA authors use, but I should have known I can trust her (I read Fangirl first!). I can. I did, and I'm so glad. Excellent book.

Amazing dialogue. If you like conflict and love all at once, please get this book.

<3. Honestly was a great book. I wish it wouldā€™ve been longer, it only took me a week to read :( And definitely wished for a different ending. If I could read it all over again I would

A book to reread again and again. I read this book for the first time when I was a few years younger than Eleanor and Park. I loved it then and still canā€™t get enough of it now. This book is so sweet and so heartbreaking. Now in my 20s I am just as captivated by the book as I was the first time. This is one of the few books Iā€™ve read again and again.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!. I loved this book so much. i had to read it for a project for school and i hate reading books in general, but i read this book in about 3 days.

This book is amazing. I loved this book so much and the ending has me in tears

Literally omg. Best book ever tbh

Eleanor and Park. Great read! I couldnā€™t put it down. The only thing is that it leaves you with some unanswered questions.

šŸ’Æ. I recommend!!!

Amazing. I wish I could give this book six stars. This novel is so romantic and so interesting that I just couldnā€™t put it down. A great young adult book that everyone who likes John Green would also love.

I LOVE IT. This book was so good 10/10

I love this book!. I seriously am such a fan of this book! I was hooked the entire way through! The characters were so relatable! However, I found myself so mad with the ending of the book! I mean donā€™t get me wrong it was a great ending!! But to end it there just made me hunger for more!

Wonderful!. This book was so good I was sad when it ended. I loved this book and cannot praise it highly enough! ā¤ļø ā¤ļø ā¤ļø

Love Hate. This book was beautiful it was slow and steady nothing to bold or just censored it was just right I definitely recommend to other romance readers it was bitter sweet love it was the popular falling for the social bottom they were a perfect match and their love was so ooo but I was annoying to see how slow it was and cute and I also cried because I was jealous of their love for each other the end was really infuriating but interesting and if you are really emotional donā€™t read it because it was a lot and I have some what of a tear dam built into me and I almost never cry and Iā€™m in middle school so yeah really good book a definite recommendation

Hmm. Iā€™m still not sure how I feel about this book. It captured young love perfectly and beautifully yet it was so sad. A book that just left me feeling depressed afterward.

must read. this book has given me the gift of seeing what true love really is.

Amazing. ā¤ļø

Offensive to BIPOCs.. It describes a main character (half Korean and half white) in stereotypical terms which are offensive. The character never grows from this but rather hates everything to do with his Korean attributes (not his actual heritage because that would mean researching things). Itā€™s very problematic in how it describes minor black characters as well. This is why we need ā€œin their own voicesā€ in publishing.

Soft top. The Isuzu 1916 the later CapriOdin .

all time favorite romance novel. extremely captivating and a beautiful, yet realistic. amazing characters and very well-written. i love this book with all my heart. i highly recommend.

Unique and sweet. This book made me look at love in a new way. I read it in a day and a half and I still think about it two months later. Why are you still reading this review? GO READ THE BOOK!!

Breathtaking and real.. I don't know where to begin. I haven't read a book straight through the night in years. Eleanor & Park awakened something inside me that had been so long dormant, I wasn't certain it was even there anymore. It was so... Poignant. The sharp intensity that it was written with... I almost have no words. Suffice to say that it took me back to what it was like to feel true love. The rush was there all around me again, the feeling in my chest. I never knew a book could really do that.

I just can't. This book was more beautiful than Park. And that's saying a lot.

adorable. This book is a rollercoaster ride of emotions with an adorable ending after all of the pain.

Young Love. It was an incredibly heart warming story. If you're into the young adult type of love story, then this is definitely the novel for you. It has your typical unordinary couple whom falls in love without meaning to, the obstacles, the mean girls, and even a little twist at the end. What caught me was the rising effect it had on me. At first I read it slowly, but as I kept going it got to me. That ending by the way will make you want to die, it was a great read overall.

Awesome read. One read, and I have not forgotten about this book since it came out.

Eleanor & Park. Sweet and thoughtful love story that is an easy, fun read.

Absolutely Not!!!. I stopped at chapter 8 when I realized how racist this book is. Absolutely not!!! I canā€™t even finish this filth!

AMAZING BOOK!. I have never been big into reading but i fell in love with this book, the ending even had me crying.

Non stop read. I bought this book at 9pm. It is now 2 am and through the happy tears I can say that I love this book. At 20 years old I can directly relate to this book in so many ways. This is hands down one of the best reads of my life and I will forever cherish this book. To the author, I say thank you.

Best Love Story. I love a good love story and this one has it. This was an unpredictable, suspenseful, heart pounding love story that I could not put down, I wish there were more books like this.

Everything previous reviews said it would be. Crazy good book....

Eleanor & park. 0ne of my favourite books

Perfect. I Honestly Loved This Book So So Much. I Couldn't Put It Down

Love it!!!. OMG!!! I loved it sooo much!!!! šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜ I especially liked the part where Eleanor and Park were at his alone house and you know what happened there. ;) The only down side this book had was that it had "the f word" in the first page. I also liked how the author ended the book. When Eleanor wrote three words on the post card and it was obviously "I love you". But I wished that there was an epilogue. But otherwise I still LOVED it!!!! šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜

What a great book!. This book made me laugh, cry and feel butterlies in my stomach at the same time. Rowell made a really good book for a romance reader like me! I recommend this 10/10!

Perfect.. This book is one of my all time favourites. Everything about it is absolutely perfect.

Captivating. Iā€™m 14 and I read a lot of books. And I mean a lot. But this book takes you into the world of two teens and really captures it well. Amazing book.

What a great book!. Great story. Interesting from start to finish. Well written. Writerā€™s style was very readable. Highly recommended šŸ˜‰

Eleanor and Park. This book was well written and has to be the cutest thing I have ever read.

Amazing!. This novel got me hooked in minutes and I chose the worst time to start reading it due to exams but it was so good I could NOT put it down. Highly recommend this novel to anyyone like likes a good romance and humour.

Absolutely amazing!!!. Never thought a book could make me cry. And I'm a dude! Definitely one of the best stories I've ever read! Love is great!

Amazing. I read this book in grade 9 and I loved it.

This book destroyed me.. This is a great book if you're a fan of your heart being ripped out and smashed into a million little pieces while you cry in bed.

AMAZING!!!. I love books that make my heart flutter. This book did that from beginning to end. LOVE IT!!

Recommend!. I really enjoyed this book. I couldn't put it down yet I didn't want it to end. I can't say enough good about this book and I am so glad I read it. Highly recommend!
