Hello everybody! I hope this finds you well!
I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. It's been crazy since the new year started, because only my school has finals in the middle of January. Anyway, back to reviewing! These next few posts are continuing on my December book reviews that I haven't posted yet. So here we go!
Eleanor and Park is a contemporary novel about Eleanor, a young girl who comes from a family with an abusive step-father and three other children. The boy, Park, comes from a family with Ph.D's for parents. On Eleanor's first day at her new school, she gets on the bus to find no one will let her sit with them. Until she reaches the back of the bus, and Park. As the days progress, Park notices Eleanor reading his comic books over his shoulder. Park starts to bring Eleanor comic books and their story progresses from there.
While this book was excellent, I found that I didn't love it as much as I expected to. I think that the reason behind this was all of the 1980's references. I was born in the late 1990's, so the references flew right over my head. I gave Eleanor and Park 4 out of 5 stars.
