REVIEW: Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

Hello Everyone,

It's time for another review! I recently wrote a review on the novel Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell (read that review here) and you guys really seemed to like it! So today, I've decided to review another Rainbow Rowell novel that I'm sure you know and one that I absolutely love. This book was by far one of my favourite books of 2014. The characters are so real, relatable and beautifully portrayed. The plot is so amazing and really portrays a real life situation perfectly.

Title: Eleanor & Park
Author: Rainbow Rowell 
Publisher: Orion
ISBN: 9781409157250

Brief Synopsis:

Rating: 5/5

This book is about a girl named Eleanor and a boy named Park. Eleanor has just arrived in town and she really stands out with her curly red hair, strange outfits and her dysfunctional family. Park on the other hand, dressed in black, headphones on and his nose in a book. He thinks that he has made himself invisible to everyone around him. But one person breaks through his field of invisibility... Eleanor. Slowly but surely, Eleanor and Park begin to fall for one another. This book is beautiful, it made me laugh out loud, cry hysterical tears and made my heart swell with love for these characters that I will always keep close to my heart. A-m-a-z-i-n-g!!

This book is beautifully written and deals with themes such as not fitting in, depression, dysfunctional families and falling in love for the first time.

This book received praise from other authors who you probably know and that I absolutely adore:

John Green said  that is reminded him 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.

Stephanie Perkins said that this book is a breathless and achingly good read about love and outsiders.

I recommend this book to every single person reading this and if you haven't already read it then why are you still reading this post? Get to a bookstore a pick this beautiful book up.

Have you read Eleanor & Park?
