"Eleanor & Park"

"Eleanor & Park" by Rainbow Rowell
Published by St. Martin's Press
I read the hardcover edition - finished 1/13/15


4/5 stars
I truly enjoyed this YA novel - a love story between 2 teenagers finding their true inner-selves. It gave you a look into the lives of those being bullied, but not your typical "I will overcome it" kind of story. More of an acceptance of it and getting through life in spite of it. I wanted a different ending, but that just would have been sappy and so unlike Eleanor and Park. They are far from a sappy couple so I guess it ended how it should have.
