Eleanor & Park book review

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Eleanor & Park was the perfect read for the month of February. Rowell is able to explore falling in love for the first time so subtly, yet so thoroughly. Reading through Eleanor and Park's story transported me back to the time I was young and exploring the idea and feeling of love for the first time, and brought back a barrage of memories and emotions I'd long since forgotten.

The characters are so well-developed, and the plot is so engrossing you are swept away into 1980s Omaha without even realizing it. I see why this is a beloved book by many, and I regret having waited so long to read it. I feel this book is relatable for just about everyone that is 13+, and suggest if you're looking for a read that touches the darkest recesses of your heart to check it out.
