Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell



336 pages

Eleanor is weird.  Wild red hair, strange clothing, overweight and bullied at home and school.  Park is half-Korean and sticks out in his Omaha neighborhood.  He spends each day trying to fly under the radar, until he meets Eleanor.   A beautiful , original (yet universal), and heartbreaking love story.  

My favorite summation of the book was written by the genius writer John Green: 
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
