Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell





A book review by Madeline Soucie






Taking place in the '80s, Eleanor & Park is about two high school students who both stand out and as a result become an unlikely couple. It's a sweet story.
     
Eleanor's new to the high school. She's big and has crazy, unruly red hair. Plus she doesn't try to fit in -- she dresses outside the norm.
     
Park is Asian and isn't quite at the bottom of the social ladder where he gets picked on so survives when others are targeted instead of him.
     
When Eleanor needs a seat on the bus and the only one available is Park's, the two will slowly bond over comic books and music and come  to share a love story neither thought they'd be able to have.
