Eleanor & Park...May/June Book

OMG...Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell was such a good book.  It's a story about friendship, trust, domestic abuse, and most importantly LOVE!  Eleanor and Park seem like the two most opposite people, but when they meet, and talk, and laugh together...It's LOVE.  Here is the official summary.....

Bono met his wife in high school, Park says.

So did Jerry Lee Lewis, Eleanor answers.

I’m not kidding, he says.

You should be, she says, we’re 16.

What about Romeo and Juliet?

Shallow, confused, then dead.

I love you, Park says.

Wherefore art thou, Eleanor answers.

I’m not kidding, he says.

You should be.

Set over the course of one school year in 1986, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits—smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you’ll remember your own first love—and just how hard it pulled you under.

This book is winning so many publishing and literary awards.  It's on the BEST of 2014 Book Awards from the American Library Association.  Teens across the country are loving it.    Since I was high school in the 80's ....all the music and clothing references really made me laugh and think back to my high school days.  What I liked most was how sweetly Eleanor and Park both described each other when the other wasn't around.  Beyond CUTE!
