Eleanor & Park | 
pickWow, I loved this book! I had been wanting to read it for years, and it totally lived up to my expectations. The characters are amazing and the story made me weep. Loved it!
Nothing like starting the fire pit from scratch to make some coffee😅also perfect time to get some reading in! #camping #outdoorreading #naturetbr
We finally got all situated and unpacked just before sundown😅💀 now to enjoy some morning reading while the bf sleeps; whenever I‘m camping I always wake up with the sun, regardless if I‘ve had enough sleep or not🤷🏻♀️🏕📖 #vacation #camping #outdoorreading
pickThis story gave me all the nostalgic first love feelings! My heart physically ached during parts - a sign of great character development in my opinion! I will forever love Eleanor, Park, and their love. I‘ve heard that a lot of people disliked the ending, but personally, I appreciated it. Open-ended. Hopeful.

@Jee_HookedOnBookz my sincere apologies for this late post and late opening of your truly amazing gifts! I've been very ill with phemonia and a "lung virus" for the last couple of weeks or so. I'm finally home (as of today) and on the mend, super stoked to be among the living ?
Your homemade book for me has made me cry, laugh out loud and just made my recovery! I'm speaking complete and total truth here. THANK YOU...TBC

pickThis book kind of makes you believe in love again...mushy...sweet...fierce...high school weirdness. Probably one of my top picks of the year!!! Not to mention the rockin' awesome playlist throughout.
This book brought me back to high school.
Two very different teens meet and build their relationship on their shared loved for music and comics. I wasn't expecting to care about the characters. And I loved the pop culture references of the 80s music. I found the story to be adorable and heartbreaking.

pickHonestly, loved how real this book was. It showed that not every household is amazing and what young love is really like.
Stop want your doing!!!!! Eleanor and Park is being made into a movie and Rainbow Rowell is writing the script and is executive producer!!!!! 😱😱😱😱

VERY EXCITING NEWS DESERVING OF A POST IN ALL CAPS!!! (Love this book and can‘t wait to see it on the big screen!)
The book has some racial microaggressions, but the writing is good and the emotions are good.

Thanks @TheReadingMermaid & @Andrew65 for hosting!
pickI‘m a sucker for YA romance novels, so I enjoyed this a lot. But that ending… More in the spoiler comment below👇
so-so3/5 Stars
The beginning and middle were captivating. Such a beautiful book about love and a lot of cute moments and quotes. One knows how it ends so the whole time reading...howww does it get there? However, the ending seemed abrupt. After all the build up, THAT is how it ends? It barely seemed like a resolution and just not well thought out. I expected more for the end. Aside from that, 👍🏼.

pick4/5 stars. I enjoyed this book a lot. I loved the 80‘s setting and the plus-sized representation. I went into this book thinking it was going to be a great quirky love story, and ended up being a lot heavier than expected. Warning that there is some spousal abuse, verbal abuse and school bullying and it might be difficult to read for some people. It was also not the ending i expected or wanted.
pick@cjbooklover and I will have to agree to disagree on this one! I thought this was a nice story about two teens and how their relationship develops. I laughed aloud several times and thought the ending was hopeful, if not exactly what I‘d hoped for. Google misled me. Neither teen was a musician, but they did make cassette tapes of music mixes for each other, so we‘re counting it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
A book that features a musician - #Booked2019
Next up. Google mentioned a musician??? #Booked2019 @cjbooklover just finished it and is livid, but we can‘t discuss it because I haven‘t read it yet and don‘t want spoilers. This will be interesting! 🤣📚 #raisingreaders #family
panThis ending made me mad. So mad that I deleted the book as soon as I could because it was defiling my kindle. The best part about this book is that it captures the awkwardness of teen romance. I did not appreciate the ending or more intimate scenes. I am also dissatisfied with how we never found out if her family was okay. Also her stepdad was abusive and a total jerk. The ending was just anticlimactic for me. #unpopularopinion
I'm not even 1/3 of the way done with this book. But I swear, if Richie hurts her or she dies and leaves Park forever, I'll reach through the pages and strangle him (Richie, that is. Park's a cinnamon roll of a human).
I'm super late to the party on this one. It's been sitting on my bookshelf since it came out 3 years ago. The B&N Special Edition has some stunning cover art, as well. Hopefully the story lives up to the artwork!
pickI really should have gone to sleep last night but I found myself swept up in the story of two misfits who find one of the more realistic depictions of young love that I‘ve ever experienced.
Eleanor is the oldest daughter to a mom who chooses a craptacular man over the kids.
Park struggles to figure out who he is when he can‘t live up to his fathers hypermasculine identity.
They fall in love slowly and honestly.
The hype was earned.
Time to get some housework done and find out what all the hubbub is about. #audiobooks #readinglife
1. Eleanor and Park
2. Never. Im in bed most of the day. But I never made it when I worked.

pickHighly recommend. A story of teenage love at its most basic level. Eleanor is from a dysfunctional family. Paul helps her and becomes a lifeline. Loved this book!
pickThe good, the bad. The happy. The sad. So many emotions while listening to this book. So much they was implied. One day, I hope they reconnect. This book was my first Rainbow Rowell book a few years ago, and then I read her complete backlist. Patiently waiting for her next novel
pickThis was such a good read! I love when stories are told by different characters so this was great! The book brought me back to my teenage years when I had my first car and my first real boyfriend. 💕
pickGod !! This book was my first love . Reading this book made me smile and giggle. Sometimes I will be like AWW😍 whereas in the ending , sobbed 😢 my eye balls out . Except for the ending. I love each and every thing in this book!!!
This is the kind of book I‘ve been dying to listen too! @Rbabyblue I‘ve been flying through it, have you been reading it?
Can‘t wait to finally read Eleanor and Park!
•Have you read Eleanor and Park? If so how was it?
