What a way to start the year! An easy five stars!
This book is told in the dual perspectives of Park, a quiet boy who just wants to read his comics in peace, and Eleanor, the new girl at school whose eccentric dress and larger frame make her the perfect target for bullies. They meet when Eleanor sits next to Park on the school bus and the most realistic progression from strangers to love interests I have ever read unfolds.
Eleanor has a very difficult home life and finds solace in Park's company and the seemingly perfectness of his family. This story is about acceptance and the inevitability that first loves are doomed to fail.
This book broke my heart in the most uplifting way imaginable. Definitely recommend to anyone who likes harder hitting young adult.
