» PLOT «
Eleanor and Park become unusual friends after sitting on the bus together. And as their semi-friendship develops, it ramps up to an unlikely romance. Though they might love each other, they both know it won't last. They both know that the world is tearing them apart.
That Andy Dwyer shocked gif was my reaction at the end of this book. I love it.
» READABILITY «
The beginning was slow, but it soon sped up and I could not stop listening to the audiobook.
» CHARACTERS «
Unlike [b:Chasing Lucky|52386214|Chasing Lucky|Jenn Bennett|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1580054681l/52386214._SY75_.jpg|71431969], which I just read, I actually like the characters in this book. The main characters were relatable and so adorable. Not much development went into the non-main characters, but overall not bad.
» WRITING «
Average writing, nothing fantastic or bad.
» OVERALL «
Part of me wanted a happy ending, the other part was happy at the way this book ended.
