Eleanor & Park meet on the bus. Gradually, over time their meeting blossoms into love.

People have raved about this book. And I'm not going to lie. I don't get it. I mean, it was alright. I "liked" it. But that's about it.

It's actually quite dark, and although you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a YA novel, it's really not appropriate for anyone younger than 18 as it deals with some really hard-hitting issues.

What I did love was the ending and the sentiment of the author's note about why it ended as it did 😍

I'm definitely not saying it's not worth a read, but for me it was an average, middle of the road read.
