Rainbow Rowell doesn’t glamour her characters with the Prince Charming looks and I like that about her. I tend to take sides between the couple but since I sat behind the thoughts of these two, I loved one just as much as the other. I’m glad RR seems to be a master of this technique. I don’t mind reading from multiple outlooks because eccentric stances can sometimes be too ordinary and annoying. Good thing, none of that happened to me in reading this book.Įleanor and Park was told in two perspectives. Sometimes, she writes way too extensively about a person’s thoughts, that it can get a little dreary. Personally, plunging into her storyland wasn’t as easy an adventure as Jenny Han’s or Cassandra Clare’s. Rainbow Rowell’s writing, for me, was either a miss or hit and E&P is, I’m glad, one of the latter. I’ve read Fangirl, Landline, and Attachments (though I never got to the finish of that) and this is my favorite. Set over the course of one school year, this is the story of two star-crossed sixteen-year-olds-smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try.Įleanor and Park is my first of Rainbow Rowell’s. There’s a place on his chest, just below his throat, that makes her want to keep promises…Park. He laughs at her jokes before she ever gets to the punch line. Park… He knows she’ll love a song before he plays it for her.
Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good enough…Eleanor. Standing behind him until he turns his head. SYNOPSIS (from Goodread s ): Eleanor… Red hair, wrong clothes. She looked like art, and art wasn’t supposed to look nice it was supposed to make you feel something.
