Review of 'Eleanor & Park' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I loved this book.

It actually reminds me a lot of Looking for Alaska.. but better.. and darker...

For a book written in 2012, its very odd to have a book written about 1986. At the same time, there is absolutely no way any of this story could be told in an sort of modern setting.

When I started the book last night, I almost skipped over it. I wasn't really in the mood for a love story. I'm so glad I didn't. It was an emotional rollar coaster, and was exactly what I needed.

Not to spoil anything, but I absolutely adore books and movies that leave the ending up to your own interpretation. Its explicit and vague at the same time. I really don't know how to explain it other than I've already come up with a couple possibilities of what the sentence could me. Its awesome.

I would highly recommend this book to others.
