So...hmm...okay....
This book, this book. When I first opened the pages I got so extremely excited for it. And I knew right away I was going to very enjoy it.
As we continued on I had to pause at many many different moments, pausing to reflect on the words I just read, pausing to soak it all in, pausing to smile.
But then something happened, something wasn't the same. My feelings of "oh I so need to pick up my own copy" (as this is a library book) started to subside. Don't get me wrong I still to ...more

A sweet, quirky book. I really liked Eleanor and Park a lot.
There were so many layers to this book that kept it from being a typical YA love story. I loved how the author used Romeo and Juliet as a running theme.
This counts as a book set in high school for the 2015 PopSugar Reading Challenge.
18/52
