It was wonderful and horrible and everything in-between and above. 
 An absolute onslaught of feelings and thoughts about this lovely book. 
 Eleanor and Park surprised me, having read Fangirl and Carry on I knew I was in for a great book and this just solidified my love for Rainbow Rowell as an Author. She isn't afraid to tell it like it is and take control of her story. 
 E&P is about teenage beginnings and ends, falling in love and what love looks like, what Divorce, multi cultural relationships and abusive relationships look like and how they can affect those around them, how overcoming those awkward teenage days can be hard but rewarding. 
 I see that there is lots of different feelings on the ending but I loved it, it shocked me it made me feel mad, sad, hopeful and happy. 
 (view spoiler)[This was just the beginning of Eleanor's story and it couldn't end here. 
 When this ended I was shocked! After reading Fangirl and Carry on I was expecting a happy ending and I felt I knew it would end as a feel good and on a high note not that it didn't. 
 There is a Q&A in the back of my book where Rainbow answered some questions on why she won't tell anyone what the 3 words were and I respect her decision. 
 I don't want to know what the words are now, I like thinking it was I love you and I don't want to be told otherwise. 
 Eleanor is young and just got away from a destructive step-dad and bad situation, she needed time to figure herself out make some friends and learn to love herself without Park. 
 Park needed to connect with his friends again and branch out a bit and of course grow into himself. I have hope they will find each other in the future and re connect but until then this story was still beautiful and I love my little ending I created myself :) (hide spoiler)] 
 I highly recommend this book and commend Rainbow on yet another 5 star book and on the ending.
