Eleanor & Park is a very sweet love story that was at times heartaching. Eleanor meets Park on the bus going to her first day at a new school. Park is the only one who will let her sit next to him on the bus. What starts out as an awkward ride twice a day slowly builds to a relationship.It was sweet and innocent and natural feeling. There was nothing flashy, it just felt like it was supposed to happen in the way it did. I liked how Rowell started the book on the bus as the main focus of interaction between the two. Then slowly expanded that out to emcompass other areas of their lives. 
 I don't want to say too much about the book becuase it's one of those books that should be read without a lot of plot knowledge beforehand. It may ruin the journey. I will say that I wasn't so sure about the path the Rowell took towards the end. But after thinking about it, it's what needed to happen in order to solidify the relationship between Eleanor & Park. 
 I would definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to read a sweet romance. I've also read Rainbow Rowell's other bookAttachments which was also very good and I look forward to reading other books by her as well.
