i liked the love story in this book. although i'm not sure about the unanswered questions that we get at the end. i understand why rainbow rowell has put them there but still the ending and climax was a bit unclear for me. i enjoyed how he started their relationship. i love these types of contemporary book that dig deep into real life issues. to be honest i had no clue about what the climax would be about. i assumed it would be just the step-father going overboard but not that much. it really does make me wonder about how the step-father became who he is today. i loved how close eleanor and park got, it was very touching and how 'it only matters on what in the inside'. i loved how we saw the social pressures on both of them and how well they coped with it. my favourite part would have to be when park started to lend the comics to eleanor. overall i loved this book but i could have used an epilogue just to clarify somethings
