Summer Reading Review #4-- Eleanor & Park

8/14/2014

0 Comments

 
I noticed quite a few of my students reading Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell last year so I decided to give it a shot this summer.

Eleanor & Park is built around finding common grounds between people of different backgrounds. It actually reminded me a bit of the 1986 film, Sixteen Candles, but with more of a focus on music and comic books than socio-economic class. It definitely tells a sweet, honest, sometimes painfully truthful tale of teen romance without making the story built on first love and relationships.

I really enjoyed this book, and it ended up breaking my heart a little bit at some points.

Definitely give this one a try!
