The book I recently finished is called 'Eleanor and Park' By Rainbow Rowell. I read this so quickly (which i usually say when a book is good enough to make an appearance on this blog) as it was so gripping.
It's a love story. This book is about a Asian boy, and a girl who sticks out for being "different", who fall in love.
It all starts when they meet on the bus and she starts reading his comics.
Slowly but surely, they fall in love.
There relationship isn't easy to say the least as they both have valid reasons to keep their relationship a secret.
Eleanor comes from a broken home, with a abusive stepfather. She has to keep her relationship with Park a secret, or the consequences would be dangerous and end up with getting kicked out of her home.
Park doesn't want to be teased at school about being with Eleanor. Eleanor is very different and doesn't really fit in with the crowd and is constantly picked on and bullied. Park doesn't want to get bullied as well for being with Eleanor but doesn't want her to know that he is embarrassed to be with her.
I really liked this book, as there relationship was so detailed and so thoroughly built up, which made it so much easier to believe the relationship and makes it more real and not just a book.
This book doesn't have a strong story line, but really builds up thier charecter. I would really reccomend this book, and it's not really the typical love story.
I hope you enjoyed this blog, and as always let me know what you think about it if you had read it and leave me any reccomendations!
Love you guys,
