Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
Who has a name like "Rainbow"? A super fantastic writer that's who!! I feel like every woman, young girl from Middle school up should read this book. Heck, the boys should read it too! I cried alllll through this book. Girls, women, we all know how it feels to be awkward, new one in an unfamiiar setting, and not know if you will be accepted. I mean, watch "Forrest Gump". The bus scene where Forrest can't find a place to sit? You know the scene? We are all embarassed for him and so thankful for Jenny! Same thing just reverse the sexes, Elearnor is new and can't find a seat, Park tells her to just sit down with him. They are not "instant" friends, takes a little time, but once they are they are inseparable. The story is told from Park's point of view and Eleanor's as well. Eleanor's home life is nothing short of hideous. The facts of how horrible it is has to be pried out of her with a huge crow bar by Park. But, it is totally worth it. Their relationship is sweet and literally saves both of their lives. I think I will start purchasing Eleanor and Park books for young girls, middle aged girls and old women! THEY will all love it! Sad, yes, but uplifting at the same time. Read this book for sure!
