Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

I fell in love with Eleanor & Park within the first three pages. Like many of the reviews state, don't let the cute cover fool you. Let's begin with Eleanor... an emotionally ( to say the least) abused girl who wears men's clothing and has just moved to a new school. And Park, a Korean-American who comes from a great family but doesn't fit in with the neighborhood kids either. They meet and their love for one another makes you want to cry and play songs by The Cure all day. They try to beat the odds but Eleanor's self-sabotaging ways get the best of them at times, yet Park tries to find a way to save her happiness in many ways throughout the book.
I highly recommend this book for all Y.A collections and teens who are looking for something different to read.
Enjoy!
