Eleanor & Park - Rainbow Rowell

I was thinking of writing that I'm heart-broken, but I guess there is so much hope packed with the misery in this book, I should say I'm heart-bruised. And feeling quite nostalgic. Taking out the romantic aspect, I had a couple of very loyal Ellanors in my teenage years and I can only wish now I had been as awesome as Park.

 

Two comments: Park's parents' reactions was so spot on.  I was immediately brought back to some chats I had with my own folks.

And: That teacher in the gym lockers was a bitch.

 

Bonus: Three words.
