Not when Park’s dad is worried about him being too much like a girl.īut Eleanor and Park? They get through it together. Not when people still bully Eleanor at school. Not when Eleanor’s abusive step-dad is in the picture. Then it was introducing Eleanor to the world of music Park created for himself.Īnd then the relationship reaches its zenith where everything is warm and fuzzy and great in the world. Then it was borrowing comics, followed by them being returned in pristine condition.
'”īut as they continue to encounter each other in English class and on their rides to the bus stop and school, their relationship progresses into something… more.Īt first it was eavesreading Park’s comics.
‘Jesus-fuck,’ Park said softly, nodding to the space next to him, ‘just sit down. The girl turned to him, like she couldn’t tell whether he was another jerk or what. How sweet and gallant.īut it’s not that romantic, considering the way he did it. On the bus it’s not different… until Park reluctantly scoots over and shares his seat with her. Throughout her time in high school she is teased and bullied because of her looks. Day one of her new school, and Eleanor is having a heck of a day. The two meet each other on the bus… like in the first picture in the cover of the book. (Not sure if he’s a DC or Marvel fan since he reads both.) He’s a really quiet kinda guy (typical Asian), and buries his mind behind lots of comics and music. Park is half Korean and half Irish, which makes him quite conflicted. Park, on the other hand, grew up surrounded by love in his family, although he has his own issues. Her mother has way too many problems going on to be really involved in her life, including being submissive to Eleanor’s evil stepfather, Richie. I thought my family was dysfunctional, but this girl has it tough. (but pretty much all the fan art for these characters are amazing anyway so)Īnyway, I’m pretty sure I showed it to all my friends when I was reading it at school.Įleanor is a slightly chubby redhead who comes from a large, dysfunctional family. I got the Exclusive Collector’s Edition of this book from B&N, and the fan art in the inner cover is so beautiful!! Woo lookee here: This book is going to be a movie and I cannot wait. Set over the course of one school year, this is the story of two star-crossed sixteen-year-olds-smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. There’s a place on his chest, just below his throat, that makes her want to keep promises…Park. He laughs at her jokes before she ever gets to the punch line. Park… He knows she’ll love a song before he plays it for her. Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good enough…Eleanor. Standing behind him until he turns his head.
