I got Eleanor
& Park out of the library as a result of reading a review on Borough of Books. On the face of it I wasn't sure it would be
for me but I needn't have worried. The
book is unusual for me in that it is about 2 teenagers.
But a big thank you to the reviewer – I absolutely
agree this book just grabs your attention and you have to read it as quickly as
you can.
Both characters are strongly drawn – and you are simply
riveted by Eleanor and how she copes with her dire home situation.
This book may be classified as YA but it deserves to be
read outside that genre. Enjoy it!
PS There is a little non graphic sexual content – none
of it gratuitous
Oooo, nice!! I have yet to read anything by Rainbow Rowell, but have several of her novels on my reading wishlist.

ReplyDeleteI normally do not read YA.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your thoughts. I may need to check it out.
