Eleanor and Park
Kaylene Fatu
I have recently finished reading a lovable book by Rainbow Rowell called Eleanor and Park. This novel is an intelligent, comedic, romantic, and emotional book that had me in a mess of tissues and tears by the end of it.
Eleanor is the new girl in town and tries to blend as much as she can but Park can’t help but notice her because of her unique fashion choice and appearance . Their friendship starts off bad but eventually they start a relationship like no other.
In this novel the characters have a lot of emotional obstacles to face, for example someone is bullying Eleanor and for their relationship to expand Park needs to get over being embarrassed. There are many more obstacles they face together as their relationship is put to the test.
The character each evolve in a positive way . Eleanor becomes more confident, has more friends and more honest to herself and others. Park realises his true-self, becomes courageous and stars not caring about what others think about him.
I have learned a few lessons from that novel; ‘What is going on behind the scene’ basically means though some people may seem like they have it all together when really their life is completely falling apart. Another example is ‘Don’t judge a book by it’s cover’ at first someone might seem scary when really inside they are kind and harmless people.
This book had changed my perspective on most things and taught me valuable lessons. I recommend this book for those who want a laugh or to cry or perhaps both. This book will definitely stay in my top books list.
