While Eleanor has her doubts, Park makes it work. This persistence speaks volumes about his personality. However, after years of trying, Park eventually just comes into himself whether his father likes it or not. While Park has a much more stable family life, he constantly struggles for the approval of his father. She is made to have quite a sceptical personality but deep down she knows what she wants and that she does truly love Park. Eleanor’s family life causes her to become somewhat of an introvert, but her true character always shines through.

Their new stepfather is a beast who will stop at nothing to get rid of them one by one.

Once their barrier of silence is broken, the spark of love lights and two imperfect people manage to find solace with each other.īoth characters were so unique and well written that you feel personally intertwined within their story. The two awkwardly sit together never speaking, until they come to the conclusion that they share a common interest in comics and good music. Park is the quiet Asian boy who does everything in his power to avoid bringing attention to himself: until Eleanor walks onto the bus. In the novel, Eleanor is the new girl, with the crazy red hair and the strange clothes. The concept of love in this story is beautiful and it is different from the usual physically appealing and attraction concept that most books follow for a love story. This novel feels like a punch in the face of YA realism with its unconventional leads and story. They aren’t the overly glamorous, sexy, or overrated high schools teens, but they are instead awkward and uncomfortable in their own skin kind of teens. Eleanor and Park doesn’t feature a typical high school romance as the novel introduces to you to two eponymous outcast teens.
