Publisher Description

Rainbow Rowell's timeless #1 New York Times Bestseller, now in paperback for the very first time.

Bono met his wife in high school, Park says.

So did Jerry Lee Lewis, Eleanor answers.

I'm not kidding, he says.

You should be, she says, we're 16.

What about Romeo and Juliet?

Shallow, confused, then dead.

I love you, Park says.

Wherefore art thou, Eleanor answers.

I'm not kidding, he says.

You should be.

Set over the course of one school year in 1986, this is the story of two star-crossed

misfits-smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate

enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you'll remember your own first love—and just

how hard it pulled you under.

"Touchingly sweet and totally heartbreaking, with tonnes of retro pop culture references thrown in. This book isn't exactly light and fluffy with a HEA ending, but it definitely manages to walk a fine line between fun and serious, and is ultimately uplifting in spite of all its everyday horrors."

— Lois (4 out of 5 stars)

    " Totally addicting -- could hardly let it out of my sight till I finished it. My coworker, Jeanie, just keeps repeating how incredibly sweet Park is, and it's true -- he's got to be the nicest boy ever. Such a pleasure read! "

    " I'm done! I' m gonna miss Eleanor and Park. The characters really connected with me that I wish it won't have to end. I demand a book 2! This one I'm gonna add to my top 5 favorite books. The type of book that I would probably read again and again!:-) "

    " This was an amazing book about a first love. It was smart, sweet, gritty, foulmouthed and everything in between. I highly recommend this book for anyone who needs a good story about two very different people and how they fall in love. "

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " This book is fantastic. As soon as I finished reading it the other day, I opened up to the first page and started again. It's a real book about going to high school and love and what it all (maybe) means. "

    " I really enjoyed it. I almost gave it five stars. The thing is, the writer used the term (I'm not calling it a word) "pervy". You ask why drop it a star for that? Well my maiden name is Purvee, pronounced the same way. Yep. "
