Review For Eleanor & Pa

                                                               

                                          Synopsis

Two misfits.
One extraordinary love.

Eleanor... Red hair, wrong clothes. Standing behind him until he turns his head. Lying beside him until he wakes up. Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good enough...Eleanor.

Park... He knows she'll love a song before he plays it for her. He laughs at her jokes before she ever gets to the punch line. There's a place on his chest, just below his throat, that makes her want to keep promises...Park.

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.

Review

I was REALLY excited to read this book seeing all the good reviews. Well I did not like this book at all. I REALLY wanted to like this book but I could not. Everything happened so fast.. Eleanor and Park hated each other and then in a blink of an eye, they love each other. Did I miss something???? The only thing they had in common was the comic books. They didn't know each other at all. 

I did not get their love story. I was so confused and everything about it was weird. Also, the bullying and abuse going on. Everything about it was uncomfortable for me to read. Her mom..... Poor excuse for a mother. Why would she stay with someone who would treat her kids that way?? Why would she let him kick Eleanor out of her house?!?! That pissed me off so much. The only good thing that came out of this book was Eleanor moving to her Uncle's house. 

Overall this book was alright.
