אלינור ופארק

I loved Rainbow Rowell's other books. All three of them, I loved them.But, sadly I have to say this book wasn't for me. I couldn't relate to any of the characters. I didn't even care,maybe a little bit about Eleonor 's siblings. I really want to know what would become of them.But, again sadly they weren't the focus of this book.Honestly, I didn't buy into their romance. They just fell in love, and the book dragged on and on,and it became really boring. I wanted to love this book so bad.But, I didn't . I am so sad. I am also happy that it wasn't my first encounter with Rainbow Rowell, otherwise, I would have never read her other books.

So, I just finished "Eleanor & Park" and honestly, I really enjoyed it. The romance between Eleanor and Park? Beautiful stuff. Yeah, it got a bit cringey sometimes, but hey, it's about teen love, so what can you expect?The main characters really grew on me. I found myself caring about both Eleanor and Park, feeling what they were going through. But the other characters? Not so much. The author kinda left them in the background.Now, the book does touch on bullying, which is important, but here's my issue - it doesn't really show how to deal with it. It's like everyone in the story just... accepts it? That bugged me a bit.Sometimes the story dragged on - I reckon they could've cut like 20 or 30 pages and it wouldn't have hurt. But overall, it was a good read, especially if you're into romance.The ending was... well, good. Not amazing, not terrible, just good. I liked it well enough.So yeah, if you're looking for a romance book, give it a shot. It's got some weak points, sure, but by the time you finish it, you'll probably feel it was worth it. At least I did.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Not satisfied with the ending.
