Retro Review: Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

Proof that there is an exception to my young adult dislike. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell Young Adult Fiction, 328 Pages Released February 2013 Amazon ♦ Goodreads 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. My Thoughts Awww. This is such a great book about first love and the reality of having really shitty parents when everyone else’s home life...

A terrible accident forced her to make a terrible choice that left her young son dead and she is not coping well. Still-sexy Jeremy Sisto plays the dad who seems to be coping with the death of their little boy by becoming a workaholic. He scours India looking for antiques that he resells for loads of money. At least I think that's what he does. He's seen bringing home an old thing or two and lives in a lovely large home so that's how I came to that conclusion. But the beautiful man hasn't a clue what Laurie is about to do. Their nanny/maid/bad advice giver attempts to help Laurie find some closure by telling her about a place that will ...
