About this listen

Eleanor is the new girl in town, and she's never felt more alone. All mismatched clothes, mad red hair and chaotic home life, she couldn't stick out more if she tried. Then she takes the seat on the bus next to Park. Quiet, careful and - in Eleanor's eyes - impossibly cool, Park's worked out that flying under the radar is the best way to get by.

Slowly, steadily, through late-night conversations and an ever-growing stack of mix tapes, Eleanor and Park fall in love. They fall in love the way you do the first time, when you're 16, and you have nothing and everything to lose.

Set over the course of one school year in 1986, Eleanor & Park is funny, sad, shocking and true - an exquisite nostalgia trip for anyone who has never forgotten their first love.

Critic reviews

Reminded me not just what it's like to be young and in love, but what it's like to be young and in love with a book (John Green, author of THE FAULT IN OUR STARS)

sweet teenage romance

I'm really not an expert on books and narration, but I can say the book was a little dull sometimes. I also really didn't like the male voiceactor's voice for Eleanor. A very sweet book. I really liked the beginning, when Elaenor and Park began their romance in the bus

romantic and nostalgic

I think It's a great teenage love story that can transpourt you to your memories of the first boyfriend, like a pure and inocence love. Also the autor shows the bullying that some teenagers have to go trough in school and some dificulties with deep family problems.

The truth about ghetto neighbourhoods

I didn't struggle to finish this at all, and I'd prefer to listen to the audio book.
