Publisher's summary

Rainbow Rowell's timeless #1 New York Times Bestseller.

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.

The probable truth that shines through the story.

I did not dislike any of this book. It did hit on some tough areas that many people might not understand and, rightfully so, may be hard to take in. But it was wonderfully written and executed well. I definitely would recommend it, especially to adults:)

Love it!

I’ve read the story 3 times already but this is the first time I’ve listened to the audiobook. I love the narrators, they were both awesome. However, Sunil (Park’s Narrator) was on another level. He even did the sad bits with a chocking voice - what a performance! Absolute 5 stars!

Brilliantly written and truly heartwarming

This is an intelligent exploration into first love that goes deeper than the teen romance genre. Strongly recommend
