Review: Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Post by Colbycomp22 »

I don't usually read romance novels but I decided to take a chance on this novel because of the good reviews I saw it was getting.

I actually really enjoyed this book and thought it was a good read to pass the time. I really like how there are two points of views in this book and that really connects you to the characters.

I only have about one problem with the book and that is that the story essentially didn't have anything going for it. Things do happen in the book but nothing happens that is very major.
I wanted a big confrontation between Eleanor and her mother or Richie and maybe get a sight about how they feel. I wanted some closure on her mom and her stepdad.

Overall, I really enjoyed this novel and I just might try to read the authors other novels.
