Eleanor & Park

#1 New York Times Best Seller!

"Eleanor & Park reminded me not just what it's like to be young and in love with a girl, but also what it's like to be young and in love with a book."-John Green, The New York Times Book Review

• 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.
