Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
Antonio Sanchez Ortiz
Plot Summary:
This book follows two teenagers named Eleanor and Park, who meet on the bus after Eleanor comes as a new student to the school and Park is forced to sit with her after yelling at her for taking his seat. After this moment they start sitting together on the bus and we start seeing their relationship develop and throughout the book we see the struggles that Eleanor has to face throughout the book that also impact Park.
Critical Evaluation:
This book would be an 8.5/10 since during this book you feel as if you are with the characters and you won't want to let go of the book, but some parts in the story are too "perfect" without little to non-struggles. This book makes you question everyone's background because of how Park has a nice background and Eleanor has a tough background but each has their own struggles. It also makes you realize that you should walk a mile in another person's shoes in order to understand their struggles without judging them.
