Eleanor & Park

By Rainbow Rowell
Ya lit
Hardback
323 pages

A girl with a messed up family comes home after a year and her family is still messed up. She starts at a new school, doesn't know anyone, and is constantly made fun of.
The kids she sits next to on the bus is a decent guy and they develop a romantic relationship.
It captures the "end of the world" quality that I often observe in the relationships of my students.
It was a fast and interesting read, but I don't think I'll ever read it again.
