'Reminded me not just what it's like to be young and in love; but what it's like to be young and in love with a book' John Green; author of The Fault in our Stars Eleanor is the new girl in town; and she's never felt more alone. All mismatched clothes; mad red hair and chaotic home life; she couldn't stick out more if she tried. Then she takes the seat on the bus next to Park. Quiet; careful and - in Eleanor's eyes - impossibly cool; Park's worked out that flying under the radar is the best way to get by. Slowly; steadily; through late-night conversations and an ever-growing stack of mix tapes; Eleanor and Park fall in love. They fall in love the way you do the first time; when you're 16; and you have nothing and everything to lose. Set over the course of one school year in 1986; Eleanor & Park is funny; sad; shocking and true - an exquisite nostalgia trip for anyone who has never forgotten their first love.
