Eleanor is clearly different and will stick out in a crowd whilst Park is someone who just wants to keep his head down. Then Eleanor sits next to him on the school bus. Slowly over the months their friendship builds as they get to know each other's tastes in music and books.
I have come late to Rainbow Rowell's books. Published in 2013 I missed this novel, perhaps because it is a love story. But this is so much more than just a love story, it is about what it is like to be a teenager, about a myriad of anxieties, about dysfunctional family, about not being in the popular crowd: a definite recommendation to S3/ S4 readers.
