This book was published in 2013

Eleanor & Park: A Novel by Rainbow Rowell is a tender, emotional story set in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1986. It follows two high school sophomores—Eleanor, a quirky, red-haired girl from a troubled home, and Park, a half-Korean boy who feels like he never quite fits in. When Eleanor boards the school bus for the first time, no one wants to make room for her—until Park reluctantly gives her a seat. What begins as silent rides and awkward glances soon transforms into a deep, heartfelt connection built through shared comic books and exchanged mixtapes.

As Eleanor deals with poverty, bullying, and a tense home life controlled by her abusive stepfather, Park offers her an escape through kindness and understanding. Their relationship blossoms slowly, beautifully, and authentically—capturing the awkward intensity and vulnerability of first love. But the realities of their lives and the disapproval of others cast shadows on their growing bond.

Rowell paints a vivid and nostalgic portrait of teen love in a world that doesn’t always make room for difference. Told in alternating perspectives, Eleanor & Park is a coming-of-age story that explores identity, resilience, and the powerful, fleeting magic of first love. It’s a novel that lingers long after the final page.
