Summary:

Slowly, Eleanor and Park get to know each other and fall madly in love.
Review:
This book is SO CUTE. It's just so adorable, I can't even. SO CUTE!
At the same time, you're waiting for something bad to happen. It's there, looming in the background, some unknown bomb waiting to explode.
You get to read both the viewpoint Eleanor and Park, and it brings something great to this story. It's not repetitive as it can sometimes become when you read the viewpoint of two main characters who interact a lot. I liked how they're very young, and you can tell that they're young by the way they think.
Though this is mostly a very adorable and lovely story, it has a deeper and darker tone to it, especially at the end. I don't think this is a book for young readers, it even says so on the back of the book.
So, if you're an adult and want to read a really sweet love story mixed with some darker things, this is the book for you. Definitely worth reading.
You can get this book at The Book Depository* (it's also really beautiful in hardback*)
