"It is. “Eleanor & Park” reminded me not just what it’s like to be young and in love with a girl, but also what it’s like to be young and in love with a book." -John Green ]]> 2017-11-02 18:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/hirvine01/j55y5jwqhfj7/wish/203080719 hirvine01 https://padlet.com/hirvine01/j55y5jwqhfj7/wish/203081809 this is such a beautiful book, I can't choose just one so here's a few.

“Nothing before you counts," he said. "And I can't even imagine an after."

“Holding Eleanor's hand was like holding a butterfly. Or a heartbeat. Like holding something complete, and completely alive.”

"Park was the sun, and that was the only way Eleanor could think to explain it"]]> 2017-11-02 19:01:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hirvine01/j55y5jwqhfj7/wish/203081809 hirvine01 https://padlet.com/hirvine01/j55y5jwqhfj7/wish/203084763 I love everything about this book, something about it makes my heart feel heavy and my body feel weightless, there's nothing particularly special about "Eleanor and Park" but it is so special to me. I love the characters and the setting but I especially love the way it is written, I love Rainbow Rowell's way with words, this book is like a way to read music.]]> 2017-11-02 19:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/hirvine01/j55y5jwqhfj7/wish/203084763 hirvine01 https://padlet.com/hirvine01/j55y5jwqhfj7/wish/203085745 it was very difficult to find something I didn't like about this book. But I realized that some of the characters were kind of stereotypes, all the characters had beautiful well written personalities but some of them were based off of stereotypes they keep with them the whole book]]> 2017-11-02 19:09:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hirvine01/j55y5jwqhfj7/wish/203085745 hirvine01 https://padlet.com/hirvine01/j55y5jwqhfj7/wish/203086928 this is my favourite book of all time!!!]]> 2017-11-02 19:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/hirvine01/j55y5jwqhfj7/wish/203086928
