This is the third post in the series Let's be the change. Today Miss. Rajsree Ramakrishnan is giving her review for the book Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. She is an Associate Signal Engineer . A vivid reader, wonderful friend , an introvert, a never give up personality.
“She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.”
Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell - A Book Review
“She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.”
This was my first interaction with the book “Eleanor and Park” , this
words kind of stuck a chord with me ,
with bright yellow cover page and girl with frizzy hair and a pair or earphones
connecting them worked for me.
When I read the summary, it was let down , it seemed like a typical
teenage love story and all that jazz, me being 23 to read the same didn’t make
sense, nevertheless I gave it chance.
First and foremost , Rainbow Rowell
knows her character in and out, she will make you believe her characters
are real and relatable , so relatable you might feel it’s you whom the author
is referring to.
She will make you yearn for the those years of your life , where things
were simpler and happiness were exchanging comics or probably making a mix tape
for your significant other, it’s about your first love, the most pristine one ,
where you don’t have a yardstick to measure your love, no materialistic needs,
you are not broken, you don’t even know what a broken heart is, you love
without conditions like there is no tomorrow.
Eleanor being a plump red head girl and Park being a Asian lean boy
wouldn’t be anybody’s choice of protagonist but Rainbow brings chemistry
between them effortlessly , Eleanor dysfunctional family and park’s more stable family but he struggles
with approval of his father all something we have been through.
Rowell encaptures everything that a good romance should be,
together with so much more. Everything is unwrapped from the awkwardness to the
love. The ending left me craving so much more of it. The last page left me
confused and a complete wreck. Honestly, it hurt, and I
was left hoping that there was an epilogue that had gotten secretly ripped out
of my copy.
