This is one of those lines that Rowell uses that truly develops a character and makes a story real, as if it could be happening in any town to any kid. But is it? We all know how we whisper in the dark, no matter the circumstances. I know it’s short but I love it-this is something that we know exactly what Park means when he says this, but the way he says it is so silly sounding, so juvenile. This is one of my absolute favorite lines. Give a two sentence explanation of why chosen. List three pithy passages and their page numbers. I’m not a sappy person, but Eleanor & Park… wow. I feel empty inside because if I have a romantic side, I only realized it after I read this book. Does she just want to keep him as her own private secret? What’s up with that? The ending truly messed me up. Was it even a break up? Eleanor comments how she wanted them to just “stop” (318)-and on that page she also says that she told her new friend that she never had a boyfriend and never kissed anyone. And Eleanor never wrote him-why didn’t she write him? Why did she ignore all of his letters? Why? I would have liked just a few more pages to help me feel closure-yes, their breakup honestly makes me need closure. Park suddenly moved on to some girl named Cat. I know that Rowell had to end it eventually because Eleanor had finally moved away, but I just didn’t like it. I liked this better than Fangirl, but this book is hard to compete with when it comes to teenage love stories.Īside from character development, I loved it all. Even minor characters like their parents and their siblings came to life at Rowell’s command. These characters were so real and so likable. Develop one aspect of the story you enjoyed or disliked (plot, setting, a character, ending).
