Park and Eleanor (entry 4)

 

             Out of all of the options on this list I am satisfied with my choice Park and Eleanor. What drew my attention to this book was I heard about it and noticed it on Goodreads. I was also impressed that it received 4 out of 5 stars. WOW! Other people’s opinions are very valuable to me.  After reading the back cover I was also completely intrigued that the book took place in 1986. I like reading novels that take place in this time period because it was the time that my parents grew up in. Reading words such as brave, desperate and, complete really set the tone before I event opened the cover. Some connections I noticed in my everyday life were that Park had to be strong for his good friend Eleanor and be her main support system. She had a very disturbing home life because her dad was an abuser. I have a friend as well that always needs someone to talk to about their struggles to keep strong at home.  I think I am a lot like Park the way I confront my friend during hard times. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes romance and wants or likes inspiration to push through the hard times in life. I am looking forward to telling my friends about this book and how it has inspired me. I loved how the ending was heart wrenching but unpredictable.
