Eleanor & Park

I didn't know what to expect from this book–I'd put it off reading it so long. But, as a child of the 80s from the Midwest and lover of YA romance, this book was made for me. Mean girls and being an outcast but still being your dorky self. Call waiting and memorizing a boy's phone number. Communicating with others by way of music and musical tastes–mixtapes, walkmans, MTV, and records. This book won't be for everyone, but I loved it.
