4.5 - spoiler on the cover ?! Wtf.

I had heard a lot of good things about this novel on BookTube, and I was curious to see what the story was about. I can say that I was not disappointed, the novel is well deserving of all the hype.

I keep trying of what to say about this book, how to summarize it, but for some reason it's hard. It's set in the 80's. Eleanor is the new (and weird) girl in school, and kids bully her. She sits next to Park on the bus; the only Asian kid. He shares his comic books and music with her. The only thing they have in common is that they are different.

Rainbow Rowell certainly knows how to write, and how to pace her stories.
