Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell is a tender, funny, and heart-wrenching coming-of-age love story set in 1986. When two unlikely teenagers — awkward, flame-haired Eleanor and quiet, music-loving Park — meet on the school bus, it marks the beginning of a connection neither expected. Through shared comic books, mixtapes, and whispered conversations, they navigate first love in a world that’s often unkind to those who don’t fit in. A timeless, bittersweet story of hope, bravery, and belonging.
