im really sad after this and i just.... feel like i cant write a proper review but this has to be in my tope 5 favourite books . ever. maybe even my favourite who knows. this book made me think of the future and my first love ... and i hope its close to the love these two had. it's so simple but beautiful. their love is like a real version of an ed sheeran song. but it has real aspects which made me feel so attached to them. it wasn't full complete bliss in every aspect of their life. they had real problems as teenagers should. also eleanor didn't throw herself at park stright away like you seen in the movies. she was self conscious and thought of every move in advance, which is presumbably what happens? i wouldn't know. but if it was me i know i would be fully self aware even if he confessed his profound love for me. insecurities do not disappear when you fall in love. eleanor had those insecurities and dealt with the problems accompanied with them when the problem arose.

this book fully encaptured me into eleanor and park's lives and i haven't experienced that in a while. it deserves all the praise it recieves so thank you , rainbow rowell.
(this got super sappy woops)
