Eleanor and Park – Rainbow Rowell

About This Book

Coming-of-age story about two misfits (I hate this word) that was banned in Minnesota because of “vile profanity” (there’s… none). It was turned into a movie in 2018, but I haven’t watched it.

My Review: If You Like YA

I’m always reading this genre, I think it’s because I felt like such a loser for most of my teenage life – until I developed a personality when I was around 17. Wouldn’t particularly bother with a read unless you really need something light-hearted. There’s something nostalgic about the cover image though. Back in the day (because I’m 50) I used to share music with the guys I liked and got a real kick when they liked them and used the lyrics on their MSN statuses. Like I said – loser.

Why You Should Read It

If curiosity gets the better of you as to why it was banned in Minnesota. It’s so vanilla you’d be all “… the fuck?!”
