Eleanor & Park

Book • 2012
Set over one school year in 1986, Eleanor & Park follows Eleanor, a chubby redheaded girl from an abusive home, and Park, a half-Korean boy passionate about comics and music, as they navigate bullying, family struggles, and their intense first love.

Through shared mixtapes of 1980s music and comic books, their unlikely friendship blossoms into a deep romance, tested by Eleanor's dangerous stepfather and the uncertainties of young love.

The story captures the raw emotions of adolescence, ending on a poignant note with a mysterious postcard.
