Since we are going to be testing all week, I decided to pick up a new book to keep myself occupied so maybe my head wont explode from stress. Fingers crossed! Anyway, I'm going to be reading Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. This is a book that has been recommended to me more times than I can count. It seems like the typical love story book between teenagers... actually, now that I think about it, is there really a "typical" love story?
Hear me out. I think that the meaning of the words "teen love story" have changed a lot throughout the year. Before, when you'd hear those words, you'd think of a tail of two star-crossed lovers who took their lives. Now, you're reminded of an incredible story between two cancer patients that had a love that was almost indescribable, thanks to one of the best people ever, my man John Green. The association with those words changes through the ages.
Could this book be the new great story everyone thinks about when they hear those three words? I hope so!
