Summer Reading Assignment Entry Four-Eleanor and Park

     After looking at the list of books on the website given, I shamefully was judging the books by their covers. I picked the covers that were the most appealing to me, or had familiar authors and read and compared the descriptions after that.  I was stuck between a book by John Green, 'Looking for Alaska', and and 'Eleanor and Park' For some reason I was pulled towards 'Eleanor and Park' Fortunately I was pulled towards this book because I absolutely loved it!  There weren't many connection between myself and the novel after reading it, considering I have never been in love.  I also have never read a teen love story before, other than 'The Last Song' The book itself just really popped out at me. I would most likely recommend this to girls, although guys could absolutely still like the book. The term "chick flick" is similar to what comes to mind when Eleanor and Park is mentioned.  It's a love story that almost reminds me of 'The Notebook' A teenage girl would most likely love this book.  In the end, anyone knowing this is a love story, could read and very much enjoy this book.  I loved it, and there most likely will be a second read in the future!
