Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
Set in the 1980s, the story follows two misfit teenagers, Eleanor and Park, who form an unlikely bond on the school bus. Eleanor is a new girl with a tumultuous home life, marked by poverty and an abusive stepfather, while Park is a half-Korean boy who feels out of place in his predominantly white community. Despite their differences, they connect over shared interests in music and comic books, gradually developing a deep and transformative romance. As they navigate the challenges of adolescence and family struggles, their relationship becomes a poignant exploration of first love, identity, and the power of acceptance.
