eleanor & Park" by Rainbow Rowell.
In 1986 Omaha, Nebraska, Eleanor, a new girl with fiery red hair, a penchant for oversized clothes, and a chaotic home life, finds herself sitting next to Park, a quiet, music-loving Korean-American boy, on the school bus. Initially, they're wary of each other, but their shared love for comic books and The Smiths creates a fragile connection.
Their budding friendship blossoms into a tender, awkward romance. They communicate through mixtapes, borrowed comic books, and furtive glances. Eleanor's difficult home situation, with an abusive stepfather and a sense of constant vulnerability, contrasts sharply with Park's relatively stable family life. Park becomes a safe haven for Eleanor, a place where she can be herself without judgment.
As their feelings deepen, they face the challenges of young love, societal expectations, and the harsh realities of their individual circumstances. They navigate the complexities of first love, the fear of vulnerability, and the bittersweet knowledge that their time together might be limited. "Eleanor & Park" is a poignant story of finding solace in another person and the enduring power of a connection forged in the face of adversity
