From Rainbow Rowell comes a tender and emotional young adult romance about first love, feeling like an outsider, and finding someone who makes the world feel a little less lonely.

Set in 1986, Eleanor is the new girl at school, impossible to miss with her bright red hair, mismatched clothes, and guarded personality. At home, her life is difficult and unstable, and at school, she quickly becomes the target of cruelty and judgement.

Park is quiet, thoughtful, and trying to stay invisible. He spends his bus rides reading comics and listening to music, until Eleanor sits beside him and slowly begins to change his world.

What starts with shared comic books and mixtapes grows into a powerful connection between two teenagers who both feel out of place in different ways. But as their relationship deepens, Eleanor’s home life becomes increasingly unsafe, forcing them both to confront how fragile first love can be when the world around them is anything but gentle.

Heartfelt, bittersweet, and deeply moving, Eleanor & Park explores first love, family hardship, identity, bullying, and the courage it takes to let someone truly see you.
