Eleanor is the new girl in town and she's never felt more alone. All mismatched clothes mad
red hair and chaotic home life she couldn't stick out more if she tried. Then she takes the
seat on the bus next to Park. Quiet careful and - in Eleanor's eyes - impossibly cool Park's
worked out that flying under the radar is the best way to get by. Slowly steadily through
late-night conversations and an ever-growing stack of mix tapes Eleanor and Park fall in love.
They fall in love the way you do the first time when you're 16 and you have nothing and
everything to lose. Set over the course of one school year in 1986 Eleanor & Park is funny
sad shocking and true - an exquisite nostalgia trip for anyone who has never forgotten their
first love.
