Eleanor & Park #3

I have finally finished the breath taking book "Eleanor & Park". Rainbow Rowell is an amazing author! She put so much love and pain in just 325 pages. All of the characters you meet in this book will effect either Eleanor or park. From where I left off I was explaining that Eleanor and Park got into a huge conflict and they didn't talk for quite some time. Well things have changed a lot and quickly. Ever since the horrible things were written in her book, Park wanted her to check right after gym class. The writing had stopped so Eleanor didn't think it would happen again until one day her clothes were gone. She panicked and looked everywhere. She couldn't believe where she had found them. They were in the toilet. Her new jeans and favorite vans were attempted to be flushed down the toilet. She wanted to sob as far as she could but she just tried to suck it up. Eleanor knew if park saw he would want to go after someone. She tried to sneak to her coulees office but to her luck she encountered Park. His face boiled with anger. She quickly left. She didn't want him to see her in something that made her look revolting, in her opinion. But in Parks opinion, she looked extremely beautiful. Seeing her in the right gym uniform made him just want to hug and kiss her. Well to not give too much away, Eleanor and Park start to escalate on their relationship. But will something come to ruin their real life fairy tale? 

Eleanor definitely has changed a lot in the book. Park helped her change a lot. He made her realize that she is worth it and that love - the real type - can help. Before, holding hands was something new and strange to Eleanor. Just a simple touch and she was amazed. "If you ever wonder what that feels like, it's a lot like melting - but more violent. Even in a million different pieces, Eleanor could still feel Park holding her hand." Eleanor claimed on page 72. But on page 253 - yes 181 pages later - Park and Eleanor had taken big steps into their relationship. Parks point of view show us, "Eleanor pressed her cheek to his chest, and Park hugged her. He wished that they could go through life like this." They are obviously a lot more familiar with each other. These two different parts of the book show us that she goes from shy to open. Because of her home situation she was never secure. She didn't trust anyone, not even her own mother. She now found park. He has helped her grow. He's showing her to live life freely.
