The only thing that kept me from giving this book 5 stars is that the language was really simple. Otherwise, I loved it. The story is so genuine and heart wrenching. Even though I'm in my thirties, I was flooded with memories and feelings from when I was a teenager and had experiences like this. My favorite part of the book was the role that music played in Eleanor and Park's romance. That felt very real to me. The ending was a punch in the gut but it felt right.
