Book Review of Stargirl (Stargirl, Bk 1)

I was really looking forward to reading this book, but sadly, I didn't like it much. Jerry Spinelli's Stargirl is a book about a strange girl who comes to school and the boy who falls in love with her. Part of the problem is that I recently read Eleanor and Park, by Rainbow Rowell and it was such a fabulous book, dealing with basically the same subject. So, I'd hoped I'd love Stargirl just as much. Nope. Not even close. My recommendations? If you're looking for a sweet teen romance between a strange, misunderstood girl and the boy who dares to love her, read Eleanor and Park and skip this one. Sorry. Only 2 stars.
