First love, set in 1986

Set across one school year in 1986, Eleanor & Park brings two sixteen-year-old outsiders together through a first romance they both know may not last. The description’s sharp, teasing exchanges introduce a connection that sits between youthful skepticism and the willingness to take a chance. Its focus on first love is grounded in the characters’ age and the uncertainty they face, while the period setting gives their school-year story a specific time and place. This paperback edition also features sprayed edges with a stenciled script design.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teen and young adult readers interested in contemporary romance.
  • Readers drawn to stories about first love and teenage outsiders.
  • Readers who enjoy a story set in the 1980s.

Book overview

A gorgeous first-ever-paperback edition featuring sprayed edges with a stenciled script design.

Bono met his wife in high school, Park says.
So did Jerry Lee Lewis, Eleanor answers.
I'm not kidding, he says.
You should be, she says, we're 16.
What about Romeo and Juliet?
Shallow, confused, then dead.
I love you, Park says.
Wherefore art thou, Eleanor answers.
I'm not kidding, he says.
You should be.

Set over the course of one school year in 1986, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits-smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you'll remember your own first love--and just how hard it pulled you under.
