Very disappointed with this. I was expecting a beautiful, feel good emotional story but got an awkward teenage story which is fine. Main issue with this book was how the romance was written and the way Park's character was written. He felt quite crazy with his over the top feelings towards Eleanor. I think it would have been much better if the two would have gotten together much later on with more build up and with more awkward conversations between them. Also the whole stepdad thing was really terribly done it shouldn't have been a vital part of the story.
