1999
eleanors pov
here we are. well its been a few years. me and park are together again and
it's magical. We live in a small town in England and are engaged.
I remember that postcard. aah. that post cart. those three words (ill guess
them if what they'd be) I didn't forget. yeah. those words changed
everything. Richie died in a freak car crash. good riddance.
yay!! its the new year. oh bumface. park kissed me. those butterflies still
come back. even now....
I don't know, personally, I thought that the three words on the postcard would be "I love you" because after she moved to her uncles, Eleanor was always thinking about Park and all the things she would never get to do with him again. When he read the postcard, he smiled, so that implies a positive reaction, plus, I think she said "I love you " because all throughout the book, it's always him saying "I love you" and she never said it. Obviously, Eleanor did love him, she just wasn't ready to say it back, especially not right before the last time she was going to see him, it would've been to painful to admit your love for someone and then say goodbye and never see them again.
Rowell stated in an interview that the three words were hopeful and positive. I think it's, "I miss you." Since, it reminded him of songs or something.
She also mentions in an interview its meant to be positive. You're welcome to read into it as you will, that's the beauty of books, but it's far from set in stone as saying "Just please stop"
Yeah Eleanor running out and crying every time they went over Parks house
got annoying real fast, but as a whole I thought all the characters were
written really well! I especially loved Parks mom haha
i just finished this book and i love it. it is VERY realistic and thought
it was just the best thing ever. I didn't get the ending and was kinda
going crazy over it. like "what!!!" but it just adds to the realism of it
all.
+Lulu Ramirez In the portuguese book version, it says 'two words' so I think it's 'I love you' because in portuguese you say 'Eu amo-te' = 2 words. Or.... the translator is just wrong... either way, it's a really good book, it makes you think like this
The last words were "Nothing ever ends" I first thought those words were "I love you" since she never said it to Park but apparently it's "Nothing ever ends" which when I found out I got so many feels
BOOK REVIEW: ELEANOR AND PARK BY RAINBOW ROWELL
WARNING: extremely gushy review. recorded in early november, edited/uploaded late december. i'm terrible, i know. i'm like 34573204895274985 books (read: ...
I'm so conflicted, I've seen all the hype and people seem to LOVE it, but
then a lot of people hate it, and present issues that make me really
reluctant to read it. Do you guys feel there's a lot of racism in this
book? I've seen people have issues about Rainbows' ignorance.
I hope you do. Its very realistic and at the same time feels like daisies with cotton candy being placed with a lot of care in your heart with a little bit of a dark tinge to it. Its frustrating to read it because its too real and focuses a lot on the "Now" moments where the two characters know that the future may not turn out quite like what they had dreamed of. Comic books and music is what they have in common at first but after that its just baskets of thorns and rainbows being tossed all over the place. Eleanor is like a terrible situation and Park is like someone who is fascinated by her weirdness. Since its a third person book, you get to put yourself in the shoes of each of these characters and feel what they feel.Its beautiful, must read it. P.s.- its definitely not a cheesy story, its dark and filled with rainbows with sour colors
You're gonna regret not reading the book. I hate romance but this book....this book makes the simple thing look bigger. its also very relatable where Eleanor is concerned. You HAVE to read it
For Eleanor,opening the letters must've been like experiencing the feeling of being ripped apart, knowing how much he must have missed her.She didn't open them because there was already too much pain to bottle up.
Sorry, but I just couldn't finish the book. It was just so clichéd and
boring, I found little to no enjoyment trudging through it. I can kind of
see why others like the book, but many of the things shown in the book has
been done far better. I honestly can't recommend it as much as people here
in the comment section, and maybe it gets better, but I left after reading
200 pages, and from what I heard the ending isn't anything to write home
about.
Spoiler!
At first you would think that Eleanor would be the outgoing and more open
person, considering her looks and Park the more introverted. Looks like
it's the opposite,it was Park who made the first steps, and I loved it.
This is one of the few books where I imagined the characters(mostly the
protagonists) and the locations there were in very clearly, maybe because
it was so simplistic. I imagined Eleanor something like Rachel Elizabeth
Dare from PJO and Bee from Bee and Puppycat. I couldn't imagine Park as a
half-Korean, but a Korean with green eyes, that was kinda difficult.
The beginning and towards the end wee the most interesting parts, I think,
in the middle it was....meh. Hahah, maybe I can't relate because I've never
been in love. But once I do, I'm gonna reread this book.
I have some questions: Why did Steve and Tina decide to help her after all(
didn't she dump her clothes in the toilet?). And why didn't Eleanor even
open the letters from Park? And what the hell did she right on that
postcard :D I'm so curious yeee.
Thank you if you read that hole long "review of mine" . You can reply if
you want :P
They decided to help her the moment they realized how crappy her step dad was. Especially Tina, who could relate better. Steve and Tina eventually began to behave themselves when they discovered how difficult and aggressive her step dad was, & since Park was on good terms, they decided to help.Eleanor didn't want to feel the pain of looking at Park's handwriting and whatever he must've written. Knowing that the letter was there was worse than actually opening and reading them.You really have to study the characters and empathize. Same case with people who disliked it. They didn't seem to understand the characters at all and overlooked the details.So its very important to know them by the time you read half the book.Eleanor must've written "I love you" since in the book she never once said it to him.That's all I got.
“You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a
little as if you have lost a friend.” ― Paul Sweeney. Farewell, Eleanor.
Farewell, Park.

+Chan Khayi I freaked out when I read this comment cause those were the exACT SAME PEOPLE I KEPT IMAGINING FOR PARK!! (probably just cause I love 5sos and The Maze Runner
+Sad Boy how do you know it? I know I have no profile picture. And it's not my fault you're a fanboy or fangirl of this book and my comment upset you.
I almost died, in all respect... THIS WAS NOT RIGHT TINA WAS ALL WRONG,
PARK WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO WRONG (HE WASN'T ASIAN ENOUGH! I NEED HIS EYES TO
FADE INTO HIS CHEEKS WHEN HE SMILES) AND THEY NEVER REALLY HELD THE COMIC
LIKE THAT
Okay um, just gonna be completely honest, this was portrayed terribly. Tina
is like 11 and who knows what's up with Steve? I thought he was supposed to
be this big, burly guy. Eleanor was more of an outgoing dresser, and she
was a lot more rude to Tina. Plus, I don't even think Park was Asian..
She wasn't rude too Tina at all, she just tried to stay out of her way. Tina wasn't 11 she was 16, they were all 16 and Park was Asian. Half Asian. His mum was Korean. Did you even pay attention to the book at all? She was quite more of an outgoing dresser though, you're right about that.
