Summary
About the author

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.
