Eleanor and Park meet on the school bus and can't stand each other. Eleanor wears bizarre clothes and doesn't seem to care about her appearance. Park is aloof and buried in his comic books. A few bus rides and a little chemistry later things change. Rowell captures the intensity of high school love perfectly, and I liked her characters. Park's parents, who Eleanor compares to the Cleavers, are nicely flawed but decent. Eleanor's evil stepfather makes for a believable mix of light and dark in this enjoyable romance.
