Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

This book is about a girl who has red hair and dresses really weirdly and an Asian guy who likes comic books. They are both weird. It is set in the '80s. I will not say anymore. I am afraid of spoilers.
I loved this book. All of the characters were very well developed, and it felt like the author wasn't writing about teenagers in that unflattering or inaccurate way that some authors do. Even though it was set in 1985, the timeframe didn't detract from the story or distract the reader. The writing style was great and the plot and sub-plots were very cool and seemed complete by the end of the book. There was a surprise ending. I recommend this book to anyone in our class. It has a little mature content.
