Eleanor & Park is a reread for me. I did not remember anything about it from the first time (I've read a lot since 2018). After rereading I've decided Eleanor & Park is still a 3 star for me, but not a 3.5 like before. It was hard for me to get through some of the super gooey parts, I'll be honest- probably because I'm not the audience for this book anymore. Or because my heart has lost some of its romance from disuse. But it's well written and sweet so it still gets a good rating from me. I also liked the ending better than before even though it's a very "young YA" ending.
