Kristina Love Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell listening to Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell right now and enjoying it very much. Can't wait to move on to Attachments by Rainbow Rowell and Landline by Rainbow Rowell .

Rainbow has a way of making each character so likable and unique that is draws you into her stories and you just fall in love.


message 3: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) Agreed!


message 4: by Lekeisha (new)

Lekeisha (lekeishathebooknerd) Love her books! Fangirl and Eleanor&Park are 2 favs that I read in 2013.

Isamlq | 612 comments rainbow rowell! my favorite of hers is ATTACHMENTS (it was the last book I read of hers and my god but the 90's !!!)


message 6: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) I loved Attachments too! It was so funny and sweet!

(My favorite is probably E&P, but I actually love all of them.)


message 7: by Glass (new)

Glass I've just finished Fangirl and I'm wondering why I've waited this long to read it. It was perfect.
I really liked writing and the way everything ended.

JanaMarga Anyone else felt empty after (view spoiler) I just loved E&P.


message 9: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) She's hinted that she's working on a sequel.


message 10: by JanaMarga (new)

JanaMarga Thanks, Wendy. I didn't know that. GREAT.


message 11: by Heidi (new)

Heidi Jana - I love Rainbow but I think she def. needs to work on her endings. I thought the endings of both E & P and Fangirl were kind of rushed and def. not the best parts of the books. I still love her though!

Amber (amberm867) I've read Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell and Attachments by Rainbow Rowell .

To be honest, I didn't really like Eleanor & Park. While I felt it was well-written, it just made me sad most of the time. If it weren't for the ending (view spoiler) I would have regretted reading it. I had a hard time with Eleanor's attitude in general and her home situation and the way E & P's love was portrayed - it was just too sappy for me. I did enjoy the last 10th or so(view spoiler), though I can understand why many people felt it was too open. I guess you could say I'm torn - 2.5 stars. (I just finished this book yesterday, so I'm still processing my feelings.)

If there really is a sequel, however, I do want to read it since I'm curious about what happens with her and her family and Park.

But I LOVED, loved, loved Attachments - 5 stars!

For those of you that have read FanGirl or Landline, do you think either or those are similar to E&P or Attachments? Or are they something entirely their own?


message 13: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) I would say they're entirely on their own. I haven't read Landline yet, but I've read all three of her others I loved them all, but they're all pretty unique.
