Eleanor and Park Book Review

Eleanor & Park is the story of two star-crossed lovers written by Rainbow Rowell. Rainbow Rowell is one of my favorite writers. The magic she does with words is what every reader craves. She knows how to make her reader connect with the story and make them live it.
The story is all about finding your first love and letting yourself get lost in the pleasure of being consumed by it. Rowell in an interview said "I've always, always wanted to write first love story. I feel like, when you're 16, you've the greatest ever capacity for romantic love. You fall in love with every cell of your body. But at the same time, at that age, you've so little to offer the person you love. You don't belong to yourself quite yet - you still have school & your parents, your own space - and you also know that what you're feeling probably won't last. First love usually doesn't. There's a built-in tragedy to falling (truly) in love when you're 16.It's like every 16-year-old in love is either Romeo or Juliet. That is what I wanted to write about."
Eleanor and park come from different family backgrounds it's like they're opposite forces which should repel each other but somehow these opposite forces break the rules and find their ways to one another. Eleanor is big red-head girl, with strange dressing mostly men's clothing she comes from an unstable family. She's more like a meek. Park is a 16-year-old Korean guy who's mostly quiet with headphones in ears reading comics. He likes wearing black and eyeliner too which his father definitely doesn't like.
These two misfits when meet each other it's like finding what each of them has missed in their lives. Together they experience the most pleasurable yet dangerous moments. With every touch, every word they come closer and closer until the time when everything changes and all they get is nothing but an everlasting connection towards each other even after getting separate.

Looking for Alaska Book Review

- The obsession of Miles with last words made me believe that a person's last words do have some kind of meaning. Alaska Young, always being moody, self-destructive, rebellious, reckless somehow finding distractions from her inner struggles & always looking for a way out of the labyrinth. Her death was tragic indeed. She left many mysteries behind. - The love that Miles had for Alaska made it more worse for him to forget that he let her go alone that night, drunk & messed up. Alaska truly didn't find her way out of the labyrinth but she did write it 'Straight & fast'. 'If people were rain, I was drizzle & she was a hurricane' - John Green ❤

October - A Slam

For ladies out there, all young and old age For fighter s out there, all ready to show grace For victims out there, fading at snail’s pace October , dear October be a blessing for the braves My mother was a beauty , brown hairs black eyes From head to toe, an example of how to live a life When she fell ill, I thought it was ordinary But the doctors concluded what put me through hell I’ve always admired the way she tied Her long hairs in a pretty French braid Then one day she started to hide under scarfs I was sad , so sad , to see her this bald I cried every night when I heard her threw up Couldn’t tell she was same Cause she gained weight too much I stood deadpan in hallway of hospital The night she lost all her potential It was October , yes October I prayed and prayed October , dear October be a blessing for the braves "Dedicated to all victims and survivors of breast cancer."

An Open Letter To All Teenagers Out There

Dear teenagers, What I am about to tell you guys is a bitter pill to swallow but is inevitable. You cannot run from it or hide from it so it's better that, when it comes, you're ready to welcome it with open arms and when it leaves; you get up, open the door, and wave it a warm, friendly goodbye. A time is coming really soon when you'll have to worry about a billion of things. When you'll feel tired, and exhausted all the time with out even having a busy or hectic day. You'll see sun rising and setting from your bedroom window whilst you wish to not to leave your room, or even your house for a very, very long time. You'll witness people leaving you for good, and new ones coming, but they too, for until you're of any use to them. There will be breakups, and distances building among your happiest of relations. Soon you'll start to worry about some stupid research paper and assignments. You'll be ditched, cheated, manipulated, and used by humans; ...
