It's not like changing writing, but I'm really enjoying it. Richie reminds me of my stepfather, and I adore Park's parents.

Also great. I just finished this too. I want to read her new book Landline. I think she is delightful.

Good to know. I wanted to try another one of her books, but didn't want it to be a let down after Eleanor and Park.

I listened to the first track on the way home and it already seems like it's going to be a good listen.

Yes. It took me a couple chapters to get into it, but then I couldn't put it down.

I just went on amazon to buy and it's only $2 for kindle :-)

I was a big fan of her column in the Omaha World Herald twenty years ago. I was really surprised and happy to see her name on a stack of books at BN when Eleanor and Park came out. (Rainbow Rowell isn't a name you easily forget!)

She returned to the OWH a few years ago and I hated her columns. But I've loved most of her books.

Tis was a turning point for me, too. God, I loved that book. I've read her others; Eleanor and Park is by far the best.
