Waiting on Wednesday: Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

Listed in NPR's 2012 In Review: 50 Wonderful Things From The Year In Pop Culture, was a great book about young love:

"4.  Rainbow Rowell's luscious, delicate novel Eleanor & Park, which tells as vivid a story about young love, mix tapes and comic books as you're likely to read. Already out in the UK, it will be released in the US in February."  

I was intrigued, so over I went to GoodReads:

"Bono met his wife in high school," Park says.
"So did Jerry Lee Lewis," Eleanor answers.
"I’m not kidding," he says.
"You should be," she says, "we’re sixteen."
"What about Romeo and Juliet?"
"Shallow, confused, then dead."
''I love you," Park says.
"Wherefore art thou," Eleanor answers.
"I’m not kidding," he says.
"You should be."

Set over the course of one school year in 1986, ELEANOR AND PARK is the story of two star-crossed misfits – smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you’ll remember your own first love – and just how hard it pulled you under.

YUP- this looks perfect.  March 5th 2013, see you then Eleanor & Park.  Until then, I will be "Waitin' on" this title. What is your WoW this week? As always, a thanks to Jill at Breaking the Spine for hosting Waiting on Wednesday.
