What’s Up With the Title?

Nothing fancy here, folks. This book is called Eleanor & Park because it's about… Eleanor and Park. This simple, no-brainer title seems to be in line with Rowell's straightforward writing style. Not only that, it echoes the perspective shifts that structure this story, hopping back and forth between Eleanor and Park to understand them as individuals and a couple from both of their vantage points. This book isn't just about Eleanor and Park, it hangs out with them each respectively, too.
