Get a Custom Essay My Opinion I really liked this book because it is about love and I really like books about love or romantic books. I really liked that it was from two different perspectives: Park's and Eleanor's. Sometimes it was helpful to have a better view of the story because you could read what both characters were feeling or thinking at the same time. Only I didn't like the ending, I think they could have written a better ending, I hope this book has a sequel so that some questions that are still in the reader's mind are answered. I think my friends will like it too because they like the same types of topics.
