Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Eleanor is the new girl in town. She's a little self conscious about her appearance but that doesn't stop Park from offering her a seat on the bus. She doesn't have a very good family life and her step dad, Richie, isn't the nicest man. On the other hand, Park's family is a little more put together. His dad may be strict but his mom has a nice little salon in their garage. So when Park first sees Eleanor on the bus, he gets a little annoyed because she doesn't know where to sit. They sit by each other and for the first few weeks don't say a word to each other. When he brings his comics he realizes that she likes to read them too. Who knew a comic would lead them to..... well, I shouldn't say anymore. You'll just have to read and find out.

I personally loved this book and think if you're looking for a typical high school romance story, you should definitely read Eleanor and Park* by Rainbow Rowell.
