In the very beginning of the book Eleanor & Park, Eleanor had meet this Asian kid named Park on the bus and instantly they knew something was there between them but they both tried to push it aside and ignore it. In the following passage it was one of the main parts that specifically hooked me to this book because all I wanted to do is find out how Eleanor and Park start falling for each other.
"A few other buses were already pulling away. Somebody ran down the steps next to Eleanor and accidentally kicked her bag. She pulled it out of the way and started to say sorry-but it was that stupid Asian kid, and he frowned when he saw that it was her. She frowned right back at him, and he ran ahead (page 12)."
I think the author Rainbow Rowell decided to put this particular scene in the book just to hook the readers. I definitely got hooked because it is pretty obvious that somewhere in the book Eleanor and Park fall in love-I just didn't know how or when. My motivation to keep reading this book was mostly from this section because it is that start of the author hinting at us that they have something for each other.
