I really enjoyed Eleanor and Park as well.
Looks like they’re planning on making a movie of it. The girl who played Barb in Stranger Things wants to play her. I can see that…
Aren’t lists just the best? I’ve only read one of your books, The Outsider. I liked it at the time but it hasn’t been too memorable. I absolutely loved the moment that character Mr Mercedes showed up though!
YES! Making lists is one of my favorite things to do. I’m such a nerd. 🤓 Agree that The Outsider wasn’t memorable but love that character from Mr. Mercedes. Glad he used her in a book again.
I slacked on reading this year. The only ones of yours I’ve read in the past are the Gillian Flynn books, which I enjoyed. She hasn’t written anything I’ve disliked yet.
Yeah – I’ve really enjoyed all of Flynn’s books even though it’s not a genre I really go for. She’s a very good writer. 🙂
