Eleanor is a feminine given name, originally from an Old French adaptation of the Old Provençal name Aliénor. It is the name of a number of women of royalty and nobility in western Europe during the High Middle Ages. The name was introduced to England by Eleanor of Aquitaine, who came to marry King Henry II. It was also borne by Eleanor of Provence, who became Queen consort of England as the wife of King Henry III, and Eleanor of Castile, wife of Edward I. The name was popular in the United States in the 1910s and 1920s, peaking at rank 25 in 1920. It declined below 600 by the 1970s, again rose to rank 32 in the 2010s.

"Parce que les gens aiment se rappeler ce que c'est d'être jeunes, et amoureux ?"
Je n'ai pas réussi à lâcher ce livre du tout, engloutissant quelques précieuses heures de sommeil. Je me suis inquiété pour Eleanor, souris à leur histoire commune, versé de sérieuses larmes face à une fin que je n'attendais pas du tout, ... C'était un moment vraiment très beau, tout en étant à la fois extrêmement juste en évitant d'être édulcoré, le tout rythmé par de superbes chansons que l'on prends énormément de plaisir à redécouvrir. Un roman qui ne ment pas sur les sentiments ni sur certaines réalités.

Actual Rating 3.5 stars.
This was a good book. A good story. But not as good as Fangirl.
Maybe I'll write a longer review a little later.
