True Love, Book Fights, and Why Ugly Stories Matter, Linda Holmes

This morning, Kari and Heather published reviews of Eleanor and Park, by Rainbow Rowell.  Linda Holmes, of NPR's Monkey See published a phenomenal article on Eleanor and Park and the importance of ugly stories.  It's truly a fascinating read with some wonderful points, and we would love to share it with you.

Check it out here, and then come back and tell us what you think.  Is this a book you'll be adding to your shelf?  Do you see value in stories that are hard to handle?
