《这不是告别》作为全美媒体和读者的年度之选，一出版就迅速横扫《纽约时报》畅销书榜长达45周，席卷全球三十多国。故事讲述了一头红发、穿着肥大男款衬衫的Eleanor，与沉默寡言、沉迷于音乐和漫画世界的Park之间的故事。

She remembered her books today, and she was wearing fresh clothes. She'd had to wash her jeans out in the bathtub last night, so they were still kind of damp… But altogether, Eleanor felt a thousand times better than she had yesterday. Even her hair was halfway cooperating. She'd clumped it up into a bun and wrapped it with a rubber band. It was going to hurt like crazy trying to tear the rubber band out, but at least it was staying for now.

今天她没有忘记带课本，也穿了干净衣服。昨晚，她不得不在澡盆里洗牛仔裤，所以现在还有点湿嗒嗒的。但是总体上，埃莉诺的心情比昨天好一千倍。就连她的头发也开始合作了。她把头发拢成了一个髻，用橡皮筋绑了起来。扯掉橡皮筋肯定会非常痛，但至少现在她的头发定住了。

There was something about the music on that tape. It felt different. Like, it set her lungs and her stomach on edge. There was something exciting about it, and something nervous. It made Eleanor feel like everything, like the world, wasn't what she'd thought it was. And that was a good thing. That was the greatest thing.

磁带里的音乐很有意思。与众不同，好像会搅动她的心肝肺，令人既兴奋又紧张不安。埃莉诺觉得眼前的整个世界都跟她原来想象的不同了。这是好事，是最好不过的事。

When she got on the bus that morning, she immediately lifted her head to find Park. He was looking up too, like he was waiting for her. She couldn't help it, she grinned. Just for a second.

那天她一上校车就马上抬头寻找帕克。他也抬起头，似乎一直在等她。她微笑了，一秒钟而已。

Best of all, she had Park's songs in her head -- and in her chest, somehow.

最棒的是，帕克给她的音乐回荡在她脑海里，甚至胸怀里。
