Fangirl

Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell Jan 10, 2015
Book review is up on Word Revel.

Dec 29, 2014
Initial thoughts: Fangirl was funny and sweet and wonderful. I've hardly come across books set in college that weren't heavy on the romance. This book was about Cath who tried to find herself, even though she felt she was losing everything dear to her—her high school boyfriend, her father and most painfully, her twin sister Wren. It was about pursuing one's passion; in Cath's case, writing fanfiction. It was also about gaining trust in other people like her roommate Reagan and Reagan's friend, Levi. The only parts that I didn't much care for were the stories of Simon Snow, be it the fanfiction or canon. I liked reading about Cath's feelings and thoughts about Simon Snow but not so much the actual written pieces.
