Book Nook: Fangirl

This past week I finished another book. (14 so far this year, woo!)

I found this book on one of the may "YOU SHOULD READ THIS" lists that circumventilate the internet though the year. You know the ones - "Christmas Reading List", "Books to Read Before You Go To College", "Teen Books", etc.

Well, this one had some elements that I was familiar with:
   - College Freshman
   - Writes FanFiction
   - Ignores Everyone
    - Introvert


While I am no longer a college freshman, and the others may or may not apply, I decided to check out this book.

.....

I think I just made a bad library pun.....


Book Title: "Fangirl"
Author: Rainbow Rowell
GoodReads Site: Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell


My brief little synopsis/opinion:

Cath is a twin.

She and Wren used to do everything together, including writing fanfiction for their favorite book series, "Simon Snow".

Now that they're in college, they live separately, and don't talk as much.

Writing fanfiction helps Cath to sorta stay grounded. It's the thing that's constant in her life as everything is changing.


Experience your freshman year of college all over again through they eyes of a girl who's just trying to write her story while taking classes, ignoring boys, writing stories with boys, keeping her sister from passing out, keeping tabs on her dad, and trying to make sense of where she stands in the world.


I would recommend this to anyone who love to write; who's been on the nerve-wracking side of dealing with new roommates; who's lived in the dorms; who's ever had that sliver of doubt about life.


Go check out, "Fangirl".
