Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

I absolutely loved this book. When Cath first goes to college she is really nervous and anxious, which I can totally relate to. My second day of college I was still so nervous I threw up during class. Anyways Cath is a relatable character and the author does a good job, in my opinion, balancing Cath and her fandom love and the college experience.

I absolutely adored Reagan and Levi. Cath tries so hard to to become friends with anyone and it happens anyway almost against her will, but she loves it. I think this book did a fantastic job of showing Cath going through college like a normal scared freshman and how typically when you are in a new situation you cling to the familiar and for her that is Simon Snow. I love how the author made Cath grow as a character without making compromises and being able to stay true to herself.

I also like how Wren spiraling out of control affects Cath. She tried to not care that Wren is drinking and partying to much, but it does bother her and she thinks about it a lot and it genuinely concerned. I love how Cath is concerned about her dad and how she is still bitter about her mother leaving.Sorry there was nothing about this book I didn't like. It was light hearted, it was funny, it was deep, and sometimes it was heavy. It just was a good, engaging book. I recommend it to everyone. It's just so good.

Update 9/23/14: I met Rainbow Rowell and she signed my copy of Fangirl!

Life is complete! She was amazing. She talked about her books and some upcoming projects. She is a delight and I want to be friends with her as we could fangirl over many things and probably stay up late drinking cocoa and talking about life. I have also decided Rainbow Rowell is who I want to be when I become a real adult. She's my new role-model along with Miranda Lambert.
