This is the story about a girl named Cather who is starting college with her twin sister, Wren. Cather is a writer, and writes a very popular fan fiction about two characters from her favorite book series, Simon Snow. This book is about her life at college, her love for writing, and the people she meets there including her interesting roomate, Reagan, her friend Levi, and a boy named Nick. 
 Everyone has heard about this book. The hype around it was mainly because the main character writes her own fan fiction, something that is new and relatable to a lot of the internet these days. This is the reason I picked up it. I was excited, I wanted to see how someone would write about someone writing fan fic. And I was more or less disappointed. 
 Character wise, Cather (Cath) is a great character. As a writer (when I have the time to write) I was able to understand a lot of the things so she was going to when it came to her writing, and how some of her thought process was. She really was an awesome character and I love her. 
 But the story as a whole was...disappointing. It focused on whether Cath would get over Simon Snow, and then just kinda...didn't. This book was hyped around being a book about fandom but was only for about 2 chapters. Then it took off into something that I didn't sign up for. 
 Now, as for my pros and cons: 
 > 
 Pros: it's something different, I enjoyed the whole "writing about someone writing fan fic" and Cath in general was just great. I loved seeing the twin's dad also play a role in the story the way he did. I always enjoy Rowell's writing and found this story was no different. 
 Cons: didn't like Wren as a character at all, just to start off. Or Levi. I'm probably going to be the only one to say this but I just didn't like him. After what happened in chapter 16, I stopped liking him. And I know that might seem wrong because this book is 38 chapters long. But that's the personal connection I made with this book. I don't forgive people easily and that includes characters in books, tv shows, movies. I wasn't able to get over what happened but I feel like if I was Cath instead of just reading this in a book, I would have. But I wasn't able to really trust Levi after that so I found everything afterwards to be very meh. 
 All in all, I give this book 2 stars, mostly 3, because of how much I love Cather and the fan fic writing storyline, but also because of my feelings towards Levi and the rest of the book.
