 Review: I started picking Fangirl up two years ago because it was recommended by my friend. I thought right this was okay, not amazing, but seriously cute though. Second time reading, I still find this book super cute and heartwarming, but there were some things I wasn't enjoying very much. Let's get on with it. 
 Fangirl follows our main character Cath who is a writer of a fanfiction called Carry On and she's starting her Freshman year as well. She has a twin sister and they always do stuff together, but when college starts, Wren wants to meet new people. So, Cath ended up with a junior roommate, Reagan. Her life revolves around the fanfiction that she's writing and also the reality of coming of age that she's facing. 
 The writing of this book suits well with its genre/plot. I really liked Rowell's writing. It made this book faster and more fun. I honestly finished this book faster than the majority of books I read these days. Also, it made me want to put my soul out to reading more contemporary. I really liked that there were descriptions of food such as Starbucks and burritos. Now I want to go eat Mexican food and drink Starbucks for the rest of my life. Despite the writing being cute and shit, I really don't care for the Simon Snow's story at the end of every chapter. They were boring; to put piece and piece of a story in like that were very confusing to the point that I wouldn't want to read them anymore. 
 In my opinion, the plot in the book was really good and the story line flows so well. I really adore the family dynamics between Cath and her father because they were just so cute. I was also entertained by the romance between Levi and Cath; they both were adorable. Although that, I just couldn't get the point of submitting a fanfiction to a professor. Very unprofessional. In my experience as a teenager, I didn't read fanfiction and I did take a few glimpse and some that I would say that it's not my thing. So, I didn't grow up like Cath did, but I totally understand her passion for fanfiction. What I don't get in this book was the equivalent of Simon Snow to Harry Potter. Like what's the difference? Not to say they also mentioned Harry Potter in, which I don't see the point at all. Two hundred first pages of this book involved so much Cath being a fangirl and the other half was just reality seeping in and the fangirl slowly faded. So, this book is more coming of age book than a fangirl one. 
 Cath is an anti-social. She has anxiety and she didn't want to make friends or get out of her room. I can relate to her in a way, but I don't eat energy bars because I am afraid to order food. She's not the best protagonists, but to me she's okay. I liked that she cared about her dad more than anything, but that also made me feel that Wren was bad twin to make Cath look good. Speaking of Wren, she annoyed me so much. She was whinny and idiotic, but like I said, probably to save Cath's face. Levi was so adorable. I always loved that he teased Cath all the time and the relationship between the two was quirky as well. 
 Overall: I enjoyed a lot of parts in this book. I don't love it, it is fine. I feel like anyone who is just getting into college would adore this book so much.
