This review is way better when you read it on my blog. It has pretty pictures and GIFs and lists of things I liked! 
 There's something so special about being part of a fandom... and Fangirl described it perfectly, without making it sound super lame. *shoves book in everyone's hands while making seal noises* 
 Rainbow Rowell has quickly become one of my favourite contemporary fiction authors. Like, she may have thrown Stephanie Perkins off the Adorable Romance Queen throne, which is pretty much impossible. 
 When I first got it in the mail, I was a little intimidated by the size of the book. 438 pages is pretty huge for a contemporary, so I had no idea what to expect of this. All I heard was that it was AMAZEBALLS. And it was. It so was. 
 Cath is easily one of my favourite main characters ever. She's funny, she's flawed, and she's a fangirl. She's one of the few characters I've encountered that deal with actual social anxiety that's realistically written, so I could really relate to her in every way. 
 I absolutely loved reading parts of Simon Snow and Cath's fanfiction. It made me wish Simon Snow was real, and with that, Simon Snow fanfiction. If it was, I would be Magicath's biggest fan. 
 I think we all know that Simon Snow is totally based on Harry Potter and it made me feel so nostalgic for the time when there were still books and movies coming out, the fandom was active, and Wizard Rock was a thing. 
 Anyway, Fangirl is definitely more fun if you have read the Harry Potter series and are part of the fandom, but even if you haven't, it's GREAT. (noV")
