Where was this book when I first started college? Seriously, this explains so much of my life it's ridiculous! I waited forever to read Fangirl, and honestly it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Which totally isn't a bad thing! 
 The Good Stuff 
 I really liked Cath. She was quirky, awkward, smart, sensible...etc. Bottom line: she was awesome and I could really relate to her. Levi was just perfect; Cath couldn't have found herself a better guy. Reagan was hilarious and snarky and I absolutely loved her! 
 This was my first Rainbow Rowell book, and I am completely taken with her writing style. It's so different from anything I've ever read and I want to see more of it! Her story was so...real. She captured the essence of a person who is so involved with a fandom and what it feels like when the books or movies of that fandom come to an end. She also really nailed the whole college for an introvert thing on the head. I felt like I was reading my own experiences from my first year of college. Seriously, I could've used this book that year. 
 The Not-So-Good Stuff 
 Alright, so I thought it was kind of hilarious and witty at first when I realized Simon Snow was a parody of Harry Potter. But then I kept having to read the actual story of Simon Snow and I got bored. I wouldn't have minded the little excerpts that Cath read to Levi, but the portions in between the chapters were too much. They were boring and strange and kind of unimportant to the story. 
 Wren. I thought she was a horrible sister to Cath and she was so full of herself. Also, Cath totally had a point about their mom! Wren and her bad decisions... 
 My Overall Thoughts About Fangirl 
 This was awesome! It was relatable, well-written, and flat-out fun. The characters were wonderful and I would absolutely die if there is ever a sequel. I would love to see how Cath does in her later years of college. Well done, Rainbow Rowell. Well done.
