Amazing book about a young girl learning of life and herself. Briony's interaction with books is one I've had myself many times- a great love affair. And I love seeing a parent-child relationship being repaired.

Oh good, another book to reassure me that my strangeness is shared with others! I may not go as far as Briony, but fandom is definitely in my blood. Is it normal to totally obsess and fantasize about magic and favorite, not-real characters? I don't know about normal, but it happens! Briony LOVES a character in her favorite book series. Her life revolves around it. So when the final book in the series comes out, and she finishes reading it, then what? Everyone tells her to get her head out of the clouds, magic isn't real, and to focus on real life, but Briony just won't accept it. She has to find out of magic and spirits are real, or else the real world is going to be super boring.
