I don't think I have enough words to describe how much I love Fangirl. I read it first as a freshman in high school and today almost 10 years later I still love it just as much if not more. I was so afraid to reread it but it held up so well. I really enjoyed listing to the the audiobook this time, it added a lot to the story, especially switching narrators to add a distinction between Cath's story and her writing.
Cath, Levi, and Regan are so interesting and unique. Cath is shy and doesn't want to make any friends when she starts college. She only cares about writing Carry On. Levi lights up every room and is the definition of perfect. Regan is snarky and sassy and I love her friendship with Cath. But of course they aren't perfect and that's why I love them so much, they feel so real.
My only real negative is that I wish it was longer. I feel like there could have been more at the end and it was a little rushed.

I really enjoyed this book! Cath was such a relatable, lovable character as were many of the others. I also liked the coming-of-age aspects of this story. Overall, it was a wonderful, fun book and I would definitely recommend it.

A good reminder that sometimes pushing through initial misgivings rewards with a better story than I might presume. A disc or two in, I thought I had taken this book's measure, and while I didn't find it bad, I believed it not really for me. Fortunately, in this case I stayed with it and found more and more to appreciate. Granted, I'm not the target audience, and there were elements that annoyed, but overall I quite admire the depiction of college transition (one of the more realistic characterizations I've encountered) and personal empowerment. Also intriguing for the exploration of the fanfic world, and the inclusion of the professor's perspective added thoughtful complexity.
audiobook note: Rebecca Lowman has a distinctive style, and it enhances the characterization of Rowell's heroines. Maxwell Caulfield's sections were successful as well; he clearly enjoyed throwing himself into the storyteller-style camp of the Simon Snow passages.
