Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
3.0
Rating: ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ (3.5)
This book is relatable for anyone who's ever felt wrapped up in a book or a fandom. The story follows Cath, a college freshman who's super into her favorite book series and writes fanfiction. It's all about her trying to navigate her first year at college, which is as scary as exciting.
The author nails the feeling of being a fan and the passion that comes with it. Cath's struggles with her identity, making friends, and dealing with family felt real, and many people could see themselves in her. The way the book handles her relationship with her twin sister, Wren, and their dad is also really touching and adds much to the story.
That being said, sometimes the pacing felt a bit slow, and some of the side characters weren't it. The romance didn't really grab me.
