A review by jillmorris
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.
Honestly, I’m just not reading anything past a poorly written attempt to humour sexual assault. The line that I put the book down for good was
p. 53: “It’ll take five minutes, and if you get raped now, it’ll be our fault. I haven’t got time for the pain.” And This occurs after the main character earlier in the book mentions the possibility of being raped by the guy waiting outside of her dorm room for his partner,
 
Fangirl had a great concept, but the topic of sexual assault should be handled with more respect in a YA novel and therefore I am not interested in how this ends.
