I was so scared reading this book, because I feared the moral at the end would be that fictional worlds are bad for you etc, but that didn't happend and I'm so greatful for that.

This book depictes a fangirl so well, I think I never related to a protagonist this much. I also really like that Cath doesn't have a super strong character development, she stays herself, she is the foundation the other characters can grow on.

For my liking there was a bit too much unchecked homophobia in this book, I wish some characters had commented on how wrong many reactions about gay fanfiction are.
