Cath is off to college, and it marks the first time she's on her own and, more intimidating, the first time she won't be spending nearly every waking moment in the company of her twin sister. Her roommate doesn't seem to like her, her…

I am disappointed. I really truly tried to like this book. In fact, it even got me excited at a point in the plot, but that faded away just as easily as it came. The book relates to the protagonist, named Cath, who is a grand fangirl and…

This was my favorite book when I was in high school, back in 2016 !! Levi was the perfect book boyfriend, and made me compare all other book male leads to him. Reading about a girl reading and writing fanfiction left me feeling very…

I'll be honest with you: I just read this for the Snowbaz. I read the entire Carry On series BEFORE Fangirl. Fangirl was very well written and I enjoyed reading it, but I didn't really like Cath as a character. I may or may not actually…

Age: 14+ Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell is the perfect lighthearted, but young adult novel. It has complex, well-developed characters who you are bound to fall in love with. It is quirky and fun as you follow the life of a girl addicted to…

Cath and her twin sister, Wren, have been Simon Snow fans almost all their lives. They read and write fanfiction about the series, and it was what got them through the struggles they faced when their mother left them. Overtime, Wren has…

What started as a light-hearted story about a young woman's first days at Uni quickly evolved as a thoughtful tale about mental health. Do not be fooled by the cutesy cover. While it is upbeat and quirky, it moves into darker corners of…

A sweet, honest and relatable story. Anyone who has ever felt socially awkward will identify with the main character, Cath. It is a coming-of-age story that would be fantastic to read when starting college. It has realistic, likeable…

Was expecting a different ending... It was fun at the beginning but at the end I just lost interest on the book.

I first read this at the beginning of my freshman year of college, and I related to Cath so much that it weirded me out. (Especially because we have the same last name.) I didn’t write fanfic, but I did write, and like Cath, I was studying…

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell is amazing. Wren and Cath are twin sisters who are polar opposites in terms of their personalities. Both girls go to college and split apart. Cath, who is very much an introvert, finds love while helping her…

I thought Fangirl was/is brilliant. Author Rainbow Rowell skillfully narrates the story of Cath, a first year student at the U of Nebraska burdened with a hostile roommate and an author of Simon Snow, popular online fanfiction set at a…

So...I had really high expectations, and I think that was my first mistake. I didn’t hate it, I actually quite enjoyed it, but I took a star away because I hated Cath for the first ⅔ of the book. She was immature, winey, scared of…

Cath has been writing fanfiction about Simon Snow ever since she read the first book in the series about him, and it has not only made her an excellent writer, but has also earned her a very large fan base online. Her twin sister, Wren,…

Fangirl is definitely a cutesy, quick read, perfect for curling up with on cold days under the covers. The story deals with college freshman Cather (Cath for short) learning to adapt to her new, more independent life, as she struggles with…

The book Fangirl reminds me of my first time at middle school, like a box full of surprises. Cath is a college freshman, but is having a tough time since she has to do everything by herself from making friends, preparing for finals to all…

A quirky, offbeat story about fanfiction, finding yourself, and finding others.

I'm not usually a huge fan of YA books but this author just sucks me into their books! This one was so sweet and funny
