I had never come across another character I related to as much or as painfully: Cath disappears into her reading and writing. I still am, kind of, but I’m not in my first year of college anymore. When I first read Fangirl, I was pretty much Cath.
Things Cath has to deal with include a tough fiction-writing teacher, her intimidating roommate Reagan, Reagan’s alarmingly charming maybe-boyfriend Levi, and the expectations of thousands of readers who are waiting with baited breath for Cath’s fanfiction of the popular Simon Snow series. She all but disappears from Cath’s life by throwing herself into the college experience, leaving Cath to deal with things on her own. Cath had expected to have her twin sister Wren to provide a buffer between her and the rest of the world, but Wren has other plans.
Also, picking it gave me an excuse to reread it, which is always fun.įangirl follows 18-year-old Cather Avery during her first year of college. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell has been one of my favorite books for a long time, and because it is a book about loving books (well, one book/series in particular) I thought it would be a good one for my YA book club.
