Fangirl

By Rainbow Rowell

Release Date: September 10, 2013

Summary: A coming-of-age tale of fan fiction, family and first love. 

Cath is a Simon Snow fan.

Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan . . .

But for Cath, being a fan is her life — and she’s really good at it. She and her twin sister, Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just kids; it’s what got them through their mother leaving.

Reading. Rereading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow fan fiction, dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere.

Cath’s sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath can’t let go. She doesn’t want to.

Now that they’re going to college, Wren has told Cath she doesn’t want to be roommates. Cath is on her own, completely outside of her comfort zone. She’s got a surly roommate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words . . . And she can’t stop worrying about her dad, who’s loving and fragile and has never really been alone.

For Cath, the question is: Can she do this? Can she make it without Wren holding her hand? Is she ready to start living her own life? Writing her own stories?

Or will she just go on living inside somebody else’s fiction?

YAY!!!! Another Rainbow Rowell book! I could not be more excited to read another book by this amazing author. I recently read Eleanor & Park and I am so obsessed with how quirky and adorable it was. When I saw this one was coming out, I immediately added it to my to-read list and obsessed over the summery. I guess you could call it a New Adult book, but I'm excited about the fact that she's going to college and having to figure out about life on her own. And who's this handsome classmate? I can't wait to find out :)
