Cath’s whole life has always been about Fan Fiction. She spends her time re-creating the world of Simon Snow the way that she wants it, with her twin sister Wren. But when she leaves for college she has a sudden realization that maybe her fan novel Carry On isn’t the only thing that’s important in life. In fact both her sister, her roommate, and her English teacher all seem to think that it’s time she got her head out of the Simon Snow universe and start living life. But Cath is not ready to leave Simon Snow and her beautiful fan world behind.
This is a story for Fangirls all around the world and is about staying true to what you love to do and also taking risks. Fangirl is a beautifully written novel that will spark deep emotions and have you sympathizing and crying along with the vivid characters. Raw and powerful, the plot line seems so real that you’ll become a Simon Snow fan right along with Cath. Fangirl is a book everyone should read at least once in their life.
If you enjoyed Rainbow Rowell’s writing and dialogue, try Eleanor & Park, also by Rainbow Rowell.
Or if you want to see Cath’s fan-fic novel and follow the magical world of Baz and Simon, read Carry On by Rainbow Rowell.
