Fangirl

This was my introduction to Rowell, about whom I've read a lot of buzz online. It was decent enough that I'll read more. But I was a bit disappointed because of too much hype.

The story drags at times. Honestly, the book didn't need to be as long as it was. It didn't need the long excerpts of Simon Snow. Or at least not as many of them. I wanted more characterization of Reagan and less of the Snow brigade. Cath also didn't engage me as much as I wanted her to.

That said, I enjoyed the family drama elements. In fact, I could have used more of them. More of the other characters plotlines and less lovey-dovey romance with Cath and Levi. I got the point.

Still, it was sweet and and enjoyable, and the parts I liked I liked quite a bit.
