Fangirl

This book was about me. Or at least that what it felt like. I am Cath; Cath is me.

Ok, so it's kind of obvious that Simon Snow in “Fangirl” = Harry Potter in our world and that's how I felt like I could really relate to Cath. I was 8 years old when I became the biggest Harry Potter fan, but I wasn't alone - EVERYONE was a Harry Potter fan. But the other people grew out of Harry Potter while I stayed a superfan. And that's still how it is. And that's how it is for Cath even though she's in college now.

As a fangirl, an Aspie and generally a young woman, I felt like Cath could be my twin. We're so similar. And Rainbow Rowell's writing is so ALIVE. The characters are so life-like, so realistic and just generally, yes, alive. I could see them in my mind so clearly. I could see every facial expression, every surrounding, every scene. It was exactly like watching a movie in my mind and that doesn't happen very often - the book has to be really good for that to happen to me.

“Fangirl” is worth every single one of those five stars and I really can't wait to meet Rainbow Rowell next month and get my book autographed.

PS: Can I have my own Levi, please?
