Fangirl

In Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl, Cath is a devoted Simon Snow fan. She and her twin sister, Wren, have been immersed in the Simon Snow series since they were kids, and it's what got them through their mother leaving. Cath is a master of fandom, spending her time in Simon Snow forums, writing fan fiction, and dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere. While Wren has moved on, Cath can't let go of her beloved fandom. Cath's passion for Simon Snow is a testament to the power of fandom and the strength of her bond with her sister.

Cath is starting college, but she's not prepared for the challenges that come with it. She's got a surly roommate, a fiction-writing professor who doesn't understand fan fiction, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words, and a loving but fragile father who's never been alone. With all of these obstacles, Cath is completely outside of her comfort zone. But she's determined to make the best of it and find her place in this new world. A New York Times Book Review Notable Children's Book of 2013, this is a story about finding yourself and learning to embrace the unknown.
