Cath and Wren have always loved Simon Snow and are immersed in the world of fanfiction - or at least they were. Simon Snow is simply the biggest thing ever, with a huge fanbase that’s getting crazier and crazier as the publication of the 8th and final book in the series approaches. In the world of Fangirl, Simon Snow is the fictional main character of a series of books set in a magical world. The biggest change of all is the impact of college life on the twins’ obsession with Simon Snow. Now that she’s lost Wren as a roommate and built-in best friend, one of the unwelcome adjustments required in Cath’s new college life is her brash and irritable roommate Reagan, who seems to be constantly shadowed by her best friend Levi, a sunny older boy who is just always around… and who somehow manages to work his way into Cath’s reluctant heart. Ever since their mother left, just after 9/11 when the girls were eight years old, Cath and Wren have kept their dad on an even keel, and Cath is terrified that he’ll lose it without them around every day. On top of that, their dad is not the most stable of guys, tending toward the manic end of the bipolar spectrum without someone around to make sure he’s eating, sleeping, and generally keeping it together. She has no interest in making friends and meeting new people she and Wren have lived together for eighteen years - why stop now?

Cath is a twin, and she and sister Wren have been inseparable their entire lives… until Wren abruptly informs Cath that she wants them to live apart in college, try something new and meet new people. This sweet, funny, charming novel tells the story of Cath Avery, a college freshman who just isn’t quite ready to leave her childhood comforts and touchstones behind. ~educational value - not really anything that comes to mind.Fangirl is so adorable, I didn’t know whether to read it or hug it.

Honestly as a MAJOR fangirl myself, i found this book pretty relatable in the sense of how Cath (mc) is so obsessed with fictional worlds. I usually dont read that much fiction or that type of book, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this book was so cute.

loved to the point of re reading it right when I finished. Cath (cather if you couldnt tell) who is socially awkward and prefers to spend her time writing fan fiction about her favorite series has to balance life with school, her sisters issues, her dad and his mental health, her roomate Reagan and her very interesting friend levi… (insert paragraph ) When inseparable twin sisters cather and wren (yes lol) are off to college, wren the extroverted social fun one wants to be more independent.
