About this eBook
A love story about opening your heart, by Rainbow Rowell, the New York Times bestselling author of Eleanor & Park.
Cath and Wren are identical twins, and until recently they did absolutely everything together. Now they're off to university and Wren's decided she doesn't want to be one half of a pair any more – she wants to dance, meet boys, go to parties and let loose. It's not so easy for Cath. She's horribly shy and has always buried herself in the fan fiction she writes, where she always knows exactly what to say and can write a romance far more intense than anything she's experienced in real life.
Without Wren, Cath is completely on her own and totally outside her comfort zone. She's got a surly room-mate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words . . . And she can't stop worrying about her dad, who's loving and fragile and has never really been alone.
Now Cath has to decide whether she's ready to open her heart to new people and new experiences, and she's realizing that there's more to learn about love than she ever thought possible . . .
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell comes with special bonus material; the first chapter from Rainbow's irresistible novel Carry On.

Im not the best of critics but I was a bit bored after a while. it wasn't exciting enough for me. I won't remember what it was about in a few weeks. Some people found it funny and that's why I purchased but I didn't find it funny one bit.

I read this as a Young Adult, and still couldn't relate to any part of this
book. I don't think Rainbow Rowell's works are my cup of my tea.

Wanted to enjoy this but found the characters quite one dimensional and to be stereotypes. As an adult reading YA I appreciate perhaps I'm just not the audience for it as it seems well loved.
