Publisher's Summary

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.

A Perfect Feel Good Book

I've been three books deep into a fantasy series and needed a break to regroup. Fangirl was a good feel good book with good believable characters and story line. If your looking for something light hearted that touches on some deeper life issues, try this book.

I Was In Love Before I Was Even 5 Chapter's In

I was in love with this story before I was even five chapter's in. I absolutely love this story to bits. Levi and Cath are so cute and I love them. I will definitely be listening to this book again. I almost want to start the book again. This book describes me almost perfectly as I'm a FFN writer and it just absolutely perfect. I got Carry On because of cause I did.

Brilliant. Would recommend forever.

Brilliant. Captivating. Real. For anyone who has ever fallen in love with a character, for anyone who has had times where they felt like the real world was uninviting or overwhelming. Characters you understand, relate, understand and love. Hooked, sad it's over and recommended.

Love

as a twin, I could definitely see myself in Cath and Wren's complicated relationship. Cath's immaturity and single-mindedness could get frustrating but it was clearly an intentional character flaw and was also very realistic. I would love love love to see a book about her dad!

Not my usual read but I loved it so much!

I loved this so much! The fact that it wasn't based on sci-fi and fantasy but I still enjoyed it so much means 5 stars. The prose was written so well at times - great evening read to listen to, the descriptive rhythm lulled my anxiety to a gentle sway. I love Cath and Levi so much! I'd date either of them I'm crushing so hard - but in the end they are perfect for each other. I love Reagan so much too! She's a no shits given bad ass with a warm heart. I warmed up to Wren at the end and I thought Art was the perfect blend between 'cool-dad' and 'not-a-Gary-Stu'. I could go on but honestly Rainbow did a brilliant job of making you feel exactly about the characters as you should. The scenes that pulled the heartstrings feel real - both good and bad ones. The potentially mushy scenes were romantic without being an eyerolling cliché. The read was kinda slow but I think it was a character driven story so that's ok. It wasn't painful slow. I saw a lot of myself in the characters and learnt alongside Cath in her experiences. The narration of this audiobook (I put down the actual book to listen to it halfway through - eyes sore from the flu) was actually really nice and the right mix of calm while still keeping the emotions. I love it, thank you so much to Rainbow and the narrator.

Levi!

This took me a REALLY long time to get into, I was recommended by a friend who loves this author. At first I couldn’t like Cath her character irritated me but slowly slowly I got to understand her.
Also the Simon Snow parts at first confused me and I think they do go on too long and they’re not all really necessary.
Give it a go is all I can say it was nice and Levi is definitely boyfriend goals.
