Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

This book was fantastic. I was enchanted from page one. I love Rainbow Rowell's writing style: you get sucked into Cath's head from the start.

I've never related to a character, as much as I did with Cath. We're both in the same stage of our life, we're both quiet, and we don't like crowds. But most of all, I can relate to her PASSION. 
I went through that same thing with Harry Potter. I grew up with those books, waited years for their release, and when the final book came, I couldn't stop crying. I remember reading Dobby's death, and crying my eyes out. I had to stop for a couple of hours, cause I was such an emotional wreck. 
And Simon Snow was to Cath, what Harry Potter was to me. If I could, I would erase all that series from my memory, so I can experience reading it all for the first time again. 
And with this book as well. I have a massive hungover from this book! I will be re-reading it soon! 

I love how Fanfiction was explained in this book. I never really get what it was, and it's clear in here. I understand completely Cath's love for writing in the Simon Snow world. Who wouldn't want to write about their favourite books, and play with its world?
Also, I love how this book shows that there's no age to loving something, as long as it doesn't take over your love. 

I loved Levi! He was the best: the greatest guy, with a huge heart. I loved that he loved life, as passionate as he could. 
It was really interesting how Rowell portraited him: having a reading deficiency, but being a great listener, with an incredible memory. I loved that he listened to audiobooks, because he couldn't focus, and remembered EVERYTHING. 
"Cath realized that she’d started doing Simon and Baz’s voices— at least doing the version of their voices that she heard in her head. She glanced over at Levi to see if he’d noticed. He was holding his cup with both hands against his chest and resting his chin on top, like it was keeping him warm. His eyes were open but unfocused. He looked like a little kid watching TV."
The romance between him and Cath was beautiful. I love that we get to see their relationship progressing, and how they went from friends to something else. 
“You’re not the ugly one.” Levi grinned. “You’re just the Clark Kent.”
Cath started checking her e-mail.
“Hey, Cath,” Levi said, kicking her chair. She could hear the teasing in his voice. “Will you warn me when you take off your glasses?” 

Cath's family is a big topic in this book: we have the workaholic father, the independent wannabe twin, and the absent mother. The absent mother plays a big role: she's what defined every member of the family. All of them changed after she left, that September 11th. 
We see a lot of struggling in the family, cause they all love, and depend on each other a lot, but they try at the same time, to deal with their issues by themselves.  

Reagan was awesome! She was a badass, with a good head on her shoulders. She was very rational, and didn't take any bullshit, and that's what makes her Cath's perfect friend. 
Levi, Reagan and Cath together, were the perfect trio, and their interactions were so funny!

I loved this book very much. I wanted to know more, like if Carry on, Simon was finally released, and what she ends up doing with her life after college, but despite that, I wouldn't change a thing about it. A must read for all of those who love reading, and have that special series, or number of books that they'll never forget, and that they keep safe in their hearts.
