Fangirl

Fangirl is considered to be a coming of age story for those who are going to be at college and away from home. It follows Cather Avery on her journey of being out of her comfort zone while also balancing the surprises of Wren not being her roommate and their father being alone. Wren suddenly is out partying with other social butterflies and doesn't want anything to do with Cather. On the other hand, her roommate's weird guy friend/boyfriend (she doesn't really know) keeps complimenting her and making her blush. And on top of that, she's trying to keep track of her Simon Snow books which will end at the end of the school year. Will Cather be able to handle the weight of college or will she have to go back home to escape the craziness?

Surprisingly, this one was a recommendation from a close friend up at school who I still keep in contact with! Rainbow Rowell is a new author that's making her mark on the world through novels and comics in the past couple of years. This isn't her first rodeo and it doesn't look like it will be her last. I was a little reluctant to read this since it was realistic fiction and by a author I didn't know. I honestly fell in love with the book and was eager to find other books written by Rainbow Rowell. There is mentions of drinking and other implications but is otherwise a good read.
