Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell / Book Review

     If you are a "book nerd" like myself, Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, will for sure appeal to you.  Cather and Wren are twins (get it..."Cather - rine") who are starting their freshman year of college and are huge fans of the Simon Snow series.  Simon Snow reminds me a lot of the Harry Potter series with it's magic and wizardry. The book details the sisters' first year of college, their interactions with friends/roommates, boys, and their father and their struggle to transition from childhood to adulthood. Throughout the book Rowell gives you excerpts from the Simon Snow series as told by it's actual author GTL and excerpts from fanfic written by "Magicath" and Wrenigade". The plot of the book centers around the girls' love of Simon Snow and how their lives seemingly revolve around the books.   As told from the POV of Cath, book lovers can relate to the powerful world of fiction, and how it can pull you into it's magical arms and make you forget the world you're living in. 
     Up next on my reading list is Attachments, also by Rainbow Rowell.
