Looking back on it now though I do have to agree with some of your views on the book such as the Simnon and Baz chapters becoming overkill - yeah I was getting a bit tired of them, Cat's OTT obsessions with Harry potter, the one dimensional aspct of fangirling etc. Levi and Reagan were awesome though and their characters were my favs! The family scenes were great too!Alecia https://www.blogger.com/profile/17069093828653614906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820247772985819255.post-48020374139265365182016-01-11T07:52:32.228-08:002016-01-11T07:52:32.228-08:00I loved Fingirl!

It confused the daylights out of me when Harry Potter WAS mentioned because I thought it was being parodied through Simon??? Idk. It was weird. Also Cath and her whole outlook towards her writing project and her inability to write anything NOT fanfiction. Her teacher gave her so many opportunities and she just wasn't grateful. It pissed me off xDAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018078011937292572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820247772985819255.post-55670550843241889672015-05-26T10:45:04.437-07:002015-05-26T10:45:04.437-07:00Glad you liked this book it's one of my favori...Glad you liked this book it's one of my favorites<br />and Great reviewAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511970044999373087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820247772985819255.post-44893762518336811942015-04-08T09:35:20.380-07:002015-04-08T09:35:20.380-07:00Thanks for the review.

I have never read or written fanfac, but I enjoyed that aspect of her character. I didn't realize it was so "one dimensional" as you described, but looking back, I totally agree with you. I love Star Trek and Star Wars and Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. I can like multiple fandoms. I love reading your reviews.

I was a little bit of a fangirl before. Like I've read fan fiction (but did not write any), collect posters, join online communities, etc.<br /><br />Kudos for your honest review. Despite your small frustrations about the book, I think it's still worth reading just to see how Cath's development unfold.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168076606923869958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820247772985819255.post-52386384210374048322015-03-26T17:18:27.934-07:002015-03-26T17:18:27.934-07:00I haven't read this book yet,but I saw and rea...I haven't read this book yet,but I saw and read great things about Fangirl :)<br />Your review is great,thank you for sharing your thoughts with us,sounds interesting this book :)Bubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08325830971382857101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820247772985819255.post-20728598155297204082015-03-23T10:52:19.580-07:002015-03-23T10:52:19.580-07:00Totally agree with you.

So far, I liked all the books I read from Rowell. It was a nice change from all the other books that are coming out nowadays. :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489939211572408257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820247772985819255.post-83641037519552527322015-03-23T04:35:30.181-07:002015-03-23T04:35:30.181-07:00I really liked Fangirl because I could relate to i...I really liked Fangirl because I could relate to it, not being that sociable myself. However I have to agree with you, the fanfiction in the story got in the way and I felt like there was no really point to it.paperbackprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446601964387517150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820247772985819255.post-56543621215370072102015-03-22T23:44:15.455-07:002015-03-22T23:44:15.455-07:00This was a surprise hit for me.

Though I'm not as passionate a fangirl as she is, I could understand her on that level too. Apparently the author is releasing a book on Simon?? I saw that on her Goodreads page: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23734628-carry-on?from_search=trueSoudhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072610823260769918noreply@blogger.com
