In Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl, Cath is a Simon Snow fan. Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan, but for Cath, being a fan is her life―and she's really good at it. She and her twin sister, Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just kids; it's what got them through their mother leaving.

Reading. Rereading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow fan fiction, dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere.

Cath's sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath can't let go. She doesn't want to.
Now that they're going to college, Wren has told Cath she doesn't want to be roommates. Cath is on her own, completely outside of her comfort zone. She's got a surly roommate 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.

For Cath, the question is: Can she do this? Can she make it without Wren holding her hand? Is she ready to start living her own life? And does she even want to move on if it means leaving Simon Snow behind?

Review

“Absolutely captivating.” ―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“A funny and tender coming-of-age story that's also the story of a writer finding her voice...touching and utterly real.” ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“The magic here is cast not with wands but with Rowell's incredible ability to build complex, vivid, troubling and triumphant relationships...Fans of Eleanor & Park and other bookish, nerdy types will thrill at finding such a fantastic and lasting depiction of one of their own.” ―Booklist (starred review)

“A charming coming-of-age novel...filled with complex subjects (such as divorce, abandonment, and mental illness) handled in a realistic manner, and the writing effortlessly and seamlessly weaves these threads together.” ―School Library Journal (starred review)

“Eleanor & Park reminded me not just what it's like to be young and in love with a girl, but also what it's like to be young and in love with a book.” ―John Green, The New York Times Book Review on Eleanor & Park

“This sexy, smart, tender romance thrums with punk rock and true love. Teen readers--not to mention their Gen X parents--will swoon for Eleanor & Park.” ―Gayle Forman, New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay and Where She Went on Eleanor & Park

Charming,funny and warm read.

Reviewed in India on 25 February 2016

Fangirl by Rainbow rowell follows Cath and her twin sister wren as they go to university. Cath and wren have always been with eachother they shared a room all their clothes they basically shared everything their entire life but now they are off to college and wren doesn't want to be roommates with cath anymore . So now cath has to deal with this new world on her own.
Cath is obsessed with harry potter like simon snow books. Cath writes fanfiction about the two male characters simon and baz she is quite the star in the fanfiction world. Cath is an introvert instead of interacting with people having the "college" experience she sits in her room writing fanfiction only leaving the room for class.
Cath has to deal with her room-mate reagan who is completely opposite to cath and levi who is reagan's friend and hangs out in their room a lot he develops a friendship with cath. Cath takes writing classes and struggles with origanal writing vs fanfiction. Cath makes friends with a classmate who only wants to talk about words She is worried about her dad who is alone at home and wren with whom her relationship is growing distant . Life is getting hard for cath can she make it without wren ..... Will she leave simon behind like wren is she even ready ?
My take i absolutely loved this book. There was a lot of hype surrounding this book and it lived up to the expectation. Fangirl is real, the romance is real the people are real the issues they deal with are real . In between the chapters there are excerpts from either the fanfiction written by cath or from simon snow books it is unrelated to the story but some how fits in. Rainbow rowell writes an engaging relatable story i could totally identify with cath . After i was done with fangirl cudnt stop fangirling over it.
I am asking you to read it because its not just about fanfiction its charming quick paced read dealing with issues of social anxiety ,family, friendship slow and steady realistic romance taking risks academically and personally.

Fun and thought provoking coming of age novel.

Reviewed in India on 18 September 2018

A well-written coming of age novel, Fangirl follows Cath's journey as she navigates the world of university and discovers her identity separate from that of her twin. Lost completely in a fictional fantasy world, Cath spends most of her time writing fan-fiction revolving around the fictional characters of Simon Snow and his arch enemy Baz. Having grown up as a twin, Cath is more dependent on Wren, seemingly always in her shadow. The abandonment she feels when her mother leaves them, pushes her towards becoming more of an introvert.

This story not only brings out the contrast between the two girls, but it shows us that the world has a lot to offer if we only let it. Cath learns to find her way, forming a weird bond with her roommate, finding love and facing betrayal from a classmate. Dealing with all this makes her stronger and she learns to open up more. We are shown how the girls are quite similar yet different and the reader will come to love all the characters.

The characters are relatable and quite real, making it easy for the reader to understand them. The emotions are real and the events in the story are such that they could easily happen to any of us. On the whole this story is about getting out of one's comfort zone and learning to live. Even though the focus is on Cath, we get a glimpse into who her twin is, how their father is coping with life and how they deal with college and growing up.

A wonderful book in the YA genre, Fangirl is worth picking up and giving in to.

~Do i need to talk about fangirl ¿!! F not !! this book made me high in a effing good way.....everything about this book is so realistic & obviously rainbow’s humor made it freaking awe-inspiring.
~i think people should read “carry on” first & then go for fangirl cuz they’re so many major spoilers for “carry on” in fangirl & if you did love simon & baz then i’m pretty sure you’ll also do love a nerdy girl who writes lots of fanfic about snowbaz in love.
~honestly i’ve read so many rant reviews about this book before.....i think people really don’t get the humor in this, they’re just getting offended for no reason 🤷🏻‍♂️ i just see no reason to hate this gem.
~Anxiety was tackled so well in this book through our main character cath. like there were few moments where it just hit me so hard into my body which made me feel things.....i just teared up & the relationships with family, friendships & also love was perfect....that’s all i’m saying “perfect”
~cath brings us more simon & baz, she’s just literally living through them but then at university she started to notice things maybe that’s cuz of her twin sister “wren” ignoring her all the time at college or maybe it’s cuz of her roommate “Reagan” who feels cath is such a weirdo or maybe it’s Reagan’s boyfriend “Levi” who’s always with this happily-everything-is-bright kinda smile or maybe it’s cath’s new fiction writing partner Nick or maybe just cath is worried about her dad’s health.

Sweet and touching

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2017

What started as a light-hearted story about a young woman's first days at Uni quickly evolved as a thoughtful tale about mental health. Do not be fooled by the cutesy cover. While it is upbeat and quirky, it moves into darker corners of everyday life.

Cath lives and breathes fandom. She and her twin sister Wren devoured a children's fantasy series called Simon Snow. They wrote wreathes of fanfiction, hung out in forums and went to late night book releases. Their obsession grew at the same time their mother had left them. In that sense it was not so much a craze but a way to cope. For Cath, it was not only the option to live in someone else's world, but to have their words become yours. In writing fanfiction, she ensured that the story that comforted her during the painful separation, never ends. This is a notion that really hit home. Cath takes comfort-zone to a whole new level.

As the sisters head off to college, Wren is keen to become independent and live apart. So Cath is faced with a terrifying new life, away from a once inseparable twin and a father who also never fully recovered from the family trauma. We soon realize that this is more than your usual freshmen jitters. Cath has trouble engaging with new environments and people, preferring to almost starve than ask where the food hall is. A big bulk of the novel focuses on how she navigates through this, with the help of some zesty characters and a cute farm boy. This is when the plot slows a little, but the author easily maintains a constant liveliness to the story.

Cath is a very sweet character and I imagine she speaks to many types of 'fangirls'. We all understand how special certain books are, their characters, worlds and most importantly their words. We root for Cath to grow in confidence and independence, not so she can cast away her past but so she can finally create her own stories.

Possibly the most boring book I’ve ever read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 May 2018

Verified Purchase

The story it the most anti climatic, boring story I’ve ever read (and trust me, I’ve read a lot of books!) I really disliked the main character and it was a struggle for me to finish it. The favourite line for this author is “she rolled her eyes” I was rolling my eyes at how much this was said. I didn’t like any of the characters in this book, especially Cather! I thought she was rude and irritating. Considering this book has links to mental health such as social anxiety it was not portrayed properly and the author obviously doesn’t know much about it! I also read Eleanor and Park by Rowell and I found the same problem. Boring, boring, boring. I won’t be reading anymore books by her and if you want a book where something actually happens then don’t read books by Rainbow Rowell!

I have strongly mixed feelings.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 May 2018

Verified Purchase

I heavily disliked the first third of this book. I didn't like Cath as a character - I found her hard to relate to - and I felt like it was being dismissive of fanfiction, portraying it - like Wren or Piper do - as something for lonely, intellectually lazy escapists. But it got better as it went on, as we meet more examples of fandom beyond Cath - the girl in the library, Wren once they reconcile, even Levi to an extent - and realize that Cath is a person, not the author's personification of what it means to be a fan. I like the ultimate message - that you don't have to choose between fandom and serious writing, or between your interests, your friends, and your family. As a story about a girl's first year at university and dysfunctional family relationships, it worked well. 3 star rather than 4 both for the beginning and for little niggles I kept having - mostly Levi's chivalry complex (maybe this is romantic to a straight 18 year old girl, but as a 23 year old queer it made me cringe), and Rainbow Rowell not understanding how college kids talk. Deviant my ass.

Self reflecting

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2019

I've seen a lot of the reviews fof this where the main character was found to be annoying & unsympathetic. But personally I liked & sympathised with her the whole way through, probably as I can relate with the social anxiety aspect of the character & preferring to be stuck in your own thoughts & daydreams.

I found some of the side characters unlikely at first, such as the main character's sister, but by the end of the book she had grown on me.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 August 2020

Cath is your typical 18 year old girl starting college – except she is terrified. She has always had her twin sister, Wren to fall back on. She is the confident one with the social skills that Cath has fallen back on. But now Wren has decided she wants to spread her wings and not to be constantly seen as part of the twin duo anymore and Cath is devastated. Cath has to figure out who she is without her sister’s help.

I love Rainbow Rowell’s books. There has not been one that I have read that I have been disappointed in. She has a brilliant voice for YA fiction. Fangirl is another fantastic example. It I a coming of age novel – my favourite kind – about self discovery and it accurately shows the realities of attending college and the mental strain it can put on people and also the how difficult it can be to find your place.

I really sympathise with Cath. She just seemed like she was spinning so many plates that the entire emotional crash was inevitable. Besides issues of mental health and anxiety, Rowell presents a whole host of other issues for us to bask in such as first love, family disconnect, alcoholism, abandonment. Fangirl really is a multidimensional novel.

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell is available now.
