Book Details
Description
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, 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 fanfiction, 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 fanfiction 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?

I was so ready not to like this book,given the fact that there are lots of good reviews on it,and usually I end up not liking books which I had read so many good reviews on.But this book lived up to my expectations. I couldn't put it down,and when I had to,it was a very hard thing to do.I really liked the the father and daughter, and twin sisters relationships.I liked how close they were as a family,and how they got over their problems. I really liked their father,he was just adorable and I felt for him. I couldn't understand their mother at all! Reagan was also a favorite,she acted like a big mean sister,but actually she was very caring and considerate.Having like this book, I had a bit of problem with Levi, I couldn't understand him at all. In my opinion,he was a very sweet guy, but come on, there is no such a guy in real world,such a guy can only exist in books. I have never read a fanfiction,let alone a slash fanfiction.I didn't even know Harry/Draco slash exists.I felt really really uncomfortable about this whole slash idea.Not a fan! And , mostly I skipped those parts and pretended they don't even exist. Apart from that, I really liked this book,and I am willing to read more books by this author, not so sure about her adult books,though! I definitely want to read Eleanor and Park in near future!
Dit boek was een rollercoaster. Er waren stukke die ik mooi vond, stukken die ik niet zo mooi vond. Het was traag en traag soms. Ik miste een doel geloof ik.
