Fangirl

A tale of the coming-of-age fan fiction, family and first love. Cath is a Fan of Simon Snow. All right, the whole world is a fan of Simon Snow. But for Cath, being a fan is her life—and she's really good at it. When they were just kids, she and her twin sister, Wren, settled down in the ... Simon Snow series; that's what made them leave through their mother. Lesing. Reading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow fan fiction for every movie premiere, dressing up like the characters. Cath's sister has grown out of fandom for the most part, but Cath cannot let go. She doesn't want to. Wren has told Cath she doesn't want to be roommates now that they're going to college. Cath is alone, totally out 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 just wants to talk about words.. And she can't stop worrying about her father, who's loving and fragile and never really was alone. The question, for Cath, is: Can she do this? Can she do it, without holding Wren's hand? Is she ready to begin a life of her own? Writing tales of her own? And if that means leaving Simon Snow behind, does she even want to move on?
