Fangirl
by Rainbow Rowell
It's Cath's first year of college, and without the support of her twin sister Wren, Cath is socially adrift. She's much better at writing (especially fanfiction about Simon Snow, a Harry Potter-esque book character) than she is at talking to people, so she's surprised to find herself becoming friends with her brash roommate Reagan…and maybe more than friends with Reagan's charming ex-boyfriend, Levi. Members of real-life fandom will appreciate the subtle in-jokes, but anyone can enjoy the smart, snarky dialogue, intense family drama, and endearing romance in this coming of age story.
