Now, I'll admit I dive into fanfiction every once in a while and that I will live on some of the fictional worlds of my favorite books, but I don't do it as much as Cath. She and her sister, Wren, spend most of their time writing fanfiction for their favorite series, Simon Snow (similar to Harry Potter).
When they go to college and Wren starts to branch out, Cath hides in her writing, Cath learns she must leave the comfortable world of Simon and live in the real world around her, including and tough roommate and her overly friendly buddy, her writing professor turning away everything she turns in and Wren wanting to reconnect with their birth mother. This book is one of the best books to read before you leave for college to prepare you for leaving home and having the confidence to do you.
There are three books I make a point to read every year, Beastly by Alex Flinn, the Harry Potter series, and Fangirl. I'm not super into contemporary but this is my favorite. There is just something about the community of fangirls and fanboys now with so many different genres, being books, movies, shows, etc. but this book just speaks at a level that can reach so many people. I can't wait for my yearly jump into this world and fall back in love with all these characters.
Pros:
Totally relatable to today's youth
Cons:
None. It's perfect
