"Fangirl" by Rainbow Rowell

Description

New. Never used. Includes the original bookmark. Item for sale. No exchanges accepted. Synopsis: Cath loves her books and her family. Is there room for anyone else? Everyone is a fan of Simon Snow’s books. But Cath goes further: being a fan of these books has become her life. She and her twin sister, Wren, took refuge in Simon Snow’s stories as children, and in fact, that refuge saved them from the emotional devastation caused by their mother’s death. Reading. Rereading. Interacting on forums, writing fan fiction based on Simon Snow’s books, dressing up as characters from the books. But these fantasies lose meaning as one grows up, and while Wren easily abandons this refuge, Cath cannot—and does not want to. Now that they are heading off to university, Wren does not want to share a dorm room with Cath. Cath is left alone and outside her comfort zone. She shares a room with an arrogant girl; has a professor who disdains her interests; an attractive classmate who only talks about the beauty of words… and, on top of all this, Cath cannot stop worrying about her beloved, fragile, and lonely father. The question hangs in the air: Can she succeed without Wren holding her hand? Is she ready to live life on her own terms? To write her own stories? And what if that means leaving Simon Snow behind?
