Fangirl

I will confess that I've never written fan-fiction, and have only read a few stories. That said, I don't think this book is about fan-fiction, so much as (when it succeeds) about moving in to a new stage of life, and the fears, failures and triumphs that doing so can entail. Cather resonated with me–the overwhelming feeling that going to college can engender, the weight of having some social anxiety, the fun and fear of falling for somebody when you're 18.

I also mostly liked how Rowell included and dealt with mental illness in this book.
