the audiobook for this story was really good! I enjoyed her characterization of the characters like Rhegan and Liam, and i throughly enjoyed the family dynamic and each of them individually. it was a slower middle section, but listening to the story really sped it up, and the beginning and end to this book were super strong!! Once the main couple got together, i’m glad each got to focus on side stories and other lessons through to the end! i’m also really about about the simon snow chapters and fanfic stuff, it was so interesting to see how it was incorporated in this book. I kinda wanna reread those books again just to compare🥴🥴

I absolutley love this book! Cather is awkward in a way that's relatable and endearing. In a clinical sense, Cath would be diagnosed with social anxiety and Levi with dyslexia. So, I truly appreciate that Rainbow Rowell is shedding light on these conditions.

I can relate to Cath's first semester in college, being an introvert myself. And that's what's endearing about the characters, they're relatable, real. I was rooting for them, laughing with and at them, and crying for them.

I enjoyed how this books focuses on love; love of fan fiction, words, writing, work, people. And the fact that there is foul language sprinkled throughout the book is an A+ in my book! 👌

i loved, i laughed and i cried but at the end i was left with this emptiness that i will never be able to read abou more of Cath, levi, Wren, Reagan story.
this book spoke to me, understood me and make me feel everything that it was supposed to. I wish i could take everyone on a journey inside of my head so it would be easier for all of us to understand what it actually meant to me.

This is a very good book! I read happy books to even out the sad and in this situation I read fangirl as my happy book and heir of fire as my sad one !
And it was ended a feel good book especially if you are a fangirl ;)
It makes you laugh and it made me understand things like boys, friends and love a little better ! It was all around a fangirl guide to life !

I don't know what's it about Rainbow Rowell's books, but it keeps me captivated from the very first line.
