Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
5.0
First line: "There was a boy in her room."
I had so much fun reading this! From reliving Harry Potter obsession, to Cath's fantastic character development, to all the relationships and all the characters, to the unique story line set in college, to the beautifully developed romance between Cath and Levi--I loved it all. But what I loved most and will make me a Rowell fan fo lyfe? Her writing style! There were the greatest cultural asides (although product name-dropping was at an all-time high in this book, unfortunately) that I was smiling along with her wit (see quotes below) and Cath's character had soooo much dimension from her back story to her personality to her relationships. I never wanted this story to end. Can there be a book for every year of college? Although, the ending was quite perfect and provided a perfect arc.
Favorite Quotes:
"'I swear to god, every surviving Volvo produced between 1970 and 1985 is being driven by quirky fictional girls.'" (198)
"'I'd give you the moon right now,' she said. Levi's eyes flashed happily, and he hitches up an eyebrow. 'Yeah, but would you slay it for me?'" (347)
