Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
4.0

I really enjoyed this book. Overall, I found the main character compelling, the new people she met interesting, and I LOVED her roommate.

Rainbow Rowell has a gift for creating sweet and heart warming romances, that also feel very real, without being melodramatic.

There were a lot of subtle things that I think helped make this book great. Small touches to the description of freshmen year, which really rang true. Such as mentioning you could pick freshmen out by the way the dressed to class, and the fact that they still made time for make up before class. Or the small things no one teaches you about college, like the unspoken rules in the Cafe.

My one issue with this book was that the ending came really fast, it seemed like many of the loose ends where tied up, but quickly, which was a little disappointing. Not enough to not make me recommend it to all my friends though!
