A very relatable read.


Cath had always been an introvert. Avoiding parties, conversations and a chance to meet friends. When she and her twin sister – Wren – got into college, she’s forced out of her comfort zone and tries to survive things on her own.

I couldn’t keep myself from reading the book at first. It was equally funny and weird at the same time. By the time I got in the middle though, I started dozing off – nothing exciting or enthralling was happening – but

“Words are very powerful and they take on more power the more that they’re spoken.… the more that they’re said and read and written...”

Rainbow Rowell's writing is simply (as Cath would say) magic. I found myself soooo engrossed in this book I just couldn't stop reading it. The Uni world, Baz and Simon world, it just seemed so real. The characters! Oh my, these characters were soooo (1 more time) REAL! Cath and Levi are just the perfect most unique and down to earth characters I've ever encounter

I really really liked it, but Cath annoyed me sometimes. She was just so damn anti-social and so closed to new things. I mean I get it, but she never tried to be open to them. She was just so scared of coming out of her shell that the thought never occurred to her to try. She was missing out on so much like, oh I don't know...life?

I can relate to this book a lot and that's part of why I like it. Every single detail of this book is just fantastic. I love the characters, the idea, the different plot twists, and the Simon Snow fanfics :) I also LOVE Rainbow Rowell's writing style in general. The ending was kinda suckish, but I get why the author ends her books like that now. It is up to YOU and US to decided what will happen next in our own little fanfic site that is our creative and imaginative mind. I love it!

P.S. I staye

HANDS DOWN. this book is so good, and I feel like I've never felt so engaged to a main character as much as I was to Cath. I could feel what she was feeling, her awkwardness, her joy, her sadness, oh my God. this book is so relatable and once again, there were so many parts in this book which I could totally relate to. I love this book so dearly. and it was hard not to fall in love with Levi. ...more
