I have been a little bit of a Rainbow Rowell fangirl lately, since I tore through Eleanor & Park and became consumed by it.
Fangirl is the story of Cath Avery. Cath is a twin, a college freshman and an internet-famous fanfic author who writes gay slash about a sort of harry potter analogue series.

This was a fun book to read! I loved it! I read most of it in one or two days ... couldn't put it down. I love college romances, and this story took a couple of different directions than I would have originally planned myself. But it worked!
