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. The relationships in her life are difficult and her skills at navigating them are bumbling and awkward at best.

I am not loving this, but I can understand the reasons so many do. I don't relate to the characters for the most part, and I feel like that might be a big point in this book. I am not a fan of Harry Potter, have never read the books, and only watched a few of the movies. The Simon Snow character of this book plays to every Harry Potter fan wanting more.

This is quintessential Rainbow Rowell. Which is to say: if you like books by Rainbow Rowell, you will love this book. I did have the occassional nagging feeling that I'd read it before, because the characters have a lot of similarities, especially, to the characters in "Eleanor and Park", but I liked those characters.
