![]() ![]() We eventually learn how Cath perceives the situation in retrospect, yet we do not feel the consequences. Do we really learn anything regarding how Cath felt when her mother left? Not really. ![]() For instance, the difficulties Cath experiences are exemplified lightly and given little acknowledgement. ![]() Cath’s college experience seems more like an idealized high school experience. That said, the story is lacking when it comes to substance. Rowell tells the story smoothly, and the book is interesting in terms of character development. There are no twists, turns or “please tell me what happens next” moments, so it is does not really keep you at the edge of your seat. Rowell’s novel is void of any hugely remarkable facets. Sometimes you need a story that does not require a lot of analyzing, and I like “Fangirl” for that reason. See our thoughts on Rowell’s novel below! Now in college, Cath must deal with the trials and tribulations, both old and new, that compose her life. Cath’s fanaticism began as a child, when her mother left the family, leaving Cath and her twin sister behind. She even goes so far as to write Simon Snow fan fiction-and she is good at it. Harry Potter is to ‘90s kids everywhere what Simon Snow is to Cath and her peers in Rainbow Rowell’s novel “Fangirl.” Cath takes her fandom to the extreme. ![]()
