A very good book of the author of Eleanor & Park. The story starts with Cath and Wren (twins) going off to college. For the first time in their life they are going to live separately, because Wren wants to start living her own life and being her own person. Going to college makes Cath scared and nervous and mostly she stays in her dorm room and writes fanfiction for Simon Snow. But an outgoing roommate and her boyfriend that seems to always be around change her plans and Cath sort of starts to like it, but then her dad has another episode, Wren is never around and drinking and partying too much and their mother, who left them on 9/11, comes back.
This book is good, funny, awesome, engrossing and the author does a perfect job of making it seem as though you are Cath and you can really feel how she is feeling about everything. Her nerves, her doubts, her worries and at the end of the book all you want is more.
The book also contains small excerpts of the Simon Snow stories and Cath's fanfiction, which makes this story even more real. And the small digs at the Harry Potter story/fandom are great too!
