This was SO CUTE.
Honestly, once I started this book I could hardly put it down. It's been on my to-read list for a while, and I feel like there wasn't a better time than now to finally read it. Boy, was I right. The characters were interesting and detailed, from their names to their nuances. I felt myself almost squirming at the cuteness, the sweet intimacy between characters. Not to mention the main "plot" of a character,and 18-year-old girl, who struggles through her life as a "fangirl," in this case an extremely involved and even quite well-known fan of a particular fandom.
Overall, very sweet, well-written, well-paced story that I loved.

Reread! And loved it just as much as the first time. So good 😍

*Original 2017 Review*
Have you ever encountered a novel where you just can't stop reading? Like you've been stranded in a desert for a week with no water, and someone just handed you a canteen?
That's how it felt to read Fangirl for the first time.
I am not a contemporary book reader. I own maybe 3 contemporary books (now 4). I'm just not into sappy romance. But Cath and Levi aren't sappy, or having an existential crisis like in SOME contemporaries I know... they are utterly perfect.
I was totally "meh" about the idea of this book when everyone was talking about it. Didn't understand the hype and was completely prepared to give this book a 2 star rating - but I get it now. It was fantasy, romance, contemporary, humor, drama, and so much more. I devoured this novel in less than 24 hours- and that was with both sleep and work.
100/5. Purely amazing.

Una lectura muy bonita, realmente lo disfruté hasta que el final abierto me lo arruinó.

Es una historia muy bonita, la historia de amor es demasiado tierna. Puedes conectar mucho con los personajes porque son personas normales con una vida normal, muestran muchos aspectos importantes y cotidianos de la vida, problemas, peleas, inseguridades. Conecté con Kate por la ansiedad social y me vi reflejada en ella en muchas cosas . y en general lo disfruté mucho.

Después de la decepción que tuve con Eleanor & Park, no creí que un libro de esta autora me fuera a gustar pero aquí estamos.
Me gustó muchísimo y Levi se quedará en mi corazón aunque no tuve mucho de él.

Loved the book! I wish I had read it when it came out! It was definitely what I thought my time in college would be like minus the twin sister
