Loved the Vibes, Skipped the Fanfic

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this one! It was a cozy, character-driven read that pulled me in easily (and unexpectedly). Cath felt incredibly real and relatable, and I loved watching her navigate that messy transition into college life.

That said, I didn't love the excerpts from the "book" and fanfiction nearly as much. I understand why they were included and what they added thematically, but for me, they interrupted the flow more than they enhanced it. Honestly, I think the story could have stood completely on its own and still been just as strong, if not stronger.

Overall, this was really enjoyable!
