Wow I really liked this book more than I had expected. Cath is such a relatable character that the story sucked me in right away. As someone who can also have social anxiety and absolutely spent her younger years reading so much Harry Potter fanfiction, I can understand Cath more than any of the other characters. She has been through so much in her life and is always looking out for other people while worrying that she might be doing something wrong or embarrassing. The more you get to know her the more she jumps off the page. The characters around her are interesting and sometimes very infuriating. So many times I just wanted to yell at them or have her yell at them (which just isn't her way). She doesn't hold a grudge the way so many others would have.

I really enjoy Rainbow Rowell's writing and this is no different. The story flows nicely and though it's not super fast paced, it works perfectly for this. I loved reading snippets of Carry On Simon and the other books and how they sort of correlated with Cath's life.

And Cath and Levi are too adorable without being too cliche or over the top. Genuine is the word I would use to describe them. I'm so glad there was a happy ending to this one and I am STOCKED that we can read Cath's Fanfict which is an awesome addition. I have to say I wanted to smack her sister for about half the book, but at the same time I could tell she was really struggling and needed help getting out of it. And Cath's writing partner....UGH I just wanted her to be a super tattletale about that, but I'm glad it got resolved the way it did.

I'm going to jump right into Carry On from this because I am so intrigued about Simon and Baz.
