Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
5.0

Quirky (and awkward) Cath starts her Freshmen year at a rural Nebraska college determined to keep her head down and pass through without anyone noticing her. She doesn't need any friends; she has her twin (although she chose not to dorm with her) and her fantastic fanfiction world, where she is the queen of slash 'shipping for a fantasy world that is very Harry Potter-esque. Despite Cath's best efforts, she soon realizes that there is so much more to life than she really thinks or knows.

Totally adorable, this story will suck you in and make you smile, laugh, and shed a small tear. Cath and the people who surround her are so life like as our their problems. These aren't the pretty perfect people so often found in YA literature.

Much lighter than Eleanor and Park, but still strikes a deep chord. Highly recommend.
