Book review- FANGIRL


 
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Rating: +A

AHHHHHHHH FANGIRLING RIGHT NOW! No just kidding(kind of)! But if you are a Fangirl then you should really read this book cause you  will be fangirling once you read it! This is an awesome book and I recommend it to pretty much everyone.  When I read it I was laughing the whole way through. I loved it! It is that kind of book where you can just have fun with it.

                                                                       About the book
Cath and Wren are two twin sisters and their hugest similarity(other then their looks): being Simon Snow fans. They have been since like forever. Cath writes stories  of Simon Snow on fanfixx (that's the website she writes stories on) and sometimes Wren helps. Cath has millions of followers! Now Cath and Wren are both going to college and Wren has drifted away from Simon Snow but Cath, she just cant let go. Simon is like her best friend and she will never be able to let go of him no matter what. Wren has even told Cath that she doesn't want to be roommates since she wants to meet new people. I personally think that's very mean! Like what kind of sister does that? Anyway, back to the story, or should I say summary. Once Cath reaches college she meets this guy names Levi and he is Reagans(Cath's  roommates name) friend/boyfriend. Days go by and Cath attends her classes and all and gets to know Reagan a little to. She  also learns that  most night she as the dorm room to herself since Reagan is out half out the time. The days that Reagan is in the room she has Levi with her. Cath keeps worrying about her fragile dad who has never been alone before and she has to cope with the relationship she has with Wren right now since it is not going the best. In fiction writing class Cath meets this guy named Nick and they make it a routine to write together every Thursday night at the library and they become very good friends. Now here comes the good parts. Cath finds out from Reagan later on in the book that  Reagan and Levi used to be a couple but they are now just friends and they broke up since Reagan kept cheating on Levi. The reason that Levi hangs around so much is since Reagan helps him study. On some days when Levi is waiting outside the door for Reagan Cath just lets him in. The eventully start getting closer and closer. The night that Cath is reading to Levi on the bed they both fall asleep together kissing. Cath later on goes to Levi's house for a party and finds him kissing another girl. AHHHHHHH! I was freaking out at this part in the book! Cath ignores Levi for the longest time ever and finally they talk and Cath tells Levi everything. After that their relationship goes more smoothly.  Cath also finds out about how her mom, who abandoned them at a young age, wants to meet them now! After like 16 years(I think 16)! Now I don't want to tell you more since it will spoil the book but that does not mean you all shouldn't read it!

                                                            My review of the book

Three words. I loved it! It was an amazing book from the beginning to the end. I love Levi's and Cath's relationship a whole lot an I think it's really cute. There are parts in the book where you were about to put it down but then you read a sentence or two and then your like no, I got to keep reading!
The book is also hilarious! Through the whole book(almost the whole book, some parts were sad) I was laughing and I just couldn't stop. You can also sometimes feel what the other characters are feeling and what I mean by that is the way they are feeling, you can feel their feelings. Lastly, the writing style of Rainbow Rowell is pretty good. I have seen better but hers is awesome to and I like the way she explains everything.


Anyway, that's all for FANGIRL. If you read this book I hope you like it just like I did.
                                                                     ENJOY!!!

The Fault in our stars- Book review

 
 So how do I start? This is technically my first blog post and its about my favorite book The Fault In Our Stars by John Green! Now I can list a whole bunch of reasons this is my favorite book or I can go right ahead and tell you about the book. 
 
 It all starts of with a girl named Hazel who has cancer( her lungs also don't work so great),is 16 years old and she goes to a support group which she doesn't like but goes to it anyway just for her mom. She has a friend in support group named Isaac. One day a new guy, named Augustus, comes to support group and eventually both Hazel and Augustus catch eye contact since Augustus had been staring at her the whole time. Soon enough they both are flirtatious friends and they talk about everything together. Hazel shares her favorite  book with Gus(short for Augustus) named An Imperial Affliction and they both obsess about the unsolved ending. Gus somehow gets to email the author and the author, Peter Van Houten, invite's them to come visit in Amsterdam to talk about the ending of the book. Now don't forget about Isaac because he isn't having the greatest life right now.
Isaac is losing his eye(the only one left) so that he can be cancer-free at long last. He also lost his girlfriend Monica since she didn't want to have a blind boyfriend. Rude! Gus surprises Hazel with telling her that he still has his with(the one they give to dying children)  from when he had cancer and lost his leg. He tells her that he wants to take her to Amsterdam to meet Peter Van Houten. That's what I call love. Hazel is beyond happy but is worried how to convince her parents and doctors who are worried about her lots.
 
Hazel ends up convincing everybody that everything will all be fine and her mom, Gus and Hazel set off to meet Peter Van Houten in Amsterdam. The night they reach Hazel and Gus have a romantic dinner and a restaurant paid by the author. That night Gus tells Hazel how much he loves her. The day that they go to meet the author, it ends up not as planned. First of, the author was drunk and mean. Secondly it ended up that well, Van Houten did not answer any of Hazels questions. Hazel ended up being mad and very upset. When they get back to the hotel room Gus spills that he has cancer again.
 
 
Now I don't want to tell you the end since it will spoil this amazing, sad and funny book. But let me tell you, if you read the book(YOU HAVE TO) then you have to keep a box of tissues will you because I guarantee that you will cry! But let me tell you that you will fall in love with Hazel and Gus's relationship. It is the most romantic and cutest relationship ever.
 
This book is more than just a book but is a story of 2 people who fall in love and its their story.
 
ENJOY!!!!
