Review

I loved loved loved Fangirl, I was squirming, screaming and squealing, jumping and turning. Honestly I’ve been banging my head on my desk for not reading it as soon as it came out.

Would I’ve not enjoyed this book as much if I just read it instead of listening to the audio book? Definitely! That is not to say that Rebecca Lowman didn’t do a good job giving life to the whole fangirl entourage, and not to say that Maxwell Caulfield didn’t do a great backing her up.

The characters where yummy to read, Cath’s insecurities, her motivation, the way she was hit by the bumps in the road made her a really interested and fun character to read. The best part of it was that I never felt that she was being untrue to herself.

Secondary characters wise, yes some of them where kind of predictable but others punched this really nice surprises and I would love to get lost in a short story of Ragen and Levi. This book covers the basis of a standalone, it has the sweet glory of having a full story in just one book with the sweetest agony of wanting and craving for more.
