Goodreads Synopsis: Cath is a Simon Snow fan.

Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan...

But for Cath, being a fan is her life—and she’s really good at it. She and her twin sister, Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just kids; it’s what got them through their mother leaving.

Reading. Rereading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow fan fiction, dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere.

Cath’s sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath can’t let go. She doesn’t want to.

Now that they’re going to college, Wren has told Cath she doesn’t want to be roommates. Cath is on her own, completely outside of her comfort zone. She’s got a surly roommate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilised world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words... And she can’t stop worrying about her dad, who’s loving and fragile and has never really been alone.

For Cath, the question is: Can she do this?

Can she make it without Wren holding her hand? Is she ready to start living her own life? Writing her own stories?

And does she even want to move on if it means leaving Simon Snow behind?

Hey guys!

So this is my first blog post on this blog. If any of you read my other blog girl obsessed, I will still be posting on that blog, I just thought about writing a book blog for a while now and since I have read so many books lately, I thought I would write about it!! 


What I Didn't Like:

  • I didn't like that Levi was dating Cath's roommate then started flirting with Cath.
  • Wren and Cath used to be so close, then suddenly Wren is a completely different person closing Cath out of her world and never wanting to talk to Cath.
  • Cath is still in collage and she is still obsessed with the fanfiction writing
What I liked:
  • The friendship between Cath and her roommate
  • When Cath faced her fears! Standing up to her sister
  • Cath was different. The way she dressed. She dressed the way she wanted and doesn't care what others think. 
My Favourite Character: Cath
My Least Favourite Character: Wren
