St. Martin's Griffin Fangirl

This is an astounding buy. The arrival of the book was earlier than expected and it came in proper packaging. The book was very interesting and heart-warming 10/10 would recommend.

havent read it yet, but quality wasnt great.

En sí el libro llegó bien empaquetado y no tuvo ningún daño, esta completo de hojas. La historia es bonita, si buscas un libro para empezar a leer en inglés esta sería una buena recomendación mía es fácil de leer en este idioma.

To know that I read this book back in 2014 and rated it two stars makes my queer heart cry.I want Rainbow Rowell to write my life; I want to have fun, quirky, philosophical talks with that person that will transcend all my expectations.I cannot say enough times how much I love Rowell's writing style, it's like a breath of fresh air, it's like rainbows, and warm tea got together and invited all the Care Bears and made a party. If that's your thing...because it can totally be whatever floats your boat, that's how great it is!I didn't really appreciate this book before and, the fact that I've read The Simon Snow trilogy and came back to this book made all the difference! I now get all the references and understand better Cather's obsession with Simon and Baz. I mean, who wouldn't?Some people say that this book mocks those who actually write fanfic, for someone like me, who doesn't really indulge in those corners of the literature world, made me want to give it a try.It also shows how a fictional world and people can sometimes consume a person if we don't stop to look at the world around us. This is totally me, I much rather spend a day, weeks, sometimes even a month closed up at home with a book, having conversations with myself than going out and being with friends or trying to make friends. lolI do get why it might not be everyone's cup of tea, it's quirky, it really is. But I don't find it forceful, being a quirk girl almost in her 30's, growing up it wasn't cool, having quirks were very much made fun of. But we live in a different world now where liking Star Wars is now considered cool, not back in 80's/,90's and early 00's. So the level of quirkiness in this book is quite accurate.*I'm rambling...going back to the book.*Even though this book is mostly warm cups of tea/coffee on a winter day, it also has a distinct and subtle coating of sadness.Insecurities, broken families, mental health problems--it all became so emotional and life-like.The relationship build-up from friends-to-lovers is perfect and, Levi and his hairline could come over anytime.I love books that speak to me; that resonates with who I am, and while reading, I am (re)discovering things about myself.This is what FanGirl did for me.FanGirl isn't your typical romance, coming-of-age novel; there are no dramatic peaks and moments of great despair, no climactic finale.There is so much beauty in this book! great

Good

Demorei um tempo para ouvir a recomendação da minha melhor amiga sobre ler esse livro. Relutei porque normalmente não me dou bem com recomendações... que erro foi não ouvir ela antes. Fangirl é fantástico, ainda mais depois de ter passado a fase dos 15 anos, com vicio em Harry Potter (que continua, obviamente) e mania de escrever fanfic. Mesmo com 22 anos, estudando direito e trabalhando que nem uma louca, fangirl conseguiu me levar de volta pra tudo que significa ser fã e me relembrou de com é amar um personagem às vezes até mais do que deveríamos. Eu recomendaria para todos, mas sei que talvez não sejam todos que consigam entender e amar esse livro do jeito que eu estou amando.

Absolutely incredible! It's been about 6 years since I read (Eleanor & Park) - which until now is my ultimate favourite novel. That novel left me mesmerised which is why I was so hesitant to read another one of Rainbow's work, fearing that nothing could live up to that. Oh, was I wrong!! From the moment I picked Fangirl up, I could barely put it down!Storyline is so easy to follow with wonderful character development. Incredibly captivating - her words made me feel as if I was in the room with Cather. Every chapter ending so smoothly, you just have to keep reading to find out what happens next.. Left me swooning days after I put it down.
