In this modern day bildungsroman (coming of age story) that perfectly captures what it feels like to be an outsider; Rainbow Rowell delivers both a funny and enlightening tale. Cath is an incoming college freshman who until now has done everything with her twin sister, Wren. Cath and Wren have been there for each other through their mother leaving them their father having mental breakdowns, and are the only two who understands the other's love for Simon Snow, an extremely popular young adult series. For the two of them, their entire life revolves around Simon Snow, from watching all the movies to staying up all night to write Simon Snow fanfiction. Cath thought that all of this would continue into college, but Wren has a different plan. As Wren detaches herself from both Cath and Simon Snow, Cath struggles to find acceptance from those around her and finds it in the most unlikely places. This book was funny and sweet, and was one of those stories that make you smile and feel gushy at the end. I highly recommend it!

I completely agree with this review, it doesn't give anything significant away that would ruin anything that makes this book so perfect. It was definitely one of the best books I've read all year. I smiled throughout the entire book because it was so gushy. I'd read this book over and over again if I could. I'd tell everyone to read this book!
