Fangirl
 Reading this book was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
This was such an adorable book! I loved it!
It was just so fucking cute! All of it!
Cath is just so fucking awesome and relatable! I felt like I was her at some points, like everyone did. She was so cute whenever someone asked her out. I do that all the time! Except my reason is that my mum won't let me. I just loved this whole book. Rainbow Rowell has an amazing writing style. At first I wasn't that much into the whole 3rd person narration but I got used to it eventually. All of it was beautifully done.
When she started going to the library with Nick I didn't suspect anything, and I actually thought that he was the love interest, because it seemed like it. When he asked her if she was ok if he gave their story to their teacher I WANTED TO KILL HIM!
I was really frustrated that she said she was ok with it, that she was the humble one, but still. That wasn't fair to her at all.
All I did when Cath read to Levi that night was grin like a stupid kid and giggle because they were so fucking adorable. And then they kissed and everything was so perfect and cute!!

Don't tell me you didn't want to just hug both of them and congratulate them!
And then Cath went to that party and saw Levi kiss that girl and I was like THIS IS NOT HAPPENING! NOOOOOO!
I literally shed a tear or two at that.
Two things I enjoyed about this book is that whenever Cath felt like crying she wasn't like "I will hold my tears and try not to show that I am actually very hurt" and she just let the tears flow. I loved that and the other thing is that even if this book didn't have drama in it, it seemed like the drama that existed was really toned down and it was just enough for the whole story and all of it seemed realistic, and that it could actually happen in real life. Many YA contemporary books don't have that. One example is Anna and the French Kiss, but if that book didn't have the whole drama, it wouldn't have been as good as it is, I think.
My favourite part from the whole book was when Levi offered to take Cath home and she kissed his cheek when they arrived in sign of appreciation and THAT WAS SO CUTE! And then Levi was so fucking adorable to her and AAAARGH!
And then was the part when Caths' dad was in hospital and that made me sad and teary and when Wren got into hospital that was just, what the heck!
I love her dad. He's awesome. It somehow reminded me of my dad. Mine isn't a workaholic, but he's really nice to me and he trusts me and he's just awesome and understanding and he'd do anything for me. Not in the stupid kind of way, where I take advantage of him and ask him for money or whatever. He's really supportive and she seemed Arthur and I love him for that. I love Arthur.
My reaction when Nick asked to put her name in their story was like, really, dude? Really? You wanna do that?
And when she said that she won't do that THAT WAS THE BEST PART!!! YESYESYESYESYES!!! That was such a slap in the face! It was obvious that she had a huge part in writing the story, but she just wanted to slap him for that. And I loved her for that!
And of course Levi and Cath started being totes adorbs and I just wanted to hug them both.
While reading this book I felt hope for myself. Hope for actually finding someone because I'm an awkward potato and I've never had luck when it comes to that.
This is one of my favourite contemporary books. I cannot wait for this period to pass so I can read more of Rainbow Rowell's books because they're amazing. And I've heard amazing things about her other books.

Tell me what you thought of the book, if you've read it, in the comments. I'd love to hear your opinion on the book :D

Goodbye,
D.
