This is something I did not know about you. Lol. Filthy gay slash-fic. Oh man, I didn't shut down because I was trying to change myself when I got to college (spoiler: it didn't work long term but helped short term), but I felt so much sympathy because that COULD have been me.<br /><br />Strange boy-shaped people!

I'm a fangirl of sorts myself ;) So glad that you enjoyed this!Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-22219649973823527392013-07-22T14:05:34.969-04:002013-07-22T14:05:34.969-04:00Oh gosh, I can't wait for this!!!

I love that there's a strong friendship in this book; I feel like that's been missing from some of the books I've been reading lately.

The wri...I CANNOT WAIT TO GET THIS IN THE MAIL OMG. The writing sounds spectacular (I love it when they're so witty and hilarious that I get caught off guard and laugh out loud), the characters sound wonderful (yay for great characters and secondary ones at that!), and the whole journey of it all. I think it's also funny how you talk about books and movies are not just about books and movies (and you point at your mom) because I just had this SAME conversation with my dad last night. My parents and Shelver told me that these characters are only fiction and I'm like NO, NO I AM INVESTED. <br /><br />Anyways, love the review!

I'm so glad my roommate is away...he'd think I was crazy...<br /><br />This sounds like something I'd TOTALLY be into. I also spend an unhealthy amount of time reading fanfiction (although Skip Beat is my primary guilty pleasure). Ahhh now I want to read this NOW!

It's about how books and movies are not JUST BOOKS AND MOVIES, MOM, and how they can literally change your life, and how it's okay to want to live in those worlds and reblog gifsets and read or write torrid slash-fic."<br /><br />This review has captured everything. Cath's frustrations as a writer, the romantic interest's adorableness except for that one decision (you made me want to reread that section and more asap!), the awesomeness that is Cath, the characters and the humor... I loved that Rainbow Rowell, too, didn't shy away from discussions of mental illness.<br /><br />Also, YES DO TRY some more Rainbow Rowell work! :)Christina Reads YAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937783114868207494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-83223426390999809162013-07-16T16:06:50.987-04:002013-07-16T16:06:50.987-04:00This sounds like such a fun book!
