Relatable. Charming. A page-turner.
One thing is for sure, Rainbow Rowell is undeniably one of the best storytellers of the modern times. I was able to read two of her works— Landline and Attachments, both were five-star reads if you would ask me. And here I am making another blog post about one of her “brainchildren”— Fangirl.
This book is super relatable, most especially for those who will be going to college or those who are already college freshmen. As for me, it brought back many memories of my first year in college. The awkward feeling of going to a place for the first time without knowing anybody, adults expecting you to act like one of them and to know what you want to do in life when deep inside, you are still struggling to put your life’s puzzle pieces together. The first college year experience was vividly described in this book that one would find himself/herself smiling cause one way or another, he/she found himself/herself in the same situation, too.
Fangirl, just like Attachments and Landline, was a story that would lighten up a reader’s mood. It tackles family issues, school-related concerns, working hard to get that A in all subjects because a scholarship was at stake, and also the confusion and unexplainable emotions of meeting your first love. Every conflict was carefully placed in the storyline and nothing was in disorder or unnecessary. Everything was needed to make each character grow and develop to how they should be in the last chapter. Likewise, these same conflicts were resolved by the time you turn the last page, leaving no loose ends.
