I thought I was being patient by taking my time with this adaptation instead of devouring it in one sitting. (And the ones you can’t Google.)” Y’know, the best of lines.īottom line: This book means the world to me. Like when starting something new and hearing Cath’s “In new situations, all the trickiest rules are the ones nobody bothers to explain to you. Anytime an important event happens in my life I hear quotes from the book in my head mirroring my thoughts. Anytime I was sad or anxious, I would flip to a page in Fangirl to cheer me up. When I’d get bored with whatever library book I was reading Fangirl would be the book I would reach for.

It was my first physical copy of a book I loved. I can’t put into words all that Fangirl got me through. What an experience… It’s what made me start looking for more books to read instead of browsing for new popular Wattpad stories (fans of The Cellphone Swap hit me up*). I had to hold myself back from letting all my thoughts spillover. I felt like talking about Fangirl to anyone willing to listen like these characters were real people I knew. I missed being away from these characters. I had never before expended such intense emotions for a book. I remember my thoughts at school that day, after reading Fangirl into the night, centered entirely on Levi. It’s funny the way life circles back to you. I started the book before going to bed thinking it would help calm my nerves before the exam and help me fall asleep… Oh, I had to force myself to part from this book at 2am – not because I was tired ( Fangirl made me feel alive) but because I couldn’t possibly think straight if I didn’t go to sleep right then and there. Of course, I couldn’t tame the temptation of starting this book even though I was a week before an important exam… This perfectly mirrors my experience of reading Fangirl back in January 2014 for the first time, also known as the night before my math exam. Landline was a recent favorite for all the introverts seeking love.

And even more reviews of Rowell’s other books. I mean, I have two reviews up on my blog where I talk all about my love for these characters: Why I Fangirl over Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl (Spoilers: Levi) & Review: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I thought it was going to be like having fanart of all my favorite scenes. This is the closest I might get to that wish.

Nothing might top the excitement I felt before opening this illustrated adaptation of my favorite book.
