This book is about how this girl named Cath is a major fan of Simon Snow. (from a movie/book series) Cath and her sister Wren ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just kids. However now that they're older and in college, Cath has been encountering many problems. Since Wren has left from the "fandom", and started living a real life, Cath is now left all alone. Cath still can't let go of Simon Snow and continues to write fanfiction. But now that she's in college and Wren left her, Cath questions herself if she can really start living her own life and contemplates if she is ready to leave Simon Snow behind.
Not only does Cath have personal issues, but she also has a hard time with her dad. Cath always seems to be worried about her father, but Wren always tells her that he's "fine".When he's obviously not. Wren doesn't check on her dad as often as Cath does to see if he's doing alright, and it kind of bothers her. Not only that, but since Wren basically abandoned Cath, she has to deal with her dad by herself.
Later in the book though recently, Cath has been having boy troubles too. It seems as though she's falling for her roomate's ex, which is a tough situation. However, she can't help but fall for Levi's charm. He makes her feel safe and happy, in which she hasn't felt in a long time due to everything that's going on. But when she was invited to a party, Cath saw Levi with another girl and she couldn't help but feel jealous and hurt. Cath later on decides to ignore her crush, but when she needs someone the most, she can't help but go to him.

Does Wren ever talk about Simon Snow, even though she is not in really into it anymore? What do you think could happen with Cath with all of the problems she has? For some reason, I feel that Cath and Levi might end up together, but there is always that chance that they won't. Hopefully, all will turn out to be okay for Cath. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine the moment when I leave my fandoms forever because I "have to grow up." It will be a sad moment but I hope I will be able to stay in my fandoms and be an adult at the same time. This seems like a very interesting book. I want to read it. I read Eleanor & Park and the book left me butt hurt so I'm a bit conscious on reading this one. Though, I plan to persevere through it! good blog post Leanna!

ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an interesting book. It sounds exactly like a normal teenage life. I can see that Cath has a lot of strew on her back and that's never good. Maybe further on in the book, Wren will realize how much she sister needs her. Overall, great blog!
