Prologue
This is for all the people who have read the story Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell and loved it but didn't quite get the ending they wanted. If you haven't let me give you a brief summary.
Fangirl, by Rainbow Rowell, is a novel about overcoming the pain of the past. Cather Avery, a college freshman who suffers from insecurity, has channeled the difficulties of her life by writing a work of Fan-fiction based on her favorite young adult book series. She falls for a handsome man named Levi and Cath is a Simon Snow fan. Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan.... But for Cath, being a fan is her life—and she’s really good at it. She and her twin, Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just kids; it’s what got them through their mother leaving.
Reading. Rereading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow Fan-fiction, dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere. Cath’s sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath can’t let go. She doesn’t want to.
Now that they’re going to college, Wren has told Cath she doesn’t want to be roommates. Cath is on her own, completely outside of her comfort zone. She’s got a surly roommate with a charming, always-around boyfriend; a fiction-writing professor who thinks Fan-fiction is the end of the civilized world; a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words... and she can’t stop worrying about her dad, who’s loving and fragile and has never really been alone.
For Cath, the question is: Can she do this? Can she make it without Wren holding her hand? Is she ready to start living her own life? And does she even want to move on if it means leaving Simon Snow behind?
Okay...lets start the story from where she left off!
