Fangirl

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell follows fan fiction writer and new college freshmen Cath.  Cath has spent all of her life part of a pair.  Her twin sister came with her to college but didn't want to live with her because she wanted her own life.  Cath has problems integrating into the college social and her writing professor is not accepting of her fan fiction writing.

This is a fantastic account of a girl coming to learn to live on her own.  It's great to have a heroine who isn't a social butterfly and has problems acclimating and the fan fiction is terrific.  I adored every minute of the book and cheered at Cath's accomplishments.

Appropriatness:  Cath is in college and she and her friends act like typical college students.  There's drinking and sex but its all appropriate for Cath's age.  I would recommend this book to readers 14+
