**** 4 stars
So adorable. But to call it adorable is quite a disservice since it also has its dark and difficult themes running through it. But it is adorable and cute and charming. It is also heartbreaking, heartfelt and heartwarming. Absolutely loved this book and I read it in two days (which doesn't sound so impressive except that I generally need a week to read a book).
Just a lovely read. Definitely for an older teen. I'm not sure I would recommend it for my young teen son and daughter. The language is pretty rough but it is not gratuitous. If I saw that my daughter picked this up on her own, I'm not sure I would prevent her from reading it, but I'm also not prepared to offer it as a "Mom-endorsed read" quite yet. In a couple years for her.
Becoming quite a fan of Rainbow Rowell, which is kind of funny. I used to read her column when she wrote for the local paper and I felt I didn't really "get" her. Generally her topics were of interest to a younger crowd. But so far her novels are big hits for me. I see that Fangirl is available at the library for me. Yay!
