Books 2014 - Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

Cath and Wren are identical twins and until recently they did absolutely everything together. Now they're off to university and Wren's decided she doesn't want to be one half of a pair any more - she wants to dance, meet boys, go to parties and let loose. It's not easy for Cath. She would rather bury herself in the fanfiction she writes where there's romance far more intense than anything she's experienced in real life. No Cath has to decide whether she's ready to open her heart to new people and new experiences, and she's realizing that there's more to learn about love than she ever thought possible...

The blurb also describes this as A tale of fanfiction, family and first love, and I think that's a nice summary of it. The blurb makes this book sound more of a love story, I think, but it isn't really.

( It's a coming-of-age story... )

Day Ninety Four - Sunshine and sunflowers

1) Remember that tooth I had trouble with? I was a good girl and went to the dentist this morning - and it's fine! Yeay! This is a happy thing, although it probably also means that there's something different that needs attention. But it's not my tooth - yeay!

2) On the way back from the dentist, a wee long-bodied stoat-y type thing ran across the road in front of me. Yeay wildlife! (And actually I forgot to say that about a week ago I was coming home from town and a muntjak strolled from one side of the road in our village to the other. I've never seen one actually on our road/in the village before!) I hope there's wildlife in New Somerset Place too - it makes me happy to see them!

3) Presumably to stop people going through a gate which has "no access" on it, someone has planted sunflowers, and they are happy-making as you drive past! *g*
