The most that I can give it was a 2.5 star rating. I had a hard time relating to the characters. The two things that I loved about the book were its original premise and the snippets of Simon and Bas' story. <br /><br />Well, to each his/her own.

I could relate to Cath, she was so passionate about her fiction and we all have those books or series where we kinda want to stay in that world. :) Thanks for stopping by!

I felt that she did such a great job of capturing the feeling of being a college freshman. My own college experiences were quite different than Cath's, yet Cath goes through so many challenges as she adjusts and grows that seemed completely real. I'm not a fanfic person myself, but I could absolutely relate to getting totally carried away by a book series or beloved character!<br /><br />LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-48264746623015800182013-09-18T11:16:38.874-07:002013-09-18T11:16:38.874-07:00Thanks Lark!

We live in a day and age now when people can engage other fans and yes continue their stories if they wish, and other people can enjoy them. Sounds good to me. Hope you enjoy it when you get to it!

My daughter, two nieces, and several younger friends all write fanfic (and all of what I've been privileged to read has been pretty darn good, even discounting my maternal/auntly/friendly bias.) So the fanfic aspect of this book is one of its main attractions for me.
