want to admit it, but ...Real life was something happening in her peripheral visionI enjoyed Fangirl Though the way I feel about it is almost exactly how I feel about Eleanor Park They are both cute books with complex, well developed characters, and yet I feel like something is missing that just holds both books back from being truly memorable.Rowell writes quirky, detailed characters that are

types of books are the ones that speak to you directly to the reader The ones that resonate so deeply within your psyche that you feel as though you re actually learning things about yourself in the
