Oh my god, this was fantastic! so relatable!
what I loved most about it was, that I so expected rainbow Rowell to make Cath grow up and 'realize that real life is better than fanfiction' and she didn't do that! she showed that you can have an own life, a great life, and still stay a hardcore fan/fanfiction writer etc.
I read the q&a in the back, and I just loved how Rowell described this. she said Cath would never grow out of fanfictions, she just grows. she doesn't choose a world (real or fictional), she just expends her world! that was the best thing about this book, really.
another thing: I LOVE Rowells writing style. It's beautiful, relatable, feels like It's just random thoughts on a page and still has some really clever and deep parts.
this book was so inspirational and filled me with so much Joy!!
EDIT:
I forgot to mention that thanks to this book, I now ship characters, that don't even exist. I Mean, most fictional characters don't, but these don't have an existing origin. I ship Simon and baz so much... and baz is just.... omg. I think the excerpts from 'Carry On' might have been my favorite part of the book...

I liked living in Cath's world for awhile. While parts of it felt very unrealistic, it was still a fun read.

Really cute and fluffy, loveable characters, with a great take on fanfiction. Not a 5-star for me, but still an easy, enjoyable read

Really enjoyable book, ending was a little trite, but I loved every character, this read like a love letter to writing, which was fun. It also reminded me of what it felt to live in that in between place between being a kid and grown. Read it, you won’t be disappointed
