From Rainbow Rowell comes a warm and relatable coming-of-age story about fandom, first love, anxiety, and learning how to step into your own life.

Cath has always found comfort in the world of Simon Snow. Writing fanfiction, connecting with online readers, and escaping into familiar characters has helped her through loneliness, family stress, and change. But when she starts college, everything feels suddenly unfamiliar.

Her twin sister, Wren, is ready for independence and wants to leave their shared world behind. Cath, however, would rather stay in her dorm room writing than face parties, new friendships, difficult classes, and the uncertainty of growing up.

Then she meets Levi.

Kind, patient, and impossible to ignore, Levi slowly draws Cath out of her shell. But opening up is not easy, especially when Cath is juggling family worries, creative pressure, and the fear that the stories she loves may be safer than real life.

Funny, heartfelt, and deeply comforting, Fangirl explores identity, anxiety, sisterhood, creativity, and the courage it takes to write your own story.
