Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was unputdownable.

Lately I've been giving myself a set amount to read during my daughter's nap time and the rest of it would be spent watching tv. I read right over the set amount and kept on reading until she woke up, even then I only put it down reluctantly.

I chose this to read with Finding Audrey because both Cath and Audrey suffer from social anxiety, of which I am also afflicted. Cath's social anxiety was more like my own though. She's not shut up in her house but is very uncomfortable and has a hard time meeting new people.

I thought this would be geekier but its not. Its not about being a fangirl, its about a fangirl.

My only problem with is was that the fanfic sections were kid of boring. I barely read them, I just glazed over them.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What else is there to say other than I LOVED this book?!?!

I suffer from social anxiety so I could relate to Audrey. Her family was so vibrant and colorful and normal. I laughed out loud a couple of times.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get inside my head.

Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng

Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The beginning of this book was everything that made me put A Tree Grows in Brooklyn down after 150 pages, really slow with nothing exciting happening. I almost wanted to put it down too but I trudged on.

I'm glad I did. It was slow and I had a hard time paying attention at times but it dealt with things like racism and sexism. You got to see the seedy underbelly of a seemingly normal family (every family has secrets).
