Fangirl

　　描述魔法世界的奇幻小說Simon Snow系列在全球擁有上百萬名書迷，Cath也是忠實粉絲之一。她和雙胞胎妹妹Wren從小就追隨著每一本續集的出版，兩人不但會打扮成書中人物去參加電影首映會、也愛逛有關Simon Snow的論壇。內向的Cath在網路上是暢銷同人小說作家，每個禮拜都有幾萬名讀者等著拜讀她的最新作品。

　　從小，妹妹總是陪在她身旁，沒想到大學註冊時，Wren為了認識更多新朋友，決定不跟她同住一間宿舍。第一次要自己面對全新的環境和陌生的同學，Cath一時難以適應，成天躲在自己的寢室裡。少了Wren的陪伴下，她是否有足夠的勇氣來面對新環境？她能走出Simon Snow的影子，寫出一篇屬於自己的故事嗎？（文／博客來編譯）

　　In Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl, Cath is a Simon Snow fan. Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan, but for Cath, being a fan is her life--and she's really good at it. She and her twin sister, Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just kids; it's what got them through their mother leaving.

　　Reading. Rereading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow fan fiction, dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere.

　　Cath's sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath can't let go. She doesn't want to.

　　Now that they're going to college, Wren has told Cath she doesn't want to be roommates. Cath is on her own, completely outside of her comfort zone. She's got a surly roommate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words . . . And she can't stop worrying about her dad, who's loving and fragile and has never really been alone.

　　For Cath, the question is: Can she do this?
　　Can she make it without Wren holding her hand? Is she ready to start living her own life? Writing her own stories?
　　And does she even want to move on if it means leaving Simon Snow behind?
