This is the story of Cath, a fangirl. She spends great amounts of time obsessing over a fictional world she loves: that of Simon Snow. Cath, however, does more than your average fangirl; she writes enormous amounts of well-phrased fanfiction under the username Magicath, sometimes with her twin, Wren.
And this has all been fine for Cath's entire life. She and Wren have taken care of their bipolar father, got through puberty by relying on eachother in the absence of their mother, and written Simon Snow fanfiction, usually about Simon and Baz being in love. Which they are not, in the books. But obviously, deep, deep in their hearts, these enemies love each other.
And this is fine. This is all fine. Until Cather and Wren leave for colledge, and suddenly Cath's life has taken a turn for the worse.
Wren no longer wants to be Cather's built-in best friend, like she was before.
Cath's mother wants to make an entrace into her daughters' lives.
Wren actually thinks this is okay.
Cath's father, with no one to calm him down, is having more episodes than ever.
Wren is letting herself go, getting drunk to the point of sickness.
Cath has lost the will to write.
And above all that, boy troubles.
If you've ever found yourself lost in a fictional land long after you finished the book, movie, or TV series, come join me, and read this book!
