Quite fun about fan-fiction

3 stars

Quick read about a young woman navigating her first year of college, whilst trying to finish her increasingly popular fan-fiction series. Add in burgeoning romantic feelings, her twin's withdrawal, some parental drama, and an ethical quandary, you get an engaging YA novel. Excerpts from the Potteresque “Simon Snow” books, as well as snippets of Cather's fan-fiction, are interspersed throughout the text. Though, for me, it didn't quite stick the landing, it's an enjoyable read.
