Reviewed by Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>“So, what if, instead of thinking about solving you whole life, you just think about adding additional good things. One at a time. Just let your pile of good things grow.”</i></b></blockquote> This is my first Rainbow Rowell book...and I'm seriously disappointed. If this is her romances, I don't think I'll want to read her other books. The writing didn't captivated me, or had any of the cute tropes or scenes that I usually like to read in romances - and mind that I'm not a big fan of the genre to begin with. Also, I really don't think this qualifies as a romance, unless you think it's romantic for a guy to read through your personal correspondence and start basically stalking you and have fantasies with you in his head. Because in my mind that's what this was and I didn't find it romantic at all. The 'romance' in itself felt rushed and the ending was just not believable. I felt myself rolling my eyes a lot and that's never a good thing in a book. It was a slow reading for me because at the beginning I couldn't get into the plot or the main character (Lincoln, basically). The only things I enjoyed about the book was Beth and Jennifer's friendship and conversations, how we're able to see into their lifes through their email - the email resource as a way to their plotline was very clever and I like different things like these in books, to escape the conventional writing style. Also, the conversations themselves were witty and funny and I like how they were so supportive of each other. I also liked Lincoln's character development, how he overcame his difficulties, how he was finally able to move on and start fresh. It was also refreshing to have a chick-lit and a romance from the guy's POV. Other than that, there's not much I liked about this. It was so unsatisfying, because I was in the mood for a cute, nice romance, to gush a lot and smile while reading. That's not what I got with this book and it left me wondering if I should read "Fangirl" at all. 3 stars.
Reviewed by JulianeThis one is really the best book by Rainbow - by far. It takes place at 1999 which I love! And also the plot is a big plus. How creepy and romantic at the same time! It took me a bit to get into the story but after the first "meet" in the cinema it got me and I loved it!
