Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Cath and her twin sister Wren both grew up as huge Simon Snow fans. But Wren is growing up and becoming more independent and informs Cath that when they go off to college, Wren no longer wants to be roommates. While Wren is outgoing and begins to party and drink, Cath is more introverted and would rather stay in her dorm room and write Simon Snow fan fiction. Cath's roommate Reagan has an ex-boyfriend named Levi, that Cath falls for. Cath has a rocky first semester at college when her father has a breakdown, her sister gets alcohol poisoning, and Levi breaks her heart. But Cath comes back stronger during her next college semester, and finds her inner voice in her writing. She finally lets go of her past and her Simon Snow obsessions, and moves on with her life and Levi's love. Fangirl is realistic fiction about a coming of age, first love story geared towards grades 9 and up.
