Ok, this is the second book that I have read by Rainbow Rowell - I also read Eleanor & Park and once again, I totally loved the book - all the way up to the very end - which wound up being a let down. It's like the end was - missing. It isn't the cliffhanger type ending where you can't wait for the next book, because it doesn't have a cliffhanger and there won't be a next book - this is it. And it is not the kind of ending where you are sad to leave that world and have to go back to the real one because the book was so fantastic and satisfying. It is an unsatisfying ending. There is just something missing. It is anti-climatic.
Anyway, in this story, Cather and her twin sister Wren, go to college and in a cry for independence, Wren has refused to room with Cather, leaving Cather with her scary roommate, Reagan and Reagan's boyfriend, Levi. Wren goes on a partying streak leaving Cather behind to write fan fiction for the Simon Snow fantasy series on her own. Cather struggles trying to figure out boys and her insane family as Reagan and Levi try to draw her out into college life. There is lots of writing and romance and angst and the story is mostly fantastic.
