UM, PERFECT. Also seriously, why hasn't anyone written a novel about fandom before? Or have they and I just missed it?
Seriously SO ON POINT in every way. Like, the highs and lows of fandom, and how cool fandom is, but also how sometimes maybe you need to turn off the computer and go do a thing, and how people have different kinds of intelligences and that's okay.
And I loved the world of Simon Snow--a series that basically sounds like Harry Potter mixed with Narnia et al. The fragments of it and the fragments of Cath and Wren's fanfiction were so perfect.
In conclusion: SQUEEE
I'm so mad this doesn't come out until fall because I want ALL MY FANGIRL FRIENDS TO READ IT.
