CONGRATULATIONS! You just won a place in my top 5 favorite books of ALL TIME! This book gets me. I get this book. Cath, I feel that I am you (but without a twin, an estranged mom, or a mentally unstable dad, and slightly less anxiety), but I totally understood you! When it comes to writing fanfiction, I was with you all the way. Well, I am nowhere near as popular as Cath with her thousands and tens of thousands of hits on her fanfictions, but boy is it satisfying to post your writing under an anonymous user name and get compliments and encouragement from strangers who love your writing. It's gratifying to create scenarios of characters from books, movies or anime, so that things played out the way YOU wanted them to. And then to post it and know that other people also think this is a good idea and want to read more of YOUR writing.

Yes, this is a wonderful way to spend your time and your creativity; sharpening your writing skills on characters you love and living in a world where your skills are appreciated by many. Even when you make those characters love each other in a gay way. Yup, Cath is a writer of guy/guy fanfiction (another reason I super love her and understand her). Luckily Cath had a lot of support from her friends and family (both online and off) for her fanfiction, and alas I did not. Sure it's nerdy, but I consider fanfiction writers on par with authors. They ARE authors. Cath's fiction-writing teacher may not understand this, but luckily this doesn't break Cath's spirit. And there are a lot of tests and trials for poor Cath in this book that made me worry and sad and happy and smiling for the main character. A tough-to-figure-out roommate and her always smiling boyfriend, a "break up" with her twin sister, someone who was always there for her, anxiety attacks from the extremely different change into college dorm life, new people, and no sister, and many many more ups and downs that made me never want to put this book down.

So if you are a twin, or entering college, suffer from anxiety of new places and people, or a fangirl that has obsessed over something and writes or reads fanfiction, this book is for you!
