Although I haven’t read all of Rowell’s books, she always manages to leave me feeling warm and gooey inside. Her books are a pick-me-up like no other. Meanwhile, I am excitedly anticipating the release of Wayward Son!

E&P was pure magic, I loved it to bits. I loved Fangirl too (although it was a bit slow at times) and I read Carry On and I loved them all so so much.

I’ve read Fangirl and I really liked this book a lot! The personality of the main character intrigued me and made me want to see if she was going to be ok.

I read Eleanor and Park a few years ago but I remember I enjoyed it very much and would definitely recommend it. Fangirl was sadly a disappointment for me, fortunately I read Carry On a bit later and it became one my favorite books! The only book I've ever reread, and did it twice. It was too cute and fun, I can't be more excited for Wayward Son.

In my opinion Fangirl was amazing. It was a bit boring at first and the plot seemed cliché, but when i got to around the middle the story was awesome. The way she wrote Kath's kiss with Levi was so descriptive and well written I took a picture and sent it to everyone as an example of amazing writing. Though Fangirl doesn't have the titilating plot of Eleanor and Park I think solely because of the way it's written it's just as good.

Eleanor and park is one of my favourite and most unforgettable books. Other than the very pure and heartwarming romance between Eleanor and park, I liked how it broke the teen romance stereotypes and cliches about a popular girl and an attractive jock or the handsome jock and the average girl. The characters were so different but their chemistry and connection was unmatched.

I also loved how it tackled social problems like bullying ,racism, social abuse, family etc. I read it so long ago and my memory of it may be a bit vague but I wouldn't mind reading it all over again.
