The fact that a love story was totally at the center of E&P with their alternating narrations is something I love so no surprise that it was a fave.The Insouciant Sophisticatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934853089105345052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-79172678785943835032013-09-11T21:49:51.813-07:002013-09-11T21:49:51.813-07:00Read all of them if you can!

Sorry it took me an extra day to get here:)<br /><br />Well, I haven't read Attachments--yet--and I loved E & P, but Fangirl is definitely my fave of the two. You're right, there is A LOT going on this book (writing my review and keeping it neat and tidy proved fruitless) but I think the writing themes and the romance were my favorite parts too:) I grow more and more impressed with Rainbow Rowell with every book I read :) Great review!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026974627724672435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-84232040246816194472013-09-06T02:26:50.340-07:002013-09-06T02:26:50.340-07:00Oh, I'm dying to read this. <3 Glad you lov...Oh, I'm dying to read this. <3 Glad you loved though it wasn't your favorite Rainbow book.

I really liked Cather as a character. I liked the romance too but what I really appreciated was the character growth and the time spent on family relationships and relationships in general. The fanfic was entertaining though I did get frustrated with Cath for not trying harder with her writing class (though I was the same with my English classes).<br /><br />Great review! I can't wait to see what Rowell writes next either. If you are going to write fanfic, please write what happens with Eleanor and Park beyond the book :)Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.com
