I read Fangirl a while ago and even though I really liked it I felt a tingle of disappointment towards the end. Because it was quieter than I'd expected it to be, a little more action. Reading your review reminds me of all the little things adding up to a book I felt pretty comfortable with and that's a perfect description of what Fangirl is all about! --> "we're all treated to four hundred pages of life"<br />Miss Page-Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518771814158045590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-38175313854140421732013-08-31T15:40:57.201-04:002013-08-31T15:40:57.201-04:00This sounds so lovely, Jenny!

A lot of the Aussie books are like that, not a whole lot happens just people, relationships, some romance but the writing is captivating enough to hold your attention. I'll have to check this one out. Brilliant review. :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682335183798720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-45655982873212612102013-08-30T22:39:32.501-04:002013-08-30T22:39:32.501-04:00Did you read Attachments?
