Unicorn Chaser: Rainbow Rowell

[mishalak]

I really had to get all my angry out of my system over spending too long forcing myself to read a book I was not enjoying. So, now, I'm going back to the warm fuzzy memories of a book that had lots of emotionally charged issues, but I enjoyed getting through it. I listened to the audio book version of Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl. YA book about a young woman going to the first semester of college dealing with her own mental health issues through fan fiction writing. And actually making new friends even though it seems impossible and she self-sabotages quite a bit. It had moments that were hard for me due to my own issues around college, making friends, and mental health, but it read as hopeful without being saccharine. Also, pretty positive portrayal of both people who love fanfiction and an authority figure who does not "get it".
