Must Read For Anyone Starting University!
I very much enjoyed this book. I read this book in one day. I loved Cath, I felt that she was easy to like and she was realistic, I think her thoughts, feelings and actions were easy to relate to.
This book is about finding yourself as you transition from teenager to adult and learn to live alone for the first time.
I can't recommend this enough, I think everyone can gain something from this story!

There are a lot of different editions of this book! I'd recommend looking them up if you're interested in fan art or author Q&A's! Also, there are two other books related to Fangirl, there is Carry On which is a full novel about the Simon and Baz fanfiction Cath writes in Fangirl. Also, Cath and Levi make an appearance in the author's adult novel Landline, if you're interested in that!

Ever since I was born, I was dope.
After watching @The Lonely Island Presents: The Unauthorized Bash Brothers Experience (2019) , I was in the mood to re-watch one of my favorite movies. I was also aghast that I hadn't reviewed this yet.
I've loved The Lonely Island since Lazy Sunday, and I'm on a Boat was basically the anthem for my senior year of college (university). This is one of my favorite mockumentaries out of all of them. The songs are hilarious, and any movie that starts out with the line, 'Ever since I was born, I was dope', is going to be completely absurd. The crude nature of the songs always makes me laugh out loud, and I have the CD in my car. My favorites are 'Karate Guy', and 'Finest Girl (Bin Laden Song)', and they still make me snort-laugh whenever I hear them.
The humor isn't for everyone, most songs are explicit, with sometimes cringe-worthy detail, but it makes it funnier to me.

Another unreliable narrator?
Six Oxford University friends go on holiday to France and stay in the holiday home of one of their parents. Everything seems fine, everyone seems to be enjoying themselves, until the neighbour, Severine, turns up. And then she disappears. They’re all questioned at the time, they go home and get on with their lives.
Ten years later, the case reopens when Severine’s body is found down the Farmhouse’s well which had been filled in. Everyone is under suspicion. And it feels that way as you read it. Even the the character that we see the story through, Kate, seems likely to have murdered her.
This isn’t one of your pacy thrillers, there’s lots of description and back story concerning Kate’s new business, but it’s actually quite interesting. The relationships between the five surviving ‘friends’ shows an interesting dynamic.
Not a neat little ending either - which I really like. I enjoyed this.
Thanks to the Pigeonhole and Lexie Elliott for reading along!
