** spoiler alert ** This is the story of 18 year old Cath’s freshman year at collage. She is an identical twin, who is forced to discover her own identity, in large part by her sister Wren casting her adrift before they get there (by refusing to room with her). We follow her interesting and often surprising journey. She has the usual settling in to a new life troubles, made worse by her sister not just abandoning her, but appearing to thrive with the separation. Add to the mix a little roommate friction, some serious family drama, intensive fan fiction writing, discovery of boys and a general fear of life to contend with. Then top it off with falling in love for the first time! This book is all about the transition from child to adult and the author handles it so well. She has crafted a gorgeous cast, that you really care about. I could identify a lot of myself in both Cath and Reagan (who I’d so want for a best friend). There is magic in these here pages - and not just the Simon & Baz ones either! One of my best bits is the Emergency Kanye Party (chapter 11). And the Dinning Room Observations!! Love the insights into the book and the author from the interview with author at the end and the art works on both sides of the covers. I really hope for a sequel. Guess the only thing to do now is get ‘Carry On’ to read!
