Book Review: Fangirl by Angel Lawson
Hey my lovelies, I am going to be completely
honest with you guys here. I did not buy this book, I actually read it on Wattpad for
free (link here). If you did not know Wattpad is a website which people can post their stories on and get feedback. Recently a few authors have been posting there published novels on their to get publicity for there books. Which makes it great for us, as we get to read them for free and it is all completely legal.
But I have to say I immensely enjoyed it, I was planning to
go to bed early, but got stuck reading this until 1am and I did not regret it.
After feeling crappy and ill, sometimes you just need a good piece of chick lit
and it was exactly that, with the right amount of fandoms, love, ex-boyfriends
and zombies, Zombies! Not real ones, but if you've read the book you will know what I mean. So if you want a good lighthearted
read, then this is the book for you. Just to note despite the fact that there are zombies in it, it is in no way a fantasy or scifi book, it is a contemporary novel. I rate this 4 stars, due to there not
being any plot holes or unanswered questions. So here is my sixth book review of
2015. . .
Goodreads Summary: Ruby Miller has her summer all planned out. Sitting by the pool. Babysitting
for some extra cash. Packing for college. All of that changes when a fan video
Ruby and her best friend, Iris, create goes viral gaining their little fansite
a ton of hits and the attention of the big wigs in Hollywood.
Ruby and Iris fall into the world of actors, movie sets, teen stars and elusive artists. Not only is their friendship put to the test when Ruby's cast in the lead role of the newest zombie flick, she must straddle the line between fiction and reality, love and lust, and being true to herself.

This as you know if you read my read in January
post was the sixth book I read in January. I really loved the idea of
the concept, which was about a fangirl, who makes a video of her cosplaying her
favourite character and the author of what she is cosplaying watches it and
casts her in the tv series. Every teenage girls (or boys) dream right? But then Ruby has to face the trials and tribunes of
being famous.
*Spoilers from now on* If you have not read the book yet, turn around and go read it. NOW!
The Characters
Ruby is a headstrong teenage girl, who planned on
spending her summer babysitting, but instead when she and her best friend Iris
make a fan vid of their favourite zombie graphic novel, the author watches it
and casts her in the tv/mini series. Ruby is a character that you can relate to and
the fact she is living most peoples dreams of meeting there idols and hitting
it off.
For me personally, I thought that Iris got a bit whiny
at times, when she did'nt get her own way, like when she wanted to make her and
Rubys website more gossipy, but then fell out with her when Ruby did not want
to because she wanted it to be pure and not corrupted. If that makes sense, as
the paparazzi are constantly hounding her and then her best friend who is
supposed to understand her wants to be a part of them.
I liked the ending even though you knew it was
obvious from the beginning when Ruby was in the slutty costume and Gabe saved her
from the crowd. But I would of liked it abit better if Rubys co star Andrew came out with his boyfriend even
though we did meet his boyfriend in the epilogue, but maybe thats just me wanting a happy ending? Although I am happy he dumped
his agent. I really did enjoy this book and I will be reading this again, when
I need a lighthearted read to bring me up.
