Cath and Wren are identical twins, and until recently they did absolutely everything together. Now they're off to university and Wren's decided she doesn't want to be one half of a pair any more - she wants to dance, meet boys, go to parties and let loose. It's not so easy for Cath. She's horribly shy and has always buried herself in the fan fiction she writes, where she always knows exactly what to say and can write a romance far more intense than anything she's experienced in real life.
Without Wren Cath is completely on her own and totally outside her comfort zone. She's got a surly room-mate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about Words . And she can't stop worrying about her dad, who's loving and fragile and has never really been alone.
Now Cath has to decide whether she's ready to open her heart to new people and new experiences, and she's realizing that there's more to learn about love than she ever thought possible.
En af de bedste nørdede ungdoms/voksenbog som jeg har læst i lang tid. En bog om at turde prøve noget nyt, at turde kaste sig ud i livet.
Siden d. 4. august 1996 har jeg skrevet ned hver gang jeg har læst en bog, og er startet forfra med nr 1 hver den 4. august. Da det efterhånden er ved at være en del notesbøger, har jeg besluttet, at fra d. 4. august 2008 går over til blog i stedet for notesbog

It's 1999 and for the staff at one newspaper office the internet is still a novelty. By day, two young women, Beth and Jennifer, spend their hours emailing each other, discussing in hilarious detail every aspect of their lives, from love troubles to family dramas. And by night, Lincoln, a shy, lonely IT guy spends his hours reading every exchange.
At first their emails offer a welcome diversion, but as Lincoln unwittingly becomes drawn into their lives, the more he reads, the more he finds himself falling for one of them. By the time Lincoln realizes just how head-over-heels he really is, it's way too late to introduce himself. What would he say to her? 'Hi, I'm the guy who reads your e-mails - and also, I think I love you'.
After a series of close encounters, Lincoln decides it's time to muster the courage to follow his heart, and find out whether there really is such a thing as love before first-sight.
En rigtig god og anderledes chicklit. Den minder mig i formen lidt om Where rainbows end idet en del af bogen består af e-mailsene.
Interessante personer der føles virkelige. Man kan leve sig ind i de uperfekte

Eleanor og Park

fantastisk
Outsiderne Eleanor og Park er tvunget til at sidde ved siden af hinanden i skolebussen. Som dagene går blomstrer en smuk og fin forelskelse op. Omverdenen modarbejder forholdet og den første forelskelse er ikke ment til at vare evigt, eller?
En af de bedste ungdomsbøger/ voksenbøger jeg har læst længe. Kapitlerne er skiftevis fra Park og Eleanors synspunkter hvilket giver noget ekstra. Som læser lærer man dem begge at kende, og kan dermed bedre leve sig ind i deres historie og derigennem forstå, hvorfor tingene udvikler sig som de gør.
Slutningen er åben, hvad jeg normalt ikke er så begejstret for, men her passer det ligesom til det hele.
Eleanor og Park er ikke lyserød romance med stormende kærlighed, men derimod en stille voksende historie der føles virkelig.
