I read the Fangirl novel back in 2020. I had previously read Eleanor & Park and I hated it, so I didn't pick up another Rainbow Rowell book for close to 5 years, but on a whim I tried and loved the first two Simon & Baz books and was looking to prolong the experience while waiting for the third book to be released. I adored the Fangirl story, so I picked up the first volume of the manga this week. It follows the book very well, and the artwork was particularly fun for the emergency dance party. I get brain fog due to health issues and I find that when I cannot focus on a novel, the art of graphic novels helps me stay involved in the story. I'm going to have to pick up volume 2 soon.

I loved the first book and I loved this sequel. This is one of those books that makes me want to finish it in one sitting, but I force myself to savour it knowing how much more enjoyable it will be to make it last. I love Ben and Arthur. Their friends are incredible. Everyone has grown since the first book, yet still have so much growing up to do. At the end of the day, everyone is just trying to do their best. This book made me laugh, melt from heartwarming moments, and gasp at unexpected and difficult situations. Silvera and Albertalli delivered yet another LGBT classic!

Enjoyed this book.Made you think how we can impact each other's lives.

Loving the series.

I loved this book. The best part was the giant spider. I love spiders.

Fun plot line and very enjoyable characters but the ending was predictable.

This book was different than what I usually read. The book starts off with a main character that has little to no idea what is happening to her or the people around her. The book doesn't start to reveal what is happening until almost the end. This leaves the plot confusing and ultimately somewhat hard to understand what is happening at times. The narrator was very unreliable and the other characters were kind of shallow. I wished that there were multiple POVs that way the reader had a better understanding of the plot. That said, I will say the book had me on the edge of my seat most of the time and it was a quick read. I'd say it read like a suspense/mystery/thriller novel for 75% of the book and the other 25% is dystopian and Sci-Fi. It wasn't a book I would read again but I enjoyed it for the short book it was.

V.E. Schwab has been on my TBR list ever since This Savage Song was released, but I hadn't gotten around to reading anything by her yet (so many books, so little time). I picked up the Extraordinary graphic novel, and really liked the storyline. It reminded me a little of The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman mixed with the Harper Connolly series by Charlaine Harris. I love fantasy/dystopian, and this story made me want to move Schwab's novels up on my reading list.
