The book’s also about Cath’s fan-fiction. Then there’s Levi, Reagan’s boyfriend, who’s friendly and charming to everyone, and who scares Cath at first – making him wait outside their room when Reagan’s not there, for example – before they become friends. She signs up for a creative writing class, writes with a fellow student, Nick eventually makes friends in her other classes. Terrified by the newness of the place, it takes her some time even to find the dining room in her own residence hall, and it’s only by the determined and exasperated intervention of her older room-mate, Reagan, that she starts loosening up a little and exploring parts of the campus apart from her room and lecture halls. For the first time, they’ll be separated, because Wren wants to start university not as a twin but as herself, and Cath is left upset and off-balance by this decision. I picked this up in Foyles in Stratford a few weeks ago, having vaguely remembered that Jenny at Reading the End had enjoyed Eleanor and Park, also by this author: I read a bit in the middle, and was hooked.Ĭath and her twin sister Wren are off to university in Lincoln, Nebraska.
