Fangirl Questions

Bring on the tough stuff - there’s not just one right answer.

  1. Why do Cath and Wren have such different reactions to their mom leaving?
  2. Why does Laura show an interest in returning to her daughters' lives, go to the hospital when Wren is sick, and bail on both daughters again without even seeing Wren or giving Cath a hug?
  3. Does Cath's dad's mania help him come up with advertising ideas? Does his depression hurt his career as much as the mania helps?
  4. Why is it so hard for Cath to write about herself?
  5. Why hasn't Cath noticed boys until she gets to college?
  6. Why does Rowell include Simon Snow excerpts, both canon and fanfiction? How do they serve the overall narrative?
