Just curious, but what should a book have to reflect the fandom experience? Parts of it were terrible, but I thought Fangirl did an okay job of depicting a person who uses fandom as a coping mechanism. Ship It, another fandom book, was super cringey, but I read and thought, "Yeah, these types of fans definitely exist."

I'm curious about that too. I haven't read either book but now my interest is piqued...

I haven't read Fangirl in a while (/disclaimer), but I remember thinking that it was a really narrow view of fandom? Agree that it did an okay job depicting fandom as coping mechanism, but I remember thinking that Cath's fandom experience felt super isolating, whereas in my experience fandom is more about connecting. It just felt tonally off.
