My sister recently got this book for her birthday, and since she hasn't felt up to reading for a while (she's burned out, among other things) she let me borrow it.

My one complaint would be that it's very America-centric (I live in the UK), so some of the ...

I'm not entirely sure who this book is intended for. It is advertised as being for fangirls, which one would think meant they were coming into the book with at least some basic knowledge of general fannish things. But the book reads as if it were for someone completely unfamiliar with any of it. I'm...
