A review by finitha
Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
5.0
Since 'Wayward Son', the second book in the series has come out, I thought I will start with the first book. I was informed that there are no cliffhangers at the end. True, but it leaves something worse than that; a sense of doom. As expected the second book evolves on this issue and sadly it is not yet resolved (I had a peek at the end of 'Wayward Son' to be sure).
But we are not here to talk about 'Wayward Son'. Let's just blot out its existence and think of the happily ever after on which 'Carry On' ends. If you haven't heard about this book, then let me enlighten you. This is the gay version of Harry Potter (with a mix of Twilight). The story is almost the same but shorter and with a gay love story. It is cute, magical and romantic. As you must have guessed by now, I didn't swoon at the end being highly suspicious of the 'ever after' part.
Baz and Simon are one of the best gay couples I have encountered. Their predicament is heart throbbing and I closed the book with a heavy heart. Will love be enough for Simon? Well, let's hope the next books will answer to that. Considering the amount of time Rowell took to write the second book, I guess we are in a rather long wait.
