A review by amyhungerford
Carry on by Rainbow Rowell
3.0
Star Rating: 2.5 Stars
This rating makes me sad. I have loved every other Rainbow Rowell book so far.
I'll be honest... I do not get this book.
Maybe if I read Fangirl first, I would love this too. But I did not.
It was honestly pretty boring, and I couldn't get myself to care about any of the characters. I know its based off of fan fic from Fangirl, but it reads like fan fic and I AM NOT HERE FOR THAT. This is a published book. I expect quality.
I spent most of the trying to match up each character with their Harry Potter counterpart. I mean, Rainbow Rowell didn't even really try to break from Harry Potter.
And I do not get the Simon/Baz obsession. For most of the book, its a one sided affection with other side giving no indication they're remotely interested in the other.
AND THEN.....
Sexy, sexy guy-on-guy kisses.
WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?!
