Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
5.0

“I just wanted to tell you that I’m going to carry on. As I am.”

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get into Rowell’s books, a damn shame. I will say, I struggled with the first few pages. The near info dump of names and figuring out the magic system took a little while to compute.

That being said, I loved so much about the story that momentary confusion is canceled out.

A magic system based around the idea that words and phrases/songs have power? Immaculate.

The Remus Lupin x Sirius Black vibes are fabulous.

The ending is so beautifully bittersweet it makes my heart ache.

Also the bisexual representation? Obsessed.
