A review by ahoeft09
Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

4.0

I unhinged my jaw to swallow this book whole … and did so within, like, 20 hours. It was so fun to read! I was obsessed that Simon was obsessed with Baz in a Harry-Potter-during-his-sixth-year kinda way, but that it ends in romance!! I also loved that I kinda walked into the middle of a story (never read Fangirl, don’t plan to), and that these huge life-altering experiences are so casually and cavalierly mentioned. It was a new approach for me.

No complaints about the Harry Potter similarities. I dug it.

The climax wasn’t quite as dramatic as I wanted (hence the four stars and not five), but I’m hooked and will likely start and finish book 2 in a couple days.
