![]() There are some surprising revelations throughout the course of the story, and I think readers who like fantasy and angsty teenage sagas (ME!) will enjoy Carry On. Both are unique in their own way and both provide a basis for which the reader wants to know more. ![]() Personally, my favorite relationships are the ones between Simon and Baz and Simon and Penny. ![]() It made for really dynamic and well-rounded characters. I really liked this plot device in Carry On. In Carry On, we get a lot of back story on the principle characters, and that helps us, as readers. Based on the characters Simon and Baz who featured in Rainbow Rowells bestselling novel Fangirl, Carry On is a ghost story, a love story, a mystery and a melodrama. To compare it to Harry Potter, at times, everything in Rowling’s books are so focused on Harry, we never get to know too much about the motivations of other characters except in terms of how their motivations relate to Harry. I like that we get to know each character’s background and motivation. Each character is complicated in his or her own right. At times, the narrative seems pretty frenetic, but at the heart of the story and the constant throughout are the friendships and relationships amongst the key characters. Rainbow Rowell has been much-acclaimed: in 2013 she published two books that were named among the best young-adult novels of the year by the New York Times. ![]()
