alisarae 's review for:

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
3.0

I'm a fan of Fangirl, so of course I had to read this.

The way that magic works is genius and funny at the same time. Normal people have to say a phrase a lot and it will be able to be used as a spell with literal consequences by magickal people. For example, "Make a wish!" is a spell that can put out fire.

I love the characters and would read a sequel. Buuuut, for a long time after Baz and Simon kiss, they still fight. A lot. It's tedius and doesn't make sense. I guess I wish the book had more cute couple time and less very confused immature teenage boy time.
