This story was unique and wonderful. I felt giddy the whole time. It made me laugh and feel warm. I loved each level of story. First, the story of the fangirl herself, then the Simon Snow canon story that she loved, and then the fanfiction she wrote. So well woven together. It took me back to my teenage obsession with fanfic writing. I'm excited that the story within this story is going to be it's own book in October! Can't wait for Carry On.
Overall, I just loved this book so much. It is by far the lightest of all Rowell's novels, and I truly enjoyed it. I also love how Rowell ends her books. Nothing is ever a nice neat bow at the end, and I love that about her.
Now go. Read it.
