Rainbow Rowell, Carry On

"i didn't let myself dwell on any of the good things, you know? it's the good things that'll drive you mad when missing them"

if you read Wayward Son the moment it got released, almost in one sitting, and missing snowbaz so much that only looking forward to another chapter 61

you were probably underwhelmed and not satisfied

because so was I, I did the same, I felt the same

go.back.

read.it.again.

Wayward Son is a you-need-to-read-for-second-time kind of book and you will find that it’s refreshing after the events of carry on, but equally filled with clever adventures. It’s empathetic, very real in terms of trauma survivor relationships and also has such, such tinder snowbaz moments.

trust me, I couldn’t be more wrong in my impressions the first time because I inhaled the book only to see what simon and baz were up to

don’t do that, read it again, experience all of it, and appreciate the world and the characters rainbow rowell so meticulously created, and so very much loves (that we all love)

“No, Simon. No. We can’t come apart like this. We’re not made of pieces that come apart.”

“I know I’ll never love anyone like I love Baz”

“This was my life to find love. The truest love. The biggest. But it isn’t my life to have it.. I’m too. . . broken”

"I never thought I'd be the first thing you gave up on."

Dead

I’m broken I’m dying
