Seriously, there were moments when I laughed out loud so that my neighbours were probably very confused. It’s like gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay. There are other queer characters! Background lesbians! I love me some background lesbians. Okay, so I spent the whole thing wanting to go up to Simon and say, “The word you’re looking for is bi,” but that was a small matter. I mean, I guess that was to be expected, because of the whole Simon / Baz thing that Cath is obsessed with in Fangirl, but I wasn’t sure if Rowell was going to go the subtext route. I was not meant to be buying books (because I’m skint) or reading non-uni-related books (because I’m behind on work after having been in bed for two days with the flu) but I broke both those rules because I wanted to read this and it was so pretty and I was just so excited and IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT. Now you know this is going to be positive. It’s sort of a mixture of the fanfic that Cath is writing in that book, and the actual series she’s writing about, and it’s just awesome. The advantage of being tremendously late to the Fangirl party was that I didn’t have to wait so long for the Carry On party to start.įor those who aren’t aware, Carry On is based on the fictional fictional characters of Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha and others who are mentioned in Fangirl. When I read Fangirl, the main impression it made on me was the sure knowledge that if a Simon Snow series did actually exist, I would read it in a heartbeat.
