9. I wish it were; that would be hilarious

In Fangirl (for those that don't know) the protagonist writes fan fiction for what is, essentially, Harry Potter (the names are changed to protect the copyright). Carry On is essentially just her fan fiction since we only get snippets in Fangirl. Wayward Son is the sequel.

One thing Rowell does, though, that you will maybe appreciate, is that magic is done by using on-topic phrases, cliches, music, other literature, and other things. So, carry on my wayward son, as song lyrics, are totally in place in this world she creates.
