Writer Quote by Rainbow Rowell
““Cath wanted to work on her own story now. Not the one for class. "Carry on". "Carry on" was Cath's story. Thousands of people were reading it. Thousands of people wanted her to finish. This story she was supposed to be writing for class? Only one person cared if she finished it. And that one person wasn't even Cath.””
