First, you need to find out what kind of person Carrie is. If she is a book lover who likes to share good books, your request to borrow the novel might be successful. However, if she is possessive about her books, it might be a bit difficult. You could also offer something in return, like lending her one of your books in the future, to increase your chances of borrowing the novel.
It depends on Carrie. If the novel is very precious to her or she is currently reading it, she may not lend it. But if she is kind-hearted and doesn't mind sharing, then you have a good chance of borrowing it.
