I really enjoyed this! It was like watching a lovely rom-com. Rainbow Rowell never let's me down.

Cute book, was super boring until Baz got introduced. He made the book imo!

Also idk if this was supposed to be super similar to Harry Potter or if that was a coincidence? It felt like a fan fic not only of her characters from a different book (Simon + Baz), but also a Harry Potter fan fic.

To be honest, I didn't finish this book. I came in with very high expectations - this was highly recommended, I enjoyed Fangirl, and I absolutely love Harry Potter. I just could not get into this book, and I could care less about the characters. I liked the character of Baz to an extent, but not enough to find out what happened to him and Simon.

My problem with this book is that I somehow could not take it seriously. I know, I know. That's my problem; not the book's fault. Carry On is basically about a book from another book, Fangirl (which I loved, btw). If I could just disregard that little fact, I think I would have loved this book more. It's a good book, but I feel like the author didn't really take this seriously. But then again, these characters are fictional characters from another fictional book. So yeah. There was so much going on but at the same time there really wasn't much going on..? I don't know. It was a fun read, but definitely not a must-read.

This was my favorite of the series. Obsessed with all the characters, and the plot was fun. Felt a bit like gay Harry Potter.
