Publisher's summary

Number one New York Times best-selling author!

Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One who's ever been chosen.

That's what his roommate, Baz, says. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he's probably right.

Half the time, Simon can't even make his wand work, and the other half, he starts something on fire. His mentor's avoiding him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and there's a magic-eating monster running around, wearing Simon's face. Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were here - it's their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and Simon's infuriating nemesis didn't even bother to show up.

Carry On is a ghost story, a love story, and a mystery. It has just as much kissing and talking as you'd expect from a Rainbow Rowell story - but far, far more monsters.

YES!

Despite a slow start and a woeful lack of Bas early on, Carry On blew me away. I understood that Rowell had to build the world and the lore, so I chalked my impatience up to a strong desire to get to the Simon/Bas drama. And then it started up and I was beyond hooked. I love this book. even though I just finished, I will start it again immediately.

I would read 8 books on Simon Snow... as long as Bas was there to keep things interesting.

The reader sounded too old for these characters, but I fixed that by speeding it up by 1.25 speed.

Rainbow Rowell !!!

I am decades beyond being a teenager but I always enjoy Rainbow Rowell. She knows how to write a YA book that anyone of any age can enjoy.

Favorite series from my Favorite Author

I can’t say enough about Carry On, I’ve loved this book for years, and even now it breaks my heart in such a perfect way. Rainbow Rowell’s style is so incredibly touching, and funny, and romantic; you don’t wanna stop reading/listening. The performance is excellent too, Euan Morton gives every character a dynamic voice and adds incredible life to the narration. Absolutely amazing.

👌👌👌

was reading harry potter over christmas and got awfully sad at the lack of happy queer teenagers. this is awfully therapeutic, this is, conciddering my life as a (mostly) happy, queer.. not teenager but close enough i guess. i'm an adult now. (i'm the same age as simon, isn't that fun).

i love carry on. it's one of my favourite books. i've always wanted to get my hands on the audio book so i can read it even when my hands and eyes are occupied.

it's just so sweet. it tackles sexuality and trauma and all through the lens of a chosen one narrative set in a fantasy world. how can i not love that.

big turnaround!

I did not expect to love this book as much as I do!

I took a chance on it because I was looking for gay stuff that had actual plot and maybe some magic. I had almost given up after the first few chapters thinking that the whole book was going to be the main character talking morosely to himself.. but hang in there good reader! Bas will show up to save the day! he breathes sudden life into the story and his interaction with everyone else start a Cascade effect of excitement an unexpected turns! highly enjoyable characters a remarkably enjoyable magic system, and plenty of flirting ( of a sort) along the way. hang in there it's good stuff!

Simon <3

I discovered Rainbow by accident, but I've been so delighted by all off her books. Carry On is fantastic, and the audiobook is quite a production. The character voices are charming and distinct. Truly it's almost too easy to listen!

So sarcastic and cute

I loved this book. "Carry On" is a fantastic and adorable story. I hope Simon and Baz get another book. Baz was absolutely my favorite character with his sarcastic personality. This book may cause you to squeal internally and externally.
