Carry On (Simon Snow, #1)

4.5 Stars
This book is by no means perfect and I don't think it's for everyone. The world could have used a bit more development, there were some plot lines that deserved a little bit more attention, and it's pretty meta, so if that isn't your thing, you may have a tough time with this.
But
This is genuinely one of the most enjoyable books I have ever read. I cried, I laughed, I texted my friend screaming in all caps, I cried again.
Carry On is Rainbow Rowell's take on the "chosen one" trope, and I think she tackled it brilliantly! It was clever and witty and down right hilarious. This book was not what I expected in the best way possible.
If you're anything like me and prefer character based novels over plot based ones, I think you'd enjoy this, because this book is all about the characters. Every single character is funny, three dimensional, and flawed, and I love them ALL (don't even get me started on my love for Baz because I'll never stop). There were so many fantastic relationships between the characters, but above all else, I LOVED the romance. The romance tore my heart to pieces, and I don't think I'll ever recover, but it was absolutely perfect.
Also:
I never thought I'd say this after Twilight, but this book actually made me like vampires again.
I just loved it. I absolutely loved it.

Now I really really want to reread it Hannah! Baz is everything to me. I knew from the moment he blew the Great Hall doors open that he was my child.

I should definitely read this book
Twilight made vampires into overkill. But this sounds cool.
Snowbaz feels <3 I LOVE them together. The ending made me tear up...I love epilogues so much

Hannah, baz's mum did not call him rosebud boy. It was Lucy, she mentions in her pov that she thought simon had heard her.
THIS BOOK IS LIFEAlso what does meta mean?
I was watching one of your videos and I came to add it to my list, guess who the first comment was? 😂😂
I just started reading it and if anything happens to Baz I'll kill everyone in the room and then myself.
Now I really wanna read this book
