About this eBook
Based on the characters Simon and Baz who featured in Rainbow Rowell's bestselling Fangirl, Carry On is a ghost story, a love story, a mystery and a melodrama.
It has just as much kissing and talking as you'd expect from a Rainbow Rowell story – but far, far more monsters.
Simon Snow just wants to relax and savour his last year at the Watford School of Magicks, but no one will let him. His girlfriend broke up with him, his best friend is a pest and his mentor keeps trying to hide him away in the mountains where maybe he'll be safe.
Simon can't even enjoy the fact that his room-mate and longtime nemesis is missing, because he can't stop worrying about the evil git. Plus there are ghosts. And vampires. And actual evil things trying to shut Simon down. When you're the most powerful magician the world has ever known, you never get to relax and savour anything.

I can't believe how caught up in got in this story. The beginning can feel a little bit confusing as we find ourselves in the middle of Simon's story, but power through! Simon, Baz, Penelope, Ebb, characters that you'll find yourself rooting for, crying for and always praying for. Here's hoping for a sequel!

Carry on is one of my favourite books! The plot is excellent and the perspectives are great. The world, the characters, the romance and the friendship are all so well done in this book and it feels so fresh as we're thrown into the middle of it all head first. It is original and just an overall joy that I read nonstop!

This book has affected me so deeply and I thank everyone who had anything to do with it. I look forward to the hampshire dead spot lifting so I can find my magic. I will find you someday.
