I absolutely loved this book! The plot left me always wanting to delve further into this universe, constantly seeking more answers and jumping into these characters lives. Also the representation in this book is brilliant. We see plus size, POC, LGBT+ characters and mental health is openly discussed. Also I find the romance between Simon and Baz to be one of the most beautiful queer relationships. It’s not just thrown together for the purpose of attracting readers, it is two broken souls finding comfort in one another, opening themselves up and breaking down walls as they start to begin a passionate and heartfelt relationship. The humour of the book gives a light hearted feel, but the themes are heavy to the attentive reader so I would advise being careful if you are sensitive to more mature content. It’s a must read for anyone who loves a good romance to die for, and get tissues! This book hits hard!

I loved Carry On because it was almost like a sequel to Fangirl (also by Rainbow Rowell. Read it.) , and both are awesome! All the characters were well written (made? Don't ask me) and had their own points of view. I admired Ebb especially, because she preferred goats (goats!) to power, and who doesn't want power? (Don't say Ebb. That was a rhetorical question.) Simon's realization at the end (no spoilers!) was a great twist to the story as well. It's a very magical story, and well-written too. Anyone who has read Fangirl (or any one of Rainbow's books) should definitely read this.

I thought this book was good. A lot like Harry Potter but I still liked it a lot.
