Story
The story is supposed to be over. Simon Snow did everything he was supposed to do. He beat the villain. He won the war. He even fell in love. Now comes the good part, right? Now comes the happily ever after. So why can’t Simon Snow get off the couch? What he needs, according to his best friend, is a change of scenery. He just needs to see himself in a new light. That’s how Simon and Penny and Baz end up in a vintage convertible, tearing across the American West. They find trouble, of course. (Dragons, vampires, skunk-headed things with shotguns.) And they get lost.

Story
Cath and Wren are identical twins, and until recently they did absolutely everything together. Now they're off to university, and Wren's decided she doesn't want to be one half of a pair any more - she wants to dance, meet boys, go to parties and let loose. It's not so easy for Cath. She's horribly shy and has always buried herself in the fan fiction she writes, where she always knows exactly what to say and can write a romance far more intense than anything she's experienced in real life.

Now that his dad's making a comeback, Luc's back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything. To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice normal relationship...and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He's a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and someone who has never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. He’s perfect boyfriend material.

When Ollie meets Will over the summer break, he thinks he's found his Happily Ever After. But once summer's ended, Will stops texting him back and Ollie finds himself short of his fairy-tale ending. A family emergency sees Ollie uprooted and enrolled at a new school across the country - Will's school - and Ollie finds that the sweet, affectionate and comfortably queer guy he knew from summer isn't the same one attending Collinswood High. This Will is a class clown, a basketball jock and, well, a bit of a jerk.

Summary
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 roommate 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.
Based on the characters Simon and Baz who featured in Rainbow Rowell's best-selling 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.

Possibly better for tweens
I'm a middle-aged woman, but I regularly enjoy audio books that are written for children and young adults. This time, however, I wasn't impressed. There are lots of mentions of incidents that happened in the years before this book, and there is an awful lot of tortured (and torturous) teen romance. The story itself seems to be told in between comments about past incidents and mooning over other students.

I loved it. The voicing was perfect. Characterization (changes for the women and other men and all) was on point.

Totally magical
I'd recommend this book to any Harry Potter fan or follower of Mike Carey's Unwritten series. Funny from start to finish, a really interesting take on the fictional physics of magic, the collective unconscious and the evolution of language. Some brilliant and obvious plot staples that hide in plain sight all the big twists and, cannot overstate by refreshing an LGBT+ fantasy novel. 10/10 will absolutely listen again.

Listened to this book lots - objectivity's hard
I really really like 'Carry On' (all of Rainbow Rowell's books work well for me, but this is the perfect combination of plot, characters and romance - plus, it's gay, they're roommates, and Baz is a vampire). As a book, it's not perfect - which is why I've given it only 4 stars out of a possible 5 (but an overall score of 5/5 because I just love it).
That said, actually some of the things that I sort of like but I think people would quibble with in the text (like all the many many line breaks and broken sentences) are completely hidden in this version. And it's clear what Rowell is doing with her writing, in that it sounds completely natural read out.
The first time I listened to it, I thought the performance was only OK. I sort of wished that they'd cast two actors as Simon and Baz (I know there are other voices but these are the main two), and there are a few moments where big action is happening and the character voices are still quite flat, as though they're still bantering with each other. I do still think more could be done with these scenes from a direction point of view, but this is massively suppassed by the vast number of things that Euan Morton gets right (practically everything, all the voices are amazingly distinct - and the narration is as interesting as the dialogue, which is also delivered really well even though he's talking to himself). I could and have listened to him for hours.
I very much recommend getting this book - although I'd probably try Fangirl first.

Great narration
This book was a lot of fun. The twists and turns if the plot were a little *too* foregrounded, removing the element of surprise. But the characters were endearing and very well fleshed out, and I bought the romance wholesale. The re-imagining of chosen one narratives was fresh and enjoyable.
The brilliant narrator really gave each character a unique voice, which I wouldn't necessarily have done in my head if I read the text.
