Carry On

"Carry On" by Rainbow Rowell....how does a rabid (RABID) fan of this book even begin to describe it?

"Carry On" is a book about a book (aka "Harry Potter") dreamed up from another book ("Fan Girl" (also by Rainbow Rowell)). In this book ("Carry On"), two rivals (Simon Snow (aka Harry Potter) and Tyrannus "Baz" Bastilon Pitch (aka Draco Malfoy) are the two main characters/main narrators. It's filled with magic and a great big bad villain (The Insidious Humdrum (aka Voldemort)) and angst and love and ancient magical families. Oh! And they all go to a magical boarding school: Watford (aka Hogwarts). 

Okay, a non-fan description: 

Simon Snow is The Chosen One, destined to destroy the Insidious Humdrum, an evil entity going around Greater Britain creating havoc, killing innocents, and sucking up magic, leaving dead spots in his wake. 

Is Simon good at this? Most will say yes. He'll say "meh". It's not his fault that he can't get his wand to work and half the time he does, he catches something on fire or blows something up. 

Baz'll say no; he's the worse chosen one to ever be chosen (his exact words).

Baz. Baz is Simon's "Sworn Enemy" (Simon's exact words, mind you). And a vampire (yet to be confirmed). And his roommate (and they were roommates...).

Baz's biggest secret? He's hopelessly in love with--

I'm gonna stop there. You're going to have to read it. I mean it. You're going to have to read it.

I've read it at least 3 times. I'm going to reread it here soon again. It's amazing, thrilling, beautiful.

Also, Rowell is coming out with a sequel (A SEQUEL) sometime later this year. Who can't freaking wait? Spoiler: me.
