About this eBook

THE HOTLY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL
TO THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER CARRY ON

Simon Snow is back and he's coming to America!

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. They get so lost, they start to wonder whether they ever knew where they were headed in the first place.

With Wayward Son, Rainbow Rowell has written a book for everyone who ever wondered what happened to the Chosen One after he saved the day. And a book for everyone who was ever more curious about the second kiss than the first. It’s another helping of sour cherry scones with an absolutely decadent amount of butter.

Come on, Simon Snow. Your hero’s journey might be over – but your life has just begun.

It was exactly what the characters (and we, the readers) needed. It is both funny and adventurous, but also a look at the consequences of deep, deep trauma. The pacing is amazing: it moves quickly but has these moments of quiet beauty that are just masterful. This book is so incredibly special to me and contains my favorite ever Rainbow Rowell scene. It has won my whole heart.

I haven't even read it yet but I love it you can take these gay boyfriends out of my cold dead hands EDIT: I read it and I'm even more dedicated to the "Keep the Gay Magic Boys Safe" cause

I just have to say: Wow. I'm awestruck. Rainbow Rowell has managed to expand the universe, giving me the answers my overthinking brain desires, yet in the end leaving me with more questions to endlessly fret over. An extremely worthy sequel. I was sitting at the edge of my seat when this book was released, and I can say that I am definitely closer to the edge now. The edge of insanity? curiosity? fangirling induced coma? my overused seat? I'm not sure. I am sure, however, that Rainbow Rowell is a masterful author and that this book was worth every second of the wait.
