"So underrated. I think people go into it expecting it to be a continuation of the wonderful romance from Carry On, without even realizing the other parts of the story. I've seen people say that it doesn't tie up the loose ends, but I didn't see any loose ends to begin with. From a writers standpoint, if Rowell totally tried to finish the plot in regards to Simon's past and his parents, the story would've likely been very dry. I think this sequel was just as good as the first book, and I'm super excited to start the 3rd. "

"Honestly, this is a really good “palette cleanser” book. If you’re in a reading slump (and you’ve already read the first book) this is a great pick-me-up. "

"I enjoyed the travel aspect of this story a lot more than the first. I'm just kind of bummed I'm not learning much more in each addition about the magic, vampires, and other things. These stories always leave a lot to be desired. They tell of magical creatures but never going into great detail.<br/><br/>It was interesting seeing them explore a new country and of course Baz making a list of everything he hated about it. I honestly though just like the perception of Brazelton and Simon. I think it follows too many characters whom of which sides of the story doesn't add to the plot.<br/><br/>The romance to me in the background of the first book almost seemed to come to a complete halt this go around. I enjoyed the book but didn't feel like I got far after reading it.<br/><br/>These are a modern day fun light read which I really need sometimes."

"It was a pretty fun read, but Rowell should've stopped after the first book. "

"IT WAS SO WHOLESOME AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME!!! I loved how their feelings and insecurities portrayed in a way that felt real. The ending is little wonky but overall 😤🤌✨"

"This one was amazing as well. I’m hoping that rereading it will give me a better clarity as to why I loved it so much and will help me fall in love with the world and the characters again. "
