This book is a very solid middle book. I’ll confess if it wasn’t for the characters who I have deeply loved since reading Carry On I doubt I would rate the book this high but I am biased. 
As before Rowells dialogue is funny and concise and the plot is perfectly fine. It does however make you feel like the story is incomplete and as I read and finished this before the third book was announced I was left somewhat disappointed in the conclusion. However with the context of the third book this is a perfect segue. Bridging the gap between books and offering a new backdrop to the adventures of our four main characters after Watford

5.0

THIS is what I wanted Carry On to be. Big and silly, dumb and fun, not too serious, but all heart. And hella gay.

Whoever said this was disappointing didn't read the same book.
