Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell
4.0
In this sequel to [b:Carry On|32768522|Carry On (Simon Snow, #1)|Rainbow Rowell|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1481729252l/32768522._SX50_.jpg|43346673], the big bad has been vanquished, love has been found and school is over. But Simon (who still has wings and a tail, and no more magic, by the way) is depressed, barely getting up from the couch and eating junk food all day. So Penny decides that to kick him out of his funk, she, Simon and Baz will go on a road trip to the United States, to see Agatha, who has been ignoring her. Meanwhile, Agatha stumbles into a cult of vampires who want to steal her magical power. So the retired heroes have to dust off their capes again.
Reminder: this is basically a fanfiction of a fictional series created in [b:Fangirl|16068905|Fangirl|Rainbow Rowell|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1355886270l/16068905._SX50_.jpg|21861351]. It’s quite niche and I advise not stumbling upon it by accident not knowing what to expect. That said, it is hilarious and the magical system is super ingenious and original. I laughed out loud many times. Like the time the trio (from the UK) realized, San Diego is not four hours from Chicago. Reminded me of the time my cousins from France came over to Quebec, and were planning to drive to the Rockies and then to Gaspésie in the same three-week trip. Europeans are really not used to countries being as big as basically their entire continent XD
So yeah, come for the humour, stay for the Baz/Simon goodness!
