Wayward Son

Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell, 356 pages

This follow-up to Rowell's fantastic Harry Potter-if-they-acknowledged-the-gay-undertones-and-gave-Hermione-her-due novel Carry On finds Simon Snow, his smart best friend Penelope, and his former-enemy-now-boyfriend Baz road-tripping through the American west in pursuit of their friend Agatha, who has suddenly gone off the grid. All three pals are a bit lost, emotionally speaking, and while it's certainly not their intention to find themselves on the road, like many fictional American road trips, that's certainly what happens here. In between fighting off vampires and visiting Carhenge and whatnot, that is. I loved revisiting these characters, and since it ends on a definite cliffhanger, I'm so excited to see what Rowell has in mind for them next.
