Carry On (Simon Snow, #1)

by Rainbow Rowell

“We,” she declares, “are finding out who killed Natasha Grimm-Pitch.” “The legend,” Baz says. Penelope gives him a soft look, the kind she usually saves for me. “So she can rest in peace.”

I, myself, am very soft for the Penny/Baz friendship. I write them together as often as possible. I love the ways that they’re alike – their intelligence, their love for magic, their mutual respect. And I love the ways they poke at each other. Baz is often shocked by Penny’s ruthlessness.
