Oh, I really enjoyed this!

It’s a little bit dystopian, it’s a little bit feminista and it’s a whole lot of fun.

While this is definitely a YA book, and sometimes potentially leaning on younger YA than the age of the characters, the story moves at a good pace and there are a lot of laugh-out-loud moments, mixed with warm-hearted ones. The FMC kicks butt which turns the ‘usual’ love interest/superhero on its head.

On top of all that, I think it also subtly (and sometimes not-so-subtly) prompts the reader to give thought to the perils of inattentive obedience, the power authority can exert and why you should forge your own path and the importance of having your own thoughts and taking the time to discover what is important.

I would definitely read any sequel.

Gimme the sequel neoooooooow!

First off, thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and the author Helen Comerford for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the how unique this story was - a twist on the whole superhero's Love Interest, and Jenna Ray is easily one of my favourite MC's! She gives as good as she gets and she's not your typical helpless Mary sue. If you're a fan of Marvel or DC then you'll love this one, trust me, stop reading this review and get your hands on a copy.

I will say though, I wish the book took place over a longer period of time. Like I get the joke is the superhero and the love interest basically have the rest of their lives planned out after the first "meet cute", but this events of this book happened in literally *POTENTIAL SPOILER* two weeks???

I can't wait to see where this story goes next - SEQUEL! SEQUEL! SEQUEL!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review!

This book was an interesting take on superheroes, and the role of love interests in their stories. It was a fun read that kept me hooked, and I'm eager to read the sequel.
