This is a book I was incredibly excited to get and then simply...didn't read it. You know how it is. In any case, my excitement was justified because this book is good. 

Riley was such a lively character: she seemed real and her responses to everything that would happen were understandable. The side characters were all developed enough to ensure and interesting story, written in such a way as to let us know as much about them as we would have if we had met them. The love interest was just... electric, I enjoyed her presence on the page and how her relationship with Riley developed. 

I did not expect unions to be such a large part of this YA book, but it very much worked within the context of everything. It was a plot that was given a lot of attention and care to. 

The worldbuilding was good, we weren't revealed everything, just enough to make us understand why and how everything happened. I enjoyed all the commentary of superpowers and how they would impact the real world. It was all vivid: characters we were meant to hate were easy to feel that way towards and vice versa. 

Most of all I enjoyed the dry, humorous writing-style of the author. Although there wasn't really anything entirely unexpected in the plot, the book was funny, which I enjoyed immensely. 

Overall, a great addition to the catalogue of super-themed books, fresh and enjoyable.
