Synopsis: Nick Bell? Not extraordinary. But being the most popular fanfiction writer in the Extraordinaries fandom is a superpower, right?
After a chance encounter with Shadow Star, Nova City’s mightiest hero (and Nick’s biggest crush), Nick sets out to make himself extraordinary. And he’ll do it with or without the reluctant help of Seth Gray, Nick's best friend (and maybe the love of his life).
Review: I really forgot how much I loved this book the first go around and now I love it even more! It's an absolutely amazing book with a fun story (I've also discovered I like superhero storylines lol). The characters were amazing, the diversity was on point, and the world building was immaculate. I also loved the tropes, I loved how the author switched up the Mary Jane like story to one for a male character, and I loved how well written it was.
My only issue with the book is that I wish that there was more to the superheroes than just fighting each other all the time. I kinda wanted to see them interact more with their environment, but it was still amazing overall!
Verdict: Absolutely amazing.
