“We can’t just sit on our asses and not live our lives while we’re trying to expose a corrupt government.” Just… everything. It’s also hinted at in future books that’s she’s aro/ace? SO NOW I NEED THE REST OF THE SERIES ASAP. Jess was so awkward and relatable and seeing her around Abby had me squealing out loud because it was so awkward and cute and I love them together, okay?īut then again, Bells and Emma- who is Hispanic were also a great supporting cast. icon because it’s so relatable? Abby? Bells-who is black and transexual!!!? I genuinely can’t make up my mind. I can’t choose who my favorite character was: Jess who is my Bi. The Vietnamese/Asian rep, the multiple scenes where pronouns were asked of and being queer wasn’t out of the norm and everything was great. The diversity of the cast was so amazing.
A certain plot device as well as the villain who did hero stuff but was bad at it? The nostalgia was strong in this one. I don’t know if it’s the book covers or the world building, but this book highly reminded me of The Incredibles. However, that didn’t last very long, Jess got her internship and that’s when my smile turned wide and permanent. The pacing in the beginning was a bit slow the book was only thirteen chapters and I read it in an hour, but the start felt lengthy. “Jess is too big for her skin, as if she might float away in the exhilarating possibility of the moment.”
Until she discovers a secret that could shake the superhero/villain world. But it’s fine she just got an paid internship with said crush and things are going well. Which is bad when her parents and older sister are superheros and her younger brother is a genius. Jessica Tran is having a few issues: she’s forgettable, hopelessly crushing on her classmate Abby and doesn’t have superpowers. I wanted something cute and sweet and I don’t think the smile on my face left. It seems I have become very… passionate about this book. Heads up: there’s a lack of coherency in this review. “Maybe Jess was caught up with these ridiculous, impossible ideas because it meant she never had to try for something real.”
