This was good. I got a little confused with the storyline, but so did the main character so I think more will be explained later. Fun!

I really enjoyed Faith. The main character is really enjoyable, and honestly so sweet that I just wanted good things to happen to her. I also loved the diversity of the cast, and the representation!
I’m kind of confused about the plot though. There seemed to be three major things happening that, even with the explanation, still doesn’t make a ton of sense? And some of the character developments seem to happen off screen and so things just seem to happen out of nowhere - like the love triangle that just kind of disappears and the friend drama which felt pretty manufactured for most of the story.
I hope this book gets a sequel though! I definitely want to read more.

It’s as if a pretty good YA realistic fiction novel collided with a seriously pedestrian knock-off of an X-Men comic. The two different story lines never quite mesh. There were some excellent scenes with Faith’s grandmother, some decent romantic Geekerella vibes,— I’m obsessive about my fandoms, too! — but the WTF moments in the science fiction parts of the book just pull everything down.
Very little was resolved, answered, wrapped up, concluded, or even frickin’ *explained.*

I received this as an eARC through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
Last summer, Faith was taken for the summer by an horrific experimental program that gave her superpowers. While her friends and loved ones believe she was away a journalism camp, Faith adjusts to her new life and powers. Not much has changed in her life, she is still hanging out with her best friends and updating her popular blog about her favorite supernatural show. Strange things begin happening around town, like dogs and girls going missing then turning up unexpectedly and extremely altered. Faith is distracted because her favorite show has come to town to film. She develops a friendship and crush on one of the show's leads, Dakota. Even though she might be distracted, Faith won't be able to avoid the mysterious goings on around town.
I love this plus size superhero. Faith is fun and strong. She has real feelings and desires. I can't wait to see how her story continues to evolve.

This did not end the way I imagined it would! Started slow with Faith, a teenage girl ready to graduate, dealing with her questions about her sexuality and the fact that she can fly.
Intrigue and mystery is woven throughout the book with missing pets and people and culminates in a big peak at the end which I quite enjoyed. Faith is a relatable character and I am intrigued to check out the comic books with her in them.

I liked parts of this and didn't like others. The ending felt really rushed to me. I did like having a superhero that doesn't fit the stereotypical superhero body type and the way Faith processes and deals with some of the cultural expectations and the way they affect her own self-image. This book is definitely heavier on the introspection and personal problems and lighter on the larger mystery/villain situation, which is fine, but it just made the mystery feel rather frustrating to me.
