Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced review copy of this book.

This was fun, but also fairly flat. It read more YA than adult, which is fine, but it also wasn't very deep. I wish this book had pushed further into the idea of losing your history and background and how that affects you.

This book is super special and really funny. It's about two extraordinary people who become the best of friends and how they learn that they can choose who they are. I loved all the characters in the book and the plot was a little confusing but I loved it as well. I wanted to read this book because I'm a huge fan of Marvel and I love superheroes. It did not disappoint. This book makes me want to read more Superhero novels! :D

This was a fun, lighthearted read. Reminds me of the superhero stuff I watched as a kid.
