A big thank you to Netgalley and Bloomsbury ANZ for the advanced copy. The Love Interest has been sitting on my Netgalley TBR for a while and since it has already been published, I had to read it.
When Jenna Ray is rescued by Blaze, the newest poster boy for the HPA (the Heroics and Power Authority), the public labels her as "the Love Interest."
Jenna, determined to fight back against the narrative, discovers there is more to her mother's disappearance so she attempts to fake a relationship with Blaze to find out more.
This book is so much fun. See our review for more. Bring on Book 2!

Headlines:
Patriarchal, patronising society
Superhero males
Young female power
This story was a contrast in context. On the one hand it was a enemies-to-romance story, YA style. On the other hand there were rich themes about this patriarchal society where men with powers (not women) saved the day.
Jenna Ray was saved from a burning building by Blaze, a new superhero. Immediately, the media typecast her as 'the love interest'. Understandably, she didn't want to be seen this way and Blaze came across as somewhat egotistical in relation to all this. Was he oblivious or brain-washed? I wasn't entirely sure until later on. The feminist themes of the story were my favourite aspect but the romance didn't really bite me.
The plot was a little rambling at times and I found it to be a pacey read. I did appreciate the twists in the plot regarding powers in men and women. I found the villians and the heroes both irritating. Equally Jenna Ray and Blaze had their moments of frustration.
The story wrapped up well and overall, this was a likeable read. Thank you to Bloomsbury for the review copy.
