Heroine Worship by Sarah Kuhn
3.0
Disclosure: I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
If you're looking for a bubblegum-pop read this summer, pick up Heroine Worship! It's the second book in a series (book 3 - Heroine's Journey - is out July 3rd), but can be read as a standalone.
Heroine Worship is the story of a girl who's used to being needed, used to doing things her way, and used to others' praise for saving the world (or San Fran, anyway). Now, Aveda Jupiter - aka Annie Chang - is having an identity crisis. She's not superhero-ing now that San Francisco has been saved from demons (for the time being), and she's not sure what to do with herself. When one's whole life is tied up in their super identity, how do you handle down time? In 2 words: Aveda's not.
When her BFF Evie Tanaka gets engaged and asks Aveda to be maid of honor, Aveda takes to the role like a duck to water. Or is it fish to water? I'm misplacing my animals. In any case, Aveda decides she's going to be the BEST maid of honor, EVER. For Evie, of course. Never mind what Evie thinks, Aveda's going to make sure it's perfect!
Hijinks and hilarity ensue, with a healthy dose of enraged Bridezillas and a demon on the loose. Will Aveda learn to chill? Or will her obsessiveness with doing things perfectly drive everyone else batshit crazy? I'm not telling; you'll just have to pick this up and check it out for yourself.
