I read this book all in one sitting and come away from it very entertained and with a smile on my face. In my opinion, it's not one of those books that will wow you and that offer a completely new perspective on superheroes, but it does offer a sense of security and feel good factor.

Superheros? Super powers? LGBTQ+ characters? Coming of age? ADHD representation? Fan fiction? All there and all wonderful!

Nick Bell is a popular fan fiction writer in the Extraordinaries fandom and he so happens to have a crush on Nova City's Extraordinary hero Shadow Star. Shadow Star and Pyro Storm fight over the city and Nick sets out to make himself Extraordinary as well so he can help people in his beloved city.

The premise for this is interesting enough and it does live up to it, but there's quite a lot more twists and turns than you would expect. It is a fun and fast paced story, but also quite predictable.

I am sure Nick Bell is probably the most clueless character I've ever read - he misses every single hint and sign that's thrown at him and he is completely oblivious to the things happening around him. However, Klune writes this in such a way that makes it charming and amusing rather than frustrating.

Overall, this was a very entertaining story with some really funny moments, good representation and cute relationships/friendships.
