This book was pure campy fanboy and it leaned into it so hard. You gotta honor that commitment. Nick is a sweet precious cinnamon roll (albeit an oblivious one) surrounded by a community who loves him. This book had so much potential to go wrong, with a straightforward plot and the close relations to the police, but it didn't. Everything that you might view as a shortcoming was instead embraced more as a trope. And that in itself was a twist enough for me!

Sometimes you just want to read a happy book, and this was that.

Nick Bell? Not extraordinary. But being the most popular fanfiction writer in the Extraordinaries fandom is a superpower, right?

After a chance encounter with Shadow Star, Nova City’s mightiest hero (and Nick’s biggest crush), Nick sets out to make himself extraordinary. And he’ll do it with or without the reluctant help of Seth Gray, Nick's best friend (and maybe the love of his life).
