This book follows Nick as he navigates through life and learns what it means to live in a world where kids have to balance the human and the superhuman. Nick and his friends are just teenagers but are they really? Along with all that good teenagey stuff that everyone else is dealing with, Nick, Gibby, Jazzy, and Seth also have to manage some "extraordinary" things. This book was a breath of fresh air. The humor and the graceful way Klune navigates difficult topics like mental illness and sexuality all contribute to how truly wonderful and different this book was. Nick has ADHD and suffers from panic attacks and chronic cluelessness, all of which make him that much more lovable and relatable. There were some moments where I thought I'd surely die of second hand embarrassment on his behalf but it was worth it. His relationship with his friends is heartwarming to say the least and the way they navigate the unchartered waters of love and adulthood together is a beautiful example to young teens. I enjoyed this book immensely.
