Welcome to Litsy!

Nick Bell, a 16yo with ADHD, has a big crush on and writes fanfic about the local superhero, Shadow Star.

There were some definite eye-rolling moments with what felt like didactic tick-box inclusion of identities rather than actual characters but also some very funny moments and everything can be forgiven because the reader ends up rooting for the adorable central character, Nick. 👎

I REALLY like TJ Klune. I‘ve only experienced the audiobooks (which are incredible) so was intrigued how I‘d like this on paper. I laughed so hard that I almost could not breathe. Set in a world with superheroes, of a boy who wishes he was one (primarily because of a giant crush he has on one of them). His increasingly misguided attempts to gain powers are baffling and hilarious and his relationship with his dad got me in the feels. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This #Purple cover is another from my local library's online collection that I downloaded today for #LittenListen.

For fans of fanfiction themed stories. Set in a world where superheroes (Extraordinaries) coexist with regular folk, gay teen Nick who suffers from ADHD harbors feeling for his best friend and writing fanfics about his superhero crush Shadow Star. Filled with inside jokes, predictable tropes, YA romance cliches, and comic book action, this was an okay but enjoyable read for me.

Today‘s #bookmail means I have the official text and can start sharing quotes. Besides that, you know what‘s really cool?!? It comes with a reversible cover!

Littens, this book is every bit as wonderful as I expected it to be! Klune‘s YA debut is every bit as magical as The House in the Cerulean Sea. A third of the way through & I‘m reading this thing with a big smile on my face & lots of laughter. If I cry before the end, I won‘t be surprised. Klune writes books filled with love, compassion, exuberance, & humor. I think this book cements Klune as an automatic buy for me. Now to keep reading...
