Honestly, a very silly and lighthearted story. Very Mystery Men B-superhero type vibe. The main character is a bumbling little nerd, and the love interest is kind of boring…to be honest, I originally thought the mc was going to be in a romance with his nemesis LOL, their dialogue made me laugh out loud a lot of the time. The writing isn’t super my taste, and there’s some grammatical errors throughout but I found myself looking at the characters endearingly as I went on and wanting more which counts for a lot. If you want a quick and silly fun read, this is worth considering picking up!

A light-hearted and entertaining satirical story about the very mundane problems of a superhero stuck between his secret identity and his life as a young adult. The perfect popcorn fiction, the writing is quirky and doesn’t take itself too seriously. 

It loses some points for the grammatical errors that kept popping up here and there. Also, the cover is completely unrelated and doesn't represent the actual story at all.
