I’m honestly kinda disappointed that I didn’t like this.  I just couldn’t get into it.

It was way too quick paced to the point I just didn’t care about anything that happened.  The dialogue was stiff and just overall felt like it was for a much younger audience rather than a YA book.

The friendships and side characters just kinda fell flat.  Especially when the plot twist happened in chapters 24/25.  I just honestly didn’t care at that point what happened.  Even the ending seem so rushed and I don’t understand why.

I will say the plus sized rep was nice along with some of the queer rep but that was about it for me.

A fat superhero is something the world needs this year! It’s a great story about Faith and I do hope there will be more to come!
