I really wanted to love this. A fat main character who's also a superhero? And queer??? Count me in!
Unfortunately, I just couldn't get in to it. I'm not a fan of pop culture references even in present day stories and there were just so many of them. I was also a lot more interested in the superhero aspect than the romance aspect and so much of the book was focused on the love triangle between Faith, Dakota, and Johnny. Even while acknowledging that love triangles aren't fun! I was fully skimming by the last 40% or so, but I don't even know if we got a resolution with Johnny or if Faith just started spending more time with Dakota and didn't mention Johnny again post-corn maze.
I think this book may be a hit for someone else, just not for me :/
