Last Night, a Superhero Saved My Life by Liesa Mignogna
4.0
*I received this book through netgalley in exchange for a honest review*
Once again, I've fallen for a book without reading the synopsis first. So, imagine my confusion when I think I'm going to be reading some short stories involving Superheros in people's lives but in actuality it is non-fiction about superheros affecting people's lives.
I thought, "Oh great... this will be interesting." Add an eye roll and only a pinch of sincerity and that is how I was feeling. I still wanted to give it a shot.
So, I started with the introduction... and was actually interested.
Then came the essays and yes, some were a bit boring or not to my taste. Yet, there are so many beautiful pieces here. So, many sad stories... I also cried on multiple occasion. Not to fear though, because there are also funny stories or a mix of the two in one.
These stories are about the importance of Superheros' in a person's life or moments in time. These essays seem to be written from the heart and... and I had/ have so many feelings.
This is a book I think I might read again somewhere down the line. The messages are clear and meaningful in the setting presented.
I definitely want torecommend this book to people.
