Today's post is on Not Your Sidekick by C.B. Lee. It is the first in her first in her Sidekick Squad series. It is 283 pages long and is published by Duet Publishing. The cover is orange with the main character jumping over something and a hero flying behind her. The intended reader is young adult, someone who likes superhero stories, and love stories. There is very mild foul language, kissing, and mild violence in this book. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- Welcome to Andover… where superpowers are common, but internships are complicated. Just ask high school nobody, Jessica Tran. Despite her heroic lineage, Jess is resigned to a life without superpowers and is merely looking to beef-up her college applications when she stumbles upon the perfect (paid!) internship—only it turns out to be for the town’s most heinous super-villain. On the upside, she gets to work with her longtime secret crush, Abby, who Jess thinks may have a secret of her own. Then there’s the budding attraction to her fellow intern, the mysterious “M,” who never seems to be in the same place as Abby. But what starts as a fun way to spite her superhero parents takes a sudden and dangerous turn when she uncovers a plot larger than heroes and villains altogether.
Review- A very cute love story with a serious background plot. Jess is a lot of fun and I found her to be pretty relatable, she is the middle child of an extra-ordinary family with hero parents and older sister and then her younger brother is a genius. She feels left out of all that. So she decides to get an internship and she does enjoy working for her parents villains but slowly she starts to discover things about the world and herself. The love story between her and Abby is very cute with the two of them trying to express themselves but are also afraid to do so. I really enjoyed this love story. I really enjoyed this story in total from the world to the characters to the way that young love was handled. I look forward to reading the next one in this series.
I give this book a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this book from my local library.
