I really wanted to give this 5*. I hoped this book would live up to my expectations. First of all, it's about superheroes. I fucking love superheroes! And second of all, the Main Character is Vietnamese (hello? Same!) and bi (again!). I identified heavily with Jess and I loved how her background was written into the story. Little things like her going to a banh mi shop, about her going to Saturday School to learn (i think it was ) Mandarin, them naming the little Monrobot Cha... It all felt so close to home! Now onto other things... Nothing happened in 80% of the book. The reveal that her crush was also M was ... well not surprising at all considering it's written on the synopsis. Like ? They just revealed the whole story already. It was boring. And all the action and stuff happened at the end of the book. The villain seemed... really flat too. Maybe it's writte for a younger audience, but I didn't like the whole thing with the villain. And the ending just felt way too easy! They just let them off hook? Just that easily? And again, while i loved the cute little romance that happened over the book, there was no real plot otherwise and then everything happened at the end. I'm disappointed I wished I would've liked it more but alas I didn't! I'll probably give the sequel a try and don't put my expectations too high... Also what bothered me... It's the fucking future and people still were looking at her weirdly because she's bi? Alright I would've thought by then it was more normal but yeah.
