I've come to terms with myself that I can't do YA anymore. I don't read HS drama, because I don't want to read about just that, drama, and teenage sex. I was kind of skeptical to pick up Superhero, but I thought this would be different. This was about a guy who's gay and falls for his straight best friend. I mean, how hard must that be? To be with someone day in and day out and want to hold his hand or kiss him, but you can't because he's straight.

I absolutely ADORED Jordan. He was perfect in my eyes. He knew what he wanted and just took what he could get, but then, it just wasn't enough. The car scene broke my heart. I was literally in tears.

Owen, well, he's the prime example of how your family has too much influence on people. Why can't parents let their kids be themselves? Why pressure them to be something that THEY want them to be? Why get upset if they want to change paths? I get small towns, I grew up in a small town and our sport was high school football. OMG! I felt like I should have been in Texas sometimes "I don't want your life!" It's insane! I love how protective Owen is of Jordy though. I love how nobody will mess with Jordan, because they know Owen will find out.

When the time came for Jordan to cut the apron strings and go his own way and not be "Owen's best friend" anymore, was a crucial point.

I want more from Jordy and Owen. I want to see how their lives are now.

Overall, I am SO glad I took a chance on this YA!
