Mehso-so

I did enjoy the story, insane busy premed student finds out she‘s dating a superhero (at college). What I liked was that it didn‘t stray from the “realness”: you get kidnapped, go to therapy, and attend this dating supers class. What I didn‘t like was how heavy the trope was and the whole ending. Everything with the lab felt so distant, second plot barely alongside the main. Spelling errors were distractions.

A book about a busy premed who, as the title suggests, discovers she's dating a superhero, and so needs to attend dating a superhero classes, because in addition to keeping secrets, you get kidnapped a lot, so there are skills. Astrid has schedules and plans, and a little anxiety, so little bit stressful to read as she tries to juggle all the things, but delightful.
