![]() ![]() It’s a book I’d recommend to any superhero fans, or really anybody who’s watched a superhero show or movie and thought, “Oh man, that poor girl/guy. How to Date a Superhero (And Not Die Trying) was an entertaining and surprising adventure featuring a college girl who is forced to face the impossible. The entire time, however, I was wondering just how long it would last. But Astrid takes it all in stride, moving her schedule around to fit in her new ridiculous reality. I had seasons when I had to schedule every minute as well, and reliving them made me feel anxious all over again. It honestly gave me college flashbacks, and not the good ones. She has to account for every hour of her day, and suddenly this huge wrench is thrown into her plans. This is more about the life of an over-scheduled and anxious college student. I actually found a lot of that part of it humorous, and Fernandez did a great job figuring out the logistics of what these significant others would probably need.Īnother thing I enjoyed about this book is that so much of it is not about superheroes. Or even how inconvenient it probably is to date a superhero! But Fernandez does in this book. We don’t think about what skills they could use, what their personalities should be like, or anything. ![]() ![]() We don’t often think about these characters, really.

How to Date a Superhero (And Not Die Trying) is a young adult novel by Cristina Fernandez. I received an advanced reading copy of How to Date a Superhero (And Not Die Trying) in exchange for an honest review. Well, it’s worth it to be able to stay with Max, right? Right? This group is supposed to teach her how to deal with the fact that they’re dating superheroes, but when Astrid can barely handle all the tasks and responsibilities of being pre-med, she has no time for this new group. After her rescue, Astrid learns that her boyfriend, Max, is actually a superhero, and that she’s supposed to join a group of other superheroes’ significant others. But the schedule effectively goes out the window when a supervillain breaks into her dorm room and tries to kidnap her. Every single part of her life is meticulously tracked in her planner. Even if she’s incredibly good at always knowing the time and what she’s supposed to do, she loves to schedule absolutely everything: from homework and movie nights with her roomie or boyfriend, to even the occasional meltdown. ![]()
