For fans of Carry On by Rainbow Rowell and Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli, you’ll fall in love with this fantastical, queer romance. Claire has been obsessed with the superheroes of Warrior Nation since she was a young girl. Now, Claire has an opportunity to work alongside her heroes as an intern for the Chicago branch of Warrior Nation. What she doesn’t anticipate is falling for the newest WarNat addition, Girl Power aka Joy. Girl Power is more than meets the eye as Claire soon learns. On the other hand, Bridgette has had enough of WarNat and wants to return to her “normal” life. She is dating the famous Vaporizer, aka Matt, and is sick of being put on the back burner while he runs off to save the city of Chicago.
When Claire and Bridgette meet, Bridgette discovers that she’s going to have to take Claire under her wing to show her the ropes of what it really means to be dating a superhero. Claire and Bridgette soon realize that they will be the ones coming to the rescue as Joy and Matt, along with the other Chicago WarNat heroes, go missing.
