About this listen
Who wants to be a superhero?
Hope did, but she grew out of it. Which made her superhuman breakthrough in the Ashland Bombing, just before starting her freshman year at the University of Chicago, more than a little ironic. And now she has some decisions to make.
Given the code-name "Astra" and invited to join the Sentinels, Chicago's premier super-team, will she take up the cape and mask and become a career superhero? Or will she get a handle on her new powers (superstrength has some serious drawbacks) and then get on with her life plan?
In a world where superheroes join unions and have agents, and the strongest and most photogenic ones become literal supercelebrities, the temptation to become a cape is strong. But the price can be high - especially if you're "outed" and lose the shield of your secret identity.
Becoming a sidekick puts the decision off for awhile, but Hope's life is further complicated when The Teatime Anarchist, the supervillain responsible for the Ashland Bombing, takes an interest in her. Apparently as Astra, Hope is supposed to save the world. Or at least a significant part of it.

Mary Sue saves the world
Main Character
Good Christian girl, Queen bee of her High School, Cheerleader, Rich family, Star of the social elite.
So amazing the greatest superhero in the world falls in love with her at first sight. Note: the significantly older superhero.
Bad Guy.
Shows up 3 times, explains how important and amazing the Main Character is to the world of tomorrow then is defeated without the help of the Main Character.
Secondary Bad Guys
Mexican drug cartels, Islamic extremists, Nationalist Chinese. All working together to defeat the evils of the great America.
This book was a fun read untill you start spotting the absolute lack of depth in the plot.
Added ick factor is the narrator sounds quite young and the MC is described as waif like and young looking several times only for her to enter into a relationship with her significantly older superhero mentor.
