What real readers are saying about We Could Be Heroes:
I ADORED it. This book warmed my cold little heart so much. I loved the characters everyone was so full of life. Ultimately, a really uplifting, hopeful, beautiful love story that's so badly needed in the world today
I havent read a pairing like this before a superhero actor and drag queen and loved this! The entire thing felt like a love letter to superhero movies, albeit with more LGBTQ+ love. Cute!
A feel-good romance with something interesting to say. It's character-centred and lovely characters they are, too -with the queer politics as a subtle undercurrent that adds depth. Enjoyable, relatable, and empowering
Vacillating between Golden Age Hollywood and the modern day, WE COULD BE HEROES is as sweet as movie theatre popcorn
