Not Your Sidekick by C. B. Lee

Not Your Sidekick (Sidekick Squad, #1)

by C. B. Lee

Welcome to Andover, where superpowers are common, but internships are complicated. Just ask high school nobody, Jessica Tran. Despite her heroic lineage, Jess is resigned to a life without superpowers and is merely looking to beef up her college applications when she stumbles upon the perfect (paid!) internship—only it turns out to be for the towns most heinous supervillain. On the upside, she gets to work with her longtime secret crush, Abby, whom Jess thinks may have a secret of her own. Then theres the budding attraction to her fellow intern, the mysterious “M” who never seems to be in the same place as Abby. But what starts as a fun way to spite her superhero parents takes a sudden and dangerous turn when she uncovers a plot larger than heroes and villains altogether.

I I really wanted to like this one, and maybe I quit too early.. But I just can't motivate myself to continue. The concept sounds amazing, I LOVE superheroes and stories about superhuman powers.. But it is just very slow and I can't get into it. Not much seems to be happening.. and some of the mysteries are well, for me not a mystery at all. Only the MC is a bit slow about it..

So no,I can't push myself to continue for now. Who knows, maybe someday ?
