I was first attracted to this book when I read its title. Blaze (or Love in the Time of Supervillains) is an epic title. And once I read the summary, I just had to read it. Blaze is a super short book. I read it mostly while at the gym, yet it was able to keep me hooked the whole time.
Blaze was awesome. She was intelligent, nerdy, and someone who I could totally see myself being friends with. I loved her love of comic books and her snarky humor. I also loved that she had a soccer mom can- it adds so much personality to the story! The relationship between Blaze and brother is one of the best parts of this book. The bickering between them was incredibly real- and I loved every minute of it.
The situation that Blaze is put through is terrible, but I think she handled it well. Though I admit that what Blaze did to Mark wasn’t completely fair, what Mark did to Blaze wasn’t fair either. The whole debacle was crazy, but I think it was really well written. There aren’t a whole lot of books about this topic, and I think it’s an important one to explore.
This was Laurie Boyle Crompton’s first novel, and I can’t wait to read her next ones. Though Blaze was shorter than I wanted it to be (I would have loved to spend more time with the characters), I really enjoyed reading about Blaze and her story.

I am so excited to read this book. I love the cover so much. I wish I had the guts to dye my hair like that :(
It sounds like a book you enjoyed too. I have it waiting (im)patiently on my Kindle. I wish authors would stop writing good books long enough for me to catch up. lolz..
