![]() His mom left when he was a young child and he has no contact with her. Thom (Thom? Really? Is anyone named Thom? Commentators, please advise!) is a high school basketball player who volunteers with underprivileged kids in his spare time. I can’t fault the craft or content of Hero, but I found it strangely easy to put down. ![]() Personally, though, I want my romance to have some joy, and I want even my darkest superheroes to get at least a few moments to revel in their powers (or, in Batman’s case, their “wonderful toys”). Not every love story or superhero story has to be fun. That’s not surprising, because it deals with some very painful topics. It was solidly written, painful, and touching, and although I haven’t the foggiest idea of what it’s like to be a gay teen it had the feel of honesty to it. Y’all know I can’t resist a geek/romance crossover, so I had to check out Hero, a YA novel about a gay teen superhero that involves a love story. ![]()
