![]() 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. ![]()
