Publisher's Synopsis
"If I don't break your heart, the world is going to end."
When Grayson posts about his girlfriend breaking up with him with that line in an anonymous "Breakup Confessions" thread, Raya recognizes the references and knows that it's him. Raya has been dealing with a deeply personal loss, with only her comic books to give her quiet comfort. But thanks to her forum-lurking, she now knows that the guy she's been crushing on for years is single again. What's that called, when she might actually have a chance with him but senior high school just ended and they're heading off on separate paths forever and ever? It's called a long shot. Right. Only heroes take a risk with those odds and still win. But when Grayson walks into the hobby shop she works for and asks Raya for a comic book recommendation, Raya realizes that superheroes can come in all shapes and sizes. And as they bond over the summer on all things caped and geeky, Raya discovers that maybe-just maybe-she deserves a chance at a super-powered love story of her own. *Content warnings for readers: grief, off-page death of a parent, accidental death of young person told in flashback, cancer, illness of elderly person, characters kissing and considering having sex.
