About this listen

What happens when a closeted jock, a scrawny nerd, and a pair of bratty cheerleaders develop superpowers in a small-town high school? Can they stop a pair of super-powered classmates hell-bent on reshaping the student body in a darker image? Or will teen angst, jealousy, and ill-timed romance doom them all? Find out in Queeroes!

My feelings about this kind of bounced around as I read. There are a lot of main characters and we switch points of view constantly and without warning. This made it difficult to follow along with the story, especially at the beginning since I didn't know who was who yet. I also thought the characters were a bit ridiculous and felt like cartoon characters instead of real people. Once I accepted that this is more of a parody, I enjoyed myself a lot more.

There are four 'Queeroes' in the story: Troy the closeted jock, Gibbie his nerdy, gay younger brother, Chad a somewhat shallow cheerleader, and Mandy his best friend. I didn't like Mandy, she was selfish and mean and did some stupid things. I could've done without her character for sure. Gibbie is pretty adorable and his crush on Chad is cute.

There are also two villains; Devon is a loner who role plays as a vampire and Liza is constantly bullied by kids at school. Easy to see how they turn to using power for evil. I didn't think they were as developed as the others and I think having more backstory for them would have been nice.

Go into this with a lighthearted attitude and you'll enjoy it more. It's a quick read with plenty of funny moments to keep you entertained.

Funny, quick listen
