We Could Be Heroes
We Could Be Heroes | Philip Ellis
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear high heels and a wig. Patrick's acting career is on the rise, and the superhero movie he's filming might put him on the map . . . if the endless reshoots ever stop. Meanwhile, Will, a secondhand bookseller and part-time drag queen, is just trying to live his best life. After a chance encounter on a particularly chaotic night, a curious friendship sparks between the two men. At least, that’s what they tell each other. Sure, Patrick finds Will captivatingly hilarious, and Will can’t help but keep thinking about who is really behind the perfect mask Patrick shows the rest of the world, but nothing could ever really happen, right? Superheroes don’t date drag queens, after all. When reality crashes into the fantasy world they’ve built together, Will has to make a choice between the man of his dreams and being true to himself. Can Patrick be the hero Will’s been waiting for, or will Will be the one to save Patrick after all? Uproarious and touching, We Could Be Heroes is an ode to queer joy and a romance that just might save the world.

This was such an interesting read and the drag names are brilliant and hilarious. Especially Will's. The plot is sweet, fun but does focus on the way the world still sees drag queens and the lgbtq+ community. The ending was perfect and I loved how it all came together. We also learn the story of the creators of KIssmet adding a little more depth and tying everything together. I really liked Patrick and Will, Plus April was great too. A fun read.
