We Could Be Heroes

4.5 round to 5
A book about flawed heroes, being friends, representation...and PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS. Seriously, we need more of these. I know so many other reviews have stated this, but by god so am I because we so desperately need more books without romance. I could go on a RANT about this - about how platonic relationships should be valued just like romantic ones, about how mainstream media (including literature) doesn't include these enough...but I'll stop myself. This book, despite the obvious parts I love, have heroes you can't quite categorize as heroic - real, deeply-layered individuals who were a treat to read.
