About this eBook

From Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin’, comes the exciting conclusion in the origin story of fan-favorite comic character Faith—a fierce, plus-size superhero.

Faith Herbert can finally admit that she’s not a regular teen—and take advantage of her new flying superpowers. After the chaos of her first semester, Faith just wants to end her senior year in a normal way—enjoying all the hallmarks of graduating high school, like prom, with her best friends Matt and Ches.

But a cryptic warning about psiots going missing and a rash of inexplicable fires means things are off to a strange start. Life goes from weird to worse when Colleen Bristow, the quiet nerd-turned-supervillain, reappears, acting like nothing ever happened.

As if that weren’t enough, rumored sightings of Faith’s ex, the beautiful Dakota Ash, who was thought to have died months ago in the warehouse fire that exposed more than a few secrets, start to emerge. Faith can’t seem to shake Dakota’s betrayal from that tragic day, but she also can’t help hoping the rumors are true. . . .

As Faith tries to balance her quest for a memorable senior year and the heartbreak of Grandma Lou’s increasing decline, she learns to have faith in herself—and that sometimes fate will point you in the right direction.

Ratings and reviews

This is the first title I've read by Julie Murphy but I have seen the movie adaptation of her book, Dumplin’. This book is the second and final book in the Faith Herbert series. I've read that there is a standalone movie set to be released about the Faith Herbert character. I had not read the first book of the series before reading this one but I don't think you need to read the first in order to read this book. Faith is finally starting to accept her life as a plus-size, body-positive super-heroine but she is still determined to have those iconic high school moments like prom and graduation with her besties, Matt & Ches.
