Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Brotherhood

The super hero book you need to read right now!

"An enjoyable, exciting, and action-packed read… at its core, just fun.” –Associated Press

An extraordinary and emotional adventure about unlikely friends and the power of choosing who you want to be.

Jamie woke up in an empty apartment with no memory and only a few clues to his identity, but with the ability to read and erase other people’s memories—a power he uses to hold up banks to buy coffee, cat food and books.

Zoe is also searching for her past, and using her abilities of speed and strength…to deliver fast food. And she’ll occasionally put on a cool suit and beat up bad guys, if she feels like it.

When the archrivals meet in a memory-loss support group, they realize the only way to reveal their hidden pasts might be through each other. As they uncover an ongoing threat, suddenly much more is at stake than their fragile friendship. With countless people at risk, Zoe and Jamie will have to recognize that sometimes being a hero starts with trusting someone else—and yourself.

We Could Be Heroes by Mike Chen A comic book in a novel format. Fantasy. A man with the ability to erase memories. A woman that can fly (kind of) and has super strength and catches criminals. Neither one of them know who they really are. They meet in an anonymous support meeting and become friends.......more

Goodreads review by La Crosse County Library on May 11, 2021

We Could Be Heroes (2021) is not your typical superhero story, which I think is why I enjoyed it so much! The good versus evil binary often found in these stories is mostly absent here, with our two "heroes" (Zoe and Jamie) trying to recover mysterious holes in their memories first and foremost. Sav......more

Goodreads review by Alana on February 08, 2021

*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 - ab......more
