Über diesen Titel
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.
©2024 Philip Ellis (P)2024 Penguin AudioKritikerstimmen
"Ellis creates a winning world full of snappy banter, drag queens fighting for justice, and found family. Both characters’ lives are fully drawn out and feature an array of quirky, entertaining side characters. A subplot involving the creators of Captain Kismet drives home the point that queer creators have always been present in the comics world, and (much like Patrick and Will) they managed to find joy even when facing oppression and heartbreak. A fun and hopeful romance, perfect for superhero fans and comics readers."—Kirkus Reviews
"With this funny and fast-paced contemporary, Ellis (Love & Other Scams) makes the familiar story of a closeted movie star feel fresh . . . Ellis brings both wit and empathy to bear throughout and crafts characters readers will root for. This is a delight."—Publishers Weekly
“For books set in the entertainment industry . . . you'll be hard-pressed to find a better romance novel than We Could Be Heroes."—Buzzfeed
