I feel like the blurb omits his age for a reason because he is 28... She is 17. Now I don't mind age gaps but as soon as I read that I was like no. Nope I can't read on because what does a 28 year old man have in common with a 17 year old. Nothing. He is an adult and she is a TEENager. Like I understand that is some peoples likes when reading a book but for me this age gap where one is a teen and another an adult is just wrong. If it was 25 and 35 I wouldn't have minded but a teen and adult. No.

I also just struggled with the writing style it was very long winded describing everything and I just did not like it.

Really heartwarming and engaging. I really loved this book and cannot wait to read more from this author.

I absolutely LOVED this book! Amy is vulnerable as a college freshman. She is profoundly sweet, full of integrity but she’s struggling—it’s like she is drowning, never aware that she’s immersed in water at all…and HE is the only one who sees it. And very much like the superhero he resembles, he rushes into her life and rescues her. Better than that actually, he teaches her how to rescue herself. I really enjoy the enemies to lovers tropes and so this is the epitome of excellence in this genre! I devoured his rudeness knowing that she would eventually melt him—and she does. I think it was the cab ride to the ER when the drunk bar patrons were so mean to her. But he liked her before that because this really affected him. And it made him hotter when he was affected by her tragic incident. Love a man affected and afflicted by a woman. And I like her to be worth it. Like Amy. Five stars!

I wasnt feeling this book. The story did not hold my attention and i could barely finish. Maybe the rest will be better?

This could've been a beautiful book but I just couldn't enjoy it. It started off well but the writing style is too different - i couldn't get my head around how descriptive it was it took away from me getting to know the characters. I didn't approve of the age gap romance i felt it a bit strange.

This book was so fascinating. I went into it expecting a simple romance and was definitely disheveled when I began to read. The relationship at the center of this book was hard to get a handle on. The characters most definitely had chemistry, however I couldn’t shake the feelings of unease that I occasionally had over their relationship. The hero repeatedly asserts himself over the heroine in his knowledge of the world and although this may be true it often infantilizes our heroine. The way this book ended was so interesting. This book is written as though I have peered into the lives of two people at the time they connect. It is as if I have randomly stumbled upon their story and the book continues on as such. The book ends not necessarily abruptly, but rather as though these characters will continue their lives just as before without you watching. I don’t know if any of this makes true sense, but I do know that I have never read a book like this before. For this reason it is very hard to rate. I am settling on 3 stars for now.

This book was a romance set in Austin,Texas in the nineties. After a traumatic night a girl sees a new side of a coworker. He is seemingly like Superman, but is she his rightful Lois Lane? Only time will tell as their relationship unfolds in this novel.

Then you so much for gifting me an ARC! I'll be honest, this book feels a bit... Off. What was supposed to come across as a vague plot leading up to more instead felt incomplete. I HD to go back and make sure I didn't somehow skip to the middle of the book or something. I'm not sure if that was an editing flaw or just how to book was written, but either way, 8 couldn't get into it for that reason!

Unfortunately I have to DNF this book at 25% in. I rarely don’t finish books but ‘Holding Superman’s Hand’ had characters that I could not get on board with. I understand that the main male character, Matt, is supposed to be grumpy and hard to like but even when the main female character, Amy, felt that he was being cute or funny, to me he was just being toxic, possessive and controlling. Some possessiveness in love interests can be cute but this character was over the top controlling and I can’t see any redeeming qualities.

The writing is slightly disjointed in my opinion and I feel that I’m reading a first or second draft rather than a completed book. I feel that there are small changes that could improve the first 25% majorly.

This may be the type of book for you, but for me it was a miss and was not worth spending my time reading on further.

Unfortunately this is a DNF for me. I made it to the 20% mark before I decided I didn’t wanna continue on with this story. For starters, I couldn’t get over the fact that the female main character is a minor embarking on a romantic relationship with a 28 year old. This was in the forefront of my mind the whole time and made some of the scenes very cringy for me. I also had some problems with the writing style, it didn’t feel like it flowed. The back and forth between past and present in the beginning made it hard for me to grasp what was happening. Also, the descriptions and dialog felt a little off for me, at some points it moved fast and the next was very detailed.

Overall I think this is not for me, but I’m sure there’s people out there who will love this.
