All My Friends Are Superheroes

About the Book

All Tom’s friends really are superheroes. Tom even married a superhero, the Perfectionist. But at their wedding the Perfectionist is hypnotized by her ex, Hypno, to believe that Tom is invisible. Nothing he does can make her see him.

Six months later the Perfectionist is sure that Tom has abandoned her, so she’s moving to Vancouver. She’ll use her superpower to leave all the heartbreak behind. With no idea that Tom’s beside her, she boards the plane. Tom has until they touch down to convince her he’s there, or he loses her forever…

A wonderful and heartbreakingly funny tribute to love.

Reviews

'Somebody should write Mr Kaufman and thank him for his tender heart. I expect this story will replace boxes of chocolates and flowers in courting rituals to come.'
Sheila Heti

'An adorable book.'

'Buy it, burrow it, steal it but just make sure you read it ... Genius ... I read it on the train home the day I received it and spent the whole evening smiling.'

'One of the saddest, funniest, strangest, and most romantic books ... Brilliant!'

'May technically be called a love story, but if it is, it is one that is blissfully cliche free. More please.'
