Review: 
I'm generally not a reader of comics, but I do enjoy the Marvel and DC properties on the big and small screen. So, I was interested in this one even though Bruce Banner/the Hulk is a character I'm fairly ambivalent about. This book is about his cousin, Jennifer Walters.
Jen is good at her job, but also has self-esteem and some anger issues in regards to her alter ego She-Hulk. At the beginning she was a bit hard to like for me; she was (IMO) shallow, immature. Her best friend Dahlia was also. By the end, she was a little better.
I didn't like the big focus on getting a boyfriend. There is a bit of a love triangle with Sven and Ellis. I didn't like that Ellis was engaged to Amber. Amber, was also a BITCH (because of course she has to be, right?).
Didn't care for the fashion show fat shaming. Interesting story-line regarding ReplaceMax with cloned organs. Just not enough for me and ended up a little disappointed.
This fits in very well with the "New Adult" genre. But based on a comic superhero/sci-fi/supernatural elements. Thus far, I've noted there are very few NA books I've actually liked. As a result, I generally avoid them.
Booklikes Bingo: 13 square (this book was published in 2013 and it was 13 in the ISBN #!)
