Recap: Opposite of Invisible

Jan 29, 2008

January's buzzworthy book was The Opposite of Invisible by Liz Gallagher! We got to explore together the journey of Alice as she learns what it is like to go from being 'invisible' to anything but.

In case you missed out on exploring The Opposite of Invisible with us, have no fear! You can still get in on the action by reading the first few chapters here on the site, or snagging a copy in the store. Then head over to the buzz boards to get in on the discussion – and don’t forget to participate in activities related to the book to earn Buzz Bucks!

Quick glance at The Opposite of Invisible:

Alice and Jewel have been best friends since grade school. Together, they don’t need anyone else, and together they blend into the background of high school. Invisible. To Alice, Jewel is the opposite of invisible. Jewel is her best friend who goes to Indie concerts and art shows with her. Jewel scoffs at school dances with her. Alice is so comfortable around Jewel that she can talk to him about almost anything. But she can’t tell him that she likes the cool, popular Simon. And then Simon asks her to the school dance the same day that Jewel kisses her for the first time. Still, she can’t say no to Simon. He seems like the easy choice, the one she’s attracted to, the one she’s ready for. But will it mean losing Jewel? In a bright debut novel set against the lively backdrop of Seattle, Alice must learn the difference between love and a crush, and what it means to be yourself when you’re not sure who that is yet.

I'm so glad I got to share The Opposite of Invisible with you!!

    I wish I had found my way into this community when the discussion for this awesome book had just began. I really wish that I could have had a chance to order it with buzz bucks but now I've missed out!

    I can honestly say that I fell in love with this book. I admire Alice for her individuality, her charisma and her quirkiness. This book is a must read for teenagerswho think they're alone and have no one to talk to. Igive this book a 9 1/2out of 10. Every girl should have a dove girl to talk to.
