Then he meets Elizabeth, who can - inexplicably - see him. This is YA lit, so they're teenagers and there's romance in the offing. And it's all just so terribly charming. I adored it. The ending was a bit more abrupt than I'd hoped, but it was generally satisfying. What drew me into Invisibility (besides the awesome authors) was the premise of the whole thing. A romance YA where one of the characters is invisible? So interesting! I wasn’t disappointed with this book. The characters are a joy, and I love how many issues the authors were able to fit into this book without it being overwhelmingly depressing. We have parental abuse, bullying, and a gay teen who had to move to a completely new city to escape horrible people. It’s a stark reality, and deals with real issues, but doesn’t go overboard on the melodrama. Instead, I felt as though it were realistically portrayed, where they have moments of anxiety and fear and hurt, and then moments of happiness. Invisibility struck a nice balance with it all, and I appreciated that. The characters are also awesome. I love their interactions with each other and the relationships they develop. They each have their own quirks, and Elizabeth is awesome with her drawings and goals of being a comic book writer. My favorite, though, was Laurie, Elizabeth’s brother. He stole the show and quickly became the one character I was super invested in. I’m not sure how I feel about the ending. On the one hand, I’m happy that not every little thing is resolved, and we’re left with a mostly satisfactory conclusion, but I also feel as though the pacing were a tad bit off, and the ending would have been better if there was just a little more to it: a discovery of more people having access to magic, maybe. Something. As it is, I greatly enjoyed this book. If you’re at all interested in YA fantasy that is based in the real-world, definitely give this a try. It’s very much focused around a romance, so it’s a lot of relationship stuff and a bit of adventure, but it’s quite good. Also posted on Purple People Readers. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

I probably would like more development on the world, as well as the protagonist's relationship with his family. His grandfather felt simplistic and underdeveloped.
But overall, I enjoyed this book. It's a sweet, engaging little fantasy. ( )
