In general, I’m bored by the lack of complexity in the character’s lives simply because YA books were not written with me in mind as the audience. Not my jam, and I’m starting to rethink if I should keep reading YA in my quest to find books starring fat women and girls who don’t diet or date their way to happiness. Most young adult novels cover either crushes or saving the world, and Invisible is a crushes book. She has a crush on one of them, Jon, who, inexplicably, decides he likes her, too, about a third of the way into the story.
Lola has one good friend and a quartet of dedicated bullies at school.
In a sense, Invisible is a paranormal novel because it has this extra “magic” element, but no one who wants to read paranormal fiction or fantasy would reach for Bannon’s book, because it’s not really about that.
