Hello! So today, I will be reviewing a book that probably isn't as well known as my previous books, but I figured -- why not give it a shot? So I did! I originally found this book on Wattpad, and it has been published, so the copy was removed when I read it, but I think the book is up again, so if it sparks some interest in you, go check it out :)
Rating: 4/5 Stars
Blurb/Synopsis from Goodreads
Here is the blurb/synopsis:
Olivia’s best friend is not imaginary. He’s not a ghost, either. And she’s pretty sure he’s not a hallucination. He’s just Mason.
He is, however, invisible.
When Olivia spotted the crying little boy on her front porch at five years old, she had no idea she was the only one who could see him. Twelve years later when new-girl Robin bumps into the both of them and introduces herself to Mason, they are both stunned.
Mason couldn’t be more pleased that someone else can see him. Olivia, on the other hand, isn’t jumping at the chance to welcome Robin into their circle. Jealousy may have something to do with
that, but honest fear that Robin’s presence will put Mason in danger is soon validated when a strange black car shows up outside Olivia’s house.
The race to find out what Robin knows in time to protect Mason from whatever threats are coming becomes Olivia’s only focus.
Okay, so now that you have read the synopsis/blurb, let's move onto the review!
So this book is about a girl named Olivia and her invisible best friend, Mason (thus the name of the book-- Invisible). They met when five year old Olivia saw Mason crying on her front porch, confused as to what is he doing alone out and so sad, and wanted to help him. She only realized that she was the only one that can see Mason when she finds that her whole family thinks of him as her imaginary friend -- and no one believes her! Well, that is until they start seeing thinks being picked up but no one was there, the shower being on and off when no one is in it, except Mason, of course! For twelve years, they were successful in hiding him away from everyone else, giving him shelter and a family. Until one day, a new girl at their school called Robin bumped into both of them in school, and not only apologized but introduced herself to Olivia and Mason, leaving them shell-shocked. Let's just say that when she realizes that she isn't the only one who can see Mason, and she have been having Mason all to herself for twelve years, she is not prepared to share him. Mason, au contraire, is more than delighted to find someone else who can see him besides Olivia. Olivia is determined more than before to keep Robin away from Mason when she finds a very suspicious black car conveniently stationed outside her house. With the warning bells ringing, they soon finds themselves tossed into a situation that just turns their whole world upside down...
Right, now for the personal opinion...
What I liked about this book:
I like the whole invisible person thing because, lets face it -- it's pretty cool, unless you are the person who is invisible and no one can see you, but that is besides the point. I also liked how there was alternative point of views because I personally prefer books that are seen from more than one point of view because it gives you a better aspect of the story and you can see it in a different light and opinion as opposed to only sticking ot one character. I also think that this book has such a sweet story that is shared between Olivia and Mason.
What I felt needed some improvement:
Well the heading for this is not quite accurate, but I feel that the whole best friends then into love thing is a little cliche and their whole romance is pretty cheesy and mainstream -- still, it is a good story :)
That is it for now! Until the next post, my pulchritudinous readers ;) Ciao.
Cheers,
K
B/N: Phew! Now, excuse me if the formatting is a little off or if this is shorter than usual but I will try to add onto it if I find anything! PS. I wrote this up in school, so yeah :)
