Invisible Me by H.M. Irwing is a fantasy romance about Freddie Lynch, a girl who literally turns invisible. Freddie has been fat for most of her life. She has been infatuated with her best friend’s hot cousin, Edwin Carr. She wanted to lose weight for him to notice her. She wanted to shed that weight quickly so she decided to make a concoction drink for weight loss. She literally disappeared when she had mistakenly added her dad’s work solution to her diet shake recipe. Her dad, a chemist, had gotten back from work only in time to watch her vanish completely. Edwin is a multi-millionaire, owner of the Carr Auton Industries. His fiancée’s untimely death threw his life into a downward state of depression. He is still grieving the loss of his fiancée when he encountered Freddie. Meeting her unexpectedly, Edwin is shocked by what he sees… or doesn’t see. The book follows Freddie and Edwin’s comradeship, their goal to overcome the shortcomings of her invisibility, and their feelings.
I enjoyed this story of love, courage and acceptance. I was enthralled when I read the synopsis. It was something I have never read before which made me pick the book.
I love the characters in this story, particularly Freddie. I think Irwing did an amazing job of making the characters real and relatable, which is difficult when you write a story centered on someone invisible. After all, no one can relate to being literally invisible, or the problems that come with it. But Irwing was able to pull it off. Instead of focusing solely on the heroine’s invisibility, she was able to draw my attention to the character’s bold and remarkable personality. She also did an incredible job of bringing the reader’s focus on the characters’ relationship, weaving in just enough sexual angst, suspense and even double entendre to keep the reader hooked until the end.
The plot is easy to understand. I was immersed in Freddie and Edwin’s world. I liked following the progression of their relationship. It had all the makings of a great romantic fiction. While the novel is mainly a romance, there were enough interesting and suspenseful subplots to keep readers fixated.
There were several typos and misused of punctuation marks, but these did not interrupt my flow of reading.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. It is a one-of-a-kind titillating story that I was able to finish reading in one day. I would like to see a movie adaptation of this book someday. The book contains mature scenes. I would recommend this to adult readers who are looking for a romantic fantasy, with deep emotional character development.
