Invisible Me is a science fiction and romantic novel with amazing settings and plots. The book is packed with pulse-stopping and sizzling romantic and sexual scenes.
Freddie Lynch, the central character, had constantly been taunted by her pairs that she was fat, eventually the label, Fatty. The taunting of her pairs and her infatuation with the unsuspecting Edwin (Freddie's best friend's much older cousin) made her seek a solution to her burgeoning size. Her solution, a concoction which she unknowingly mixed with her Professor Dad's laboratory experiment, made her invisible. Freddie could not hid from the world all her life especially on her 18th birthday when she yearned to have a glimpse of her best friend, Kyle. As she got to her friend's house, alas! Who did she bump into if not the object of her day-dreaming, Edwin. What surprised her was that Edwin felt her presence even though she could not be seen. Edwin, who was at that time, recovering from the tragic death of his fiancée, had no option than to pursue her thinking she was his fiancee's ghost. Even when Freddie had explained to him that she was flesh and blood, Edwin became besotted to her. It became a battle of how to make Freddie visible again. But will Edwin put all their differences aside and be with Freddie against all odds? How will their union be if Freddie continues to be invisible?
The book is a very interesting work of art which deviated from what is usually read in romantic books. The introduction of science made the book more interesting. The motifs were efficiently presented that the reader understands at the first read. The theme of family loyalty was illustrated by the character of Freddie. Freddie had no qualms sneaking in and out of school and mingling with the world undetected but she obeyed her father's instructions and stayed indoors for one whole year. That was a difficult thing to do by a teen. Again, Freddie refused to seek outside help because she felt she was her father's project. Seeking help outside would hurt her father. Science and crime co-existed in the book. Freddie's invisibility was used both for good and for bad. Sophia Carr, Edwin's mother, used Freddie to go into a supposed enemy's house (Jason's house) to steal. The government also used Freddie's nature for an objective assignment. There is also the theme of marriage and that age does not count when it comes to choosing a marriage partner. The case of Sophia and Jason is a good example.
The only character I admired was Freddie. She was bold, funny and resilient. Nothing deterred her from doing whatever she set her mind to do. Neither her invisibility nor the horrific looks people gave her was a deterrent. The writer made a lot of grammatical errors which should have been avoided. It was very annoying especially when these errors kept reoccurring.
This is a classical book that should get all stars. The errors stayed my hands and I still reiterate that the writer needs to do a lot of editing. I therefore, rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. The book will surely appeal to people of different pages who love well organized books with wonderful themes different from what is usually attainable.
