What’s the difference between love, a crush,
and best-friendship? Alice is about to find out.
The Opposite of Invisible
LIZ GALLAGHER
ALICE AND JEWEL have been best friends since grade school. Together,
they don’t need anyone else, and together they blend into the background
of high school. Invisible. To Alice, Jewel is the opposite of invisible. Jewel is
her best friend who goes to Indie concerts and art shows with her. Jewel
scoffs at school dances with her. Alice is so comfortable around Jewel that
she can talk to him about almost anything.
But she can’t tell him that she likes the cool, popular Simon. And then Simon
asks her to the school dance the same day that Jewel kisses her for the first
time. Still, she can’t say no to Simon. He seems like the easy choice, the one
she’s attracted to, the one she’s ready for. But will it mean losing Jewel?
In a bright debut novel set against the lively backdrop of Seattle, Alice must
learn the difference between love and a crush, and what it means to be
yourself when you’re not sure who that is yet.
Liz Gallagher is a former children’s bookseller and early education teacher.
She received her MFA in writing for children from Vermont College. This is her
first novel. She lives in Seattle, Washington.
