Interesting concept with some great reminders for what it can mean to be a woman today. Enjoyed it.

Some things to think about as a woman in the world we live in, where age + motherhood = slowly vanishing before our eyes. Light and breezy, but fun!

Firmly in the chick lit genre, I liked it because of the added magic realism (our heroine wakes up one day to find she is invisible—and it takes her family members days to even notice). And I liked it because I am invisible myself—at least when it comes to the outside world. (Thanks to my family, friends/coworkers who would certainly notice.)

This is the kind of book I like to read. There's a smart, quirky, mostly normal female main character that is going through something I can identify with. I thought this was a wonderful, easy, light read!

The premise of women of a certain age being invisible was appealing, and says volumes about society. As I read further in the book, the twist of using your invisibility to do good adds even more dimension and food-for-thought. I would love to read this with my bookclub!

Besides a couple of “oh brother” pastiche scenes of maternal horror, and consternation and some 2012 social media talk which has aged in the decade since this was a nice upbeat read. Interesting concept

I’m a woman in my 50’s so of course I loved this book. It’s not a great work of literature but a really fun page-turner illuminating lots of the issues that middle aged women face everyday in a light hearted but serious way. Thoroughly enjoyable and uplifting!

I'm coming to grips with it since it's not the style of book I usually read but the concept is unique and thought provoking. Like a MCU movie, don't think about details or logistics and it's an okay way to spend a few hours.
Most of it was just alright but there were some passages that really stood out and gave me pause, strong commentary on women's roles and appreciation (lack of) for the caregiving provided/expected/taken for granted. Nearly DNFd a few times but figured, I've com this far but I wasn't eagerly picking it up when I could.
Ended suddenly, and I could just picture the author thinking...okay, I'm done, and cracking out 900 words to wrap it up. Glad I read it but not likely to recommend.
