pooxs 's review for:
Invisible Boys
by Holden Sheppard
Representation matters and the themes in this book are important to read and write about. It is necessary to give voice to those invisible people who face prejudice and discrimination if they’re seen, and for such (any) people to feel heard in their experiences.
As to the writing - the first half was filled with cliches, stereotypes and teen angst, so not my cup of tea. The four different narrators didn’t have a different style of narration so it was difficult to work out who was speaking (other than the name at the start of the chapter or identifying facts about each character). The second half was much better, focussing in their relationships, and I really felt for the characters.
