All the Invisible Things
by Orlagh Collins
What a great read! This is definitely a book that needed to be written and something that will be so important to so many young and confused teens out there that need to be seen or heard. All the Invisible Things touches upon so many important topics and it made me feel so, so much in just a few hundred pages.
I will say that I think I went into this book with expectations that weren't exactly met. I thought this book would be this deep but yet romantic love story about a girl named Vetty who was figuring out her sexuality and falling in love with her best friend's girlfriend and there would be this super angsty (and yet sweet) romance between them. And that's really not the case here.
Yes: this book is about a girl named Vetty and she is figuring out her sexuality and she does have a crush on her best friend's kinda girlfriend. but
No: this is not a romance. And really, there's no romance at all nor is there a f/f sweet and yet angsty romance.
This book is more about Vetty's journey to coming back home four years after her mother passed away. It's about her trying to come to terms with who she is, with how things have changed since her mom died and how people (Pez) have changed since she last saw him. It's about depression, and addiction and sex and love and family and feeling like there's never quite enough of you to give and yet so much of you that you want to share so that you can be there for the people you care about.
It's a beautiful book and one that I think many will love. I would definitely recommend this book to any and all readers but this is especially a book I think is important for high schoolers to read.
