About this ebook
"Academic rivals portrayed to perfection… An all-time top favorite." —Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights and Our Violent Ends
"Utterly unique, thought-provoking, and wonderfully written." —Gloria Chao, author of American Panda and Rent a Boyfriend
In this genre-bending , speculative YA debut, a Chinese American girl monetizes her strange new invisibility powers by discovering and selling her wealthy classmates’ most scandalous secrets.
Alice Sun has always felt invisible at her elite Beijing international boarding school, where she’s the only scholarship student among China’s most rich and influential teens. But then she starts uncontrollably turning invisible—actually invisible.
When her parents drop the news that they can no longer afford her tuition, even with the scholarship, Alice hatches a plan to monetize her strange new power—she’ll discover the scandalous secrets her classmates want to know, for a price.
But as the tasks escalate from petty scandals to actual crimes, Alice must decide if it’s worth losing her conscience—or even her life.

I enjoyed reading this book. I am really impressed with Alice Sun. No matter what problem comes up, she is able to focus on it and figure out a solution very quickly.

The encounter of this book is an exquisite experience for me. It is very comforting for me that through reading this book I can relate to numerous points the author made especially the highschool life and transitioning into young-adult life. Being matured by circumstances is not an easy path to go through but the fact that are also people out there that shares the same complexity with me makes me feel that at least I'm not the only one going through it.

First of all, I enjoyed the strong writing style that brought out this incredible setting as well as made the characters all seem like real-life people to me.

The family relationships/dynamics, friendships, and rivals/enemies to more all endeared this book to my heart immediately. Secondly, I enjoyed being

Ann is the author of If You Could See the Sun, This Time It's Real, and I Hope This Doesn’t Find You.
