Summary
In this genre-bending 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。

nothing i love more than the girlboss and the supportive malewife dynamic。 you will always have my heart， alice sun and henry li， but especially， ann liang， for solving the conflict in this book in a way that centers alice and her own wits with henrys support， as opposed to making her seem desperate and having to beg to stay or need to be rescued。 this feels both quieter and bigger than that， as simple as coming home and as dizzying and all-encompassing as the wind rushing in around us。 It feels nothing i love more than the girlboss and the supportive malewife dynamic。 you will always have my heart， alice sun and henry li， but especially， ann liang， for solving the conflict in this book in a way that centers alice and her own wits with henrys support， as opposed to making her seem desperate and having to beg to stay or need to be rescued。 this feels both quieter and bigger than that， as simple as coming home and as dizzying and all-encompassing as the wind rushing in around us。 It feels like a thousand banished and buried moments have been building up to this—to us alone and untethered and weak with wanting—and maybe they have。detailed review coming tomorrow when i am bored at work。 。。。more

This is a dark academia story that is hard to put down！ Forewarning there are several problematic moral issues that the main character herself is even upfront about。 You might not approve of the choices （or you may be given the circumstances） but you can undoubtedly recognize the struggles behind them。 None of us are "perfect" or "completely bad" and this title does an excellent job with showing that struggle。 It also deals with heavier issues like the right to education and social class differe This is a dark academia story that is hard to put down！ Forewarning there are several problematic moral issues that the main character herself is even upfront about。 You might not approve of the choices （or you may be given the circumstances） but you can undoubtedly recognize the struggles behind them。 None of us are "perfect" or "completely bad" and this title does an excellent job with showing that struggle。 It also deals with heavier issues like the right to education and social class differences。 As someone who came from a lower middle class family and received private education surrounded by other families who afforded it easier than us， I related a lot to the conflicts the main character has。 Also included are classic enemies to lovers who are also academic rivals， which is done in a fun way。 If dark academia is your thing， pick this one up！ 。。。more

Secrets， I’m realizing， are their own kind of currency。 what a fun read！！ I really flew through this book; the story was so engaging and paced just right。 while topics regarding inequality， class， and privilege were delved into， the author managed to weave those issues into an entertaining story with likable main characters that you just can’t help but root for， or at the very least， sympathize with。 alice and henry are great individually but even greater as a couple， and the academic rivals Secrets， I’m realizing， are their own kind of currency。 what a fun read！！ I really flew through this book; the story was so engaging and paced just right。 while topics regarding inequality， class， and privilege were delved into， the author managed to weave those issues into an entertaining story with likable main characters that you just can’t help but root for， or at the very least， sympathize with。 alice and henry are great individually but even greater as a couple， and the academic rivals to lovers trope was simply everything 。。。more

I’ve never written a review on here， but after reading this book I knew I had to。 This book was incredible， I absolutely enjoyed every minute of it from the first page to the last。 Like the main character Alice， I also feel an overwhelming need to have academic success。 In the book， Alice says “If I’m not swimming as hard as I can， feet thrashing at the waves， I’m drowning” I have said something very similar these last few years。 I will often admit how school is making me feel as though I’m drow I’ve never written a review on here， but after reading this book I knew I had to。 This book was incredible， I absolutely enjoyed every minute of it from the first page to the last。 Like the main character Alice， I also feel an overwhelming need to have academic success。 In the book， Alice says “If I’m not swimming as hard as I can， feet thrashing at the waves， I’m drowning” I have said something very similar these last few years。 I will often admit how school is making me feel as though I’m drowning。 This sentence from the book so perfectly encapsulated the feeling of being so overwhelmed with schooling， but being unable to do anything about it except fight to stay afloat。 Reading a book where the main character is feeling the same things I feel and doing the same things I do （in her studies， not in everything else in the story haha！）， made me feel so seen。 It’s honestly even more than this， the fact that the author understands this enough to accurately be able to display Alice’s emotions just made me feel so validated。 This story portrayed Alice’s emotions very well and her contradicting feelings between wanting and needing that academic success to also wanting and needing to feel peace。 It’s a constant mental fight between that overwhelming fear of failure and the desire to just be happy。 I loved the way her inner battle was portrayed and this story was very well done。 I absolutely loved this book， and the story and characters touched my heart。 It has definitely become one of my favorites。 。。。more

🎧 3。5 ⭐️ Rounded up as it is a debut。 I liked this book more than I thought I would as it is YA。 I know， why did I pick it up？ IDK 🤷🏻♀️ It was a fun read， and it had some biting social commentary。 The academic rival/enemies to teenage romance was actually sweet and not as cringy as usual for me。 Close， but I think the main characters had enough going on outside each other that the angst was spread around and not hyperfocused。 I enjoyed the writing， the humor， and the narration of the audiobook。 🎧 3。5 ⭐️ Rounded up as it is a debut。 I liked this book more than I thought I would as it is YA。 I know， why did I pick it up？ IDK 🤷🏻♀️ It was a fun read， and it had some biting social commentary。 The academic rival/enemies to teenage romance was actually sweet and not as cringy as usual for me。 Close， but I think the main characters had enough going on outside each other that the angst was spread around and not hyperfocused。 I enjoyed the writing， the humor， and the narration of the audiobook。 It kind of had avFinlay Donovan if she were a teen vibe。 The invisibility power was interesting， but I kept feeling the aunt knows something more， but that never evolved and I thought it should have。 The invisibility seemed to be an on the nose metaphor for this character’s experience at an elite school and her time abroad in California。 Some of the tasks were a little over the top and the ending was clever and satisfying in a Macbethian way， if you read it you’ll know 😉 Anyhoo。 A fun enough read， and a nice break from horror and haunted houses。 。。。more

There are two kinds of people in this world: 1。 people that believe private schools are the best2。 and people who don't （it probably depends on the country though）Let's face it， Alice feared that without Airington， she would have nothing。 She had no hobbies， no friends， she never saw her parents， and felt terrible about the enormous cost of her education。 I feel like the only reason she wanted to stay at that particular school is because it would have secured a spot in an Ivy league school。 Yet There are two kinds of people in this world: 1。 people that believe private schools are the best2。 and people who don't （it probably depends on the country though）Let's face it， Alice feared that without Airington， she would have nothing。 She had no hobbies， no friends， she never saw her parents， and felt terrible about the enormous cost of her education。 I feel like the only reason she wanted to stay at that particular school is because it would have secured a spot in an Ivy league school。 Yet she had no idea what she wanted to do with her life after graduation。 Yeah she was young， so？ Ivy league isn't everything？ Is it unfair that everyone can't get the same education？ Yes。 I just think she could have done things differently， since she was soo smart。 Same thing for Henry。 You are so smart， why can't you use your braininess。Sometimes I forget modern pop culture references exist。 Although I have nothing specifically against them， I don't want to see the same ones all the time。 It makes me cringe too much。I think I missed the big picture of the book。 Kidnapping is bad？ Money can solve everything？ Studying is everything？ + I still don't really get the invisibility thing？ I did like the aunt。 Everyone likes an unconventional relative。I guess I could go on and on about this one， but just maybe this book wasn't for me or I am reading too much into it。 。。。more

A neat little book， I’m glad I saw it。1 thing I liked:Pacing。 This book was at a very quick pace， and there were certainly moments where I was on the edge of my seat。1 thing I didn’t like:Plot。 Not entirely， obviously， but I just didn’t expect this book to go where it did， however I did end up enjoying it eventually。
