I read Invisible in just about one sitting. I couldn’t put it down; I was so drawn into the characters and the story. Seventeen year-old Lola often finds herself wishing she could just disappear. She’s big and tall, she loves to write, and she doesn’t fit in with her parents and sister. When Lola actually does disappear one day, after a particularly cruel attack from a bully, she’s worried that she’s even more of a freak than she thought. She confides in her grandmother, who has experienced the same thing and has even given it a name.When Lola disappears again, after another bullying incident, she tells her best friend, Charlene, AKA Charlie. Charlie convinces her to learn to control her power, and together, they plot revenge. But life turns in unexpected ways. Jon, the boy Lola has a crush on, asks her out. But he’s a friend of the worst of the bullies and Lola has to decide if this is a set up, or if his affections are real. Then, tragedy strikes and Lola’s life is turned upside-down.
This is an endearing story of being yourself and loving yourself. Of not changing for someone else. And it’s a story of choices. What does Lola do with her power? Use it for revenge? I highly recommend this book to both adults and teens. I hope Jeanne Bannon writes another book in this genre: her writing is clear; the plot is engaging, and the characters just carry you along.

Invisible eBook Jeanne Bannon Reviews
Lola Savullo is heavy, hates wearing a swimsuit. There's a dysfunctional family, caught up in their own narcissistic existences, except for Grandma Rose, who seems to understand Lola and her unusual way of dealing with the incessant bullying by most other teens in her school.
Lola's BFF calls the ability a superpower. Lola thinks differently, it's an escape, a way of avoiding the hurtful words and painful punches and slaps - both physical and verbal. What can she do? Lola disappears when she's overwhelmed by those around her. Grandma Rose calls it "The Vanishing." Lola is different, a negative, but she can also disappear, what every teenage girl wishes she could do.
Jeanne Bannon drops the reader into Lola's predicament right from the beginning, a humiliating moment at a public pool, and we immediately feel for this young woman. This is a story for all teens, a story about learning to cope with what gets you down, and rise above it. There are moments of humiliation most will know for a fact, and moments of utter joy. I highly recommend this book not only for teens, but also for their parents as a way to learn how to discover a way to stand up against bullying.
I 'met' Jeanne Bannon on Book Blogs, oddly enough, on the day that she was announcing a 1-day giveaway of her book. Reading the synopsis, I just had to grab a copy.
Seriously? How often do you get to read about a girl who can disappear? Something I would have loved to be able to do at her age.
Written in first-person, from Lola's perspective, Ms. Bannon seems to understand what it feels like to not fit in - with one's peers and even one's own family. She paints a picture of unhappiness and personal angst that is recognizable to those of us who have walked in Lola's shoes at some point in our lives.
It is almost painful to read and revisit. As, I suppose, it should be.
Being several years removed from high school, the story feels like I remember that time of my life. But, some of the dialog seems a little more mature than 17- or 18-year-olds. The 'voices' sound a bit similar from person to person; the speech styles or patterns aren't distinctive.
That, I suppose, could be realistic. Don't we have a tendency to imitate or adopt something of those around us?
All in all, I truly enjoyed this story. The main characters are fairly well-drawn 'real' people. Lola's battles with her sister, her feelings about her parents, her desperate wish to be a writer - it all felt a bit like getting inside the head of an old friend. Or meeting a lovely new one.
And 'the Plan'? You're gonna love it!

Disclosure of Material Connection I received a complimentary electronic copy of this book from the author. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
"Invisible" by Jeanne Bannon is a YA novel that people of all ages can read and easily relate to. It tackles the problem of bullying and learning to love yourself, told from the prospective of a 17-year-old highschool student.
Lola just wants to get through the last couple months of highschool with her BFF Charlie, and to stay off the radar of bullies who taunt her about her weight, and about her best friend being a lesbian. Something strange begins to happen after these episodes when Lola discovers she can become invisible as sort of a defense mechanism, whether she wants to or not. The last thing she wants is to wink out of existence at any moment, especially around a certain boy who has finally noticed her.
The relationship between Lola and her Grandma Rose was genuinely touching, the part I most related to. Grandma Rose is her best friend, the one person in Lola's family she can always count on for support, unconditional love, and a laugh. I lost one of my grandmothers when I was Lola's age, and my other grandmother is still alive at 87; I've always treasured my close bond with each of them. When the unexpected health issues came up with Lola's grandmother, I had tears in my eyes, feeling Lola's pain and worry.
This is a great book! It explores many issues common to teenagers, and the reader gets to join Lola and her friends through their high points and heartache.
