Invisible hand
I enjoyed reading about her and I felt really bad. I liked Scott to. He stayed by Jane and spoke some sense in to her. When everything began to crumble for Jane, I was really hoping that she will use Scott's advice and begin sticking up for herself. And the last chapter-brilliant! It was perfect and The last chapters of the book was great also-just what Jane needed. Out of all of Marni Bates book this was my favorite.
My only problem with Marni Bates' book is the price. The price is really high. I understand that everyone needs a profit the publisher, the author, etc I plan on reading her next novel, Notable and many more from Marni Bates. Overall this was a great book that will keep your attention. Even while I was going to sleep I couldn't stop thinking about Jane! Honestly, there wasn't much of a story here. It felt like Bates wanted to write a story about Jane Smith, but didn't know what to write about.
So she created a conflict that wasn't really there. Suddenly Jane is tired of being the girl at home studying while her friends are out partying and having fun. The problem is that in Awkward Jane flat out says she has to study and can't go out! It just felt forced. I chose this rating bc i loved the book! I like it bc its about a girl my age pretty much feeling the same way as i do so i live vicariously through her story! I would recommend this book to ask teen girls who are feeling invisible!

We were introduced to her back in Awkward. She works for the school paper and is feeling neglected by her friends and wants to feel like she is wanted.

Soo, things get outta hand when one of her stories that she wrote for herself as she wants to be a journalist or columnist gets into the wrong hands and it gets published. It puts her relationship with Corey and Mack in jeopardy but she fixes it. She pours her insecurity or feelings of being left out when making amends and I really liked her during that whole scene.
Jane has a potential suitor in the face of Scott who is a photographer for the paper and is put in charge of her when Jane gets the Cover Page feat.
Scott makes Jane his portfolio subject and follows her around. There is that whole fake relationship thingy as well which was cute. I really enjoyed this installment and well, i am glad I had the next book to read right after. I liked Isobel and Scott and Jane were freaking cute. I felt the depth of what Jane was feeling. I know that feeling of being left out. I loved all that subtext business. And oh yeah, remember Alex, well, he made an appearance in this book as well.
It was nice to see that side of her. Oh, I would have liked to see the photos Scott took but i know that would have been a clique but..

Jul 22, April rated it really liked it. Marni Bates once again had me up flipping pages late into the night with her new laugh out loud worthy novel, Invisible Invisible tells the story of Jane Smith. Jane has never wanted to be anything other than invisible at her school. Jane's best friend Mackenzie recently became an overnight internet sensation and their other best friend Corey started dating a rock star.

Invisible was okay with her best friends by her side but now Jane feels left out and no Marni Bates once again had me up flipping pages late into the night with her new laugh out loud worthy novel, Invisible Invisible was okay with her best friends by her side but now Jane feels left out and no longer as connected with her best friends as she once was. Now she's thinking it might be better to get some attention after all and to stop being so invisible.
Which results in Jane being assigned a front-page article for her high school's paper, The Smithsonian. For that, Jane must write a groundbreaking story on which she is accompanied by Scott, the cute newspaper photographer that she just so happens to resent. I really liked Awkward, the first book in this series, and liked being able to get to continue the story here with Invisible while getting to know Jane better.
I really liked Jane in this story. Even though she starts off a little reserved, her inner voice can actually be quite spunky and funny at times. Scott on the other hand is cute and infuriating but totally loveable. He really helps bring Jane out of her shell and they have great romantic chemistry. I was really surprised by Chelsea's role in the book and can't wait to read more about her in the upcoming book "Notable". Invisible is fresh, young, and hilarious. It will have you wrapped up until you can't help but to know what happens next.
Okay, so I shouldn't have read this book first - but I did. It's second in the Smith High series and this darn thing is the reason for the crime I've committed. I never read books out of order - except for reading Crossed before Matched but the librarian lied to me, okay! Now, this book made me go on an emotional rollercoaster. Annoyance at Miles, lust for Scott, frustration for Jane because she was letting everyone move on around her and treat her like rubbish.
That's how you know the book Okay, so I shouldn't have read this book first - but I did. That's how you know the book its getting to you because you feel things! My friends picked up the cover, glancing at the yellow and the girl posing on it before shooting me a wary look and saying: I can barely handle Princess Diaries anymore; that's where I draw the line.
And I could handle this book! The reason being because it didn't have Jane wining on every page. I lol-ed so much. It's a "goodread" hehe ; I just melted right into the page and became engrossed. Sometimes you need a cheesy book in your life! Have a break from intense books with swearing on every page and death and darkness. It's not good to dwell on those kind of things always.
Aug 05, Sebrina Parker rated it really liked it. Invisible is one of those cheeky High School books that has no basis in reality but is still pretty fun to read. While I think the author did an excellent job trying to make her characters have layers of depth, I still had a hard time liking them. Jane herself is very self-centered, but her friends are just awful. Outside of their public displays of loyalty, I don't really get how any of them are friends. I especially resented how no one really had to change at the end, except for Jane to stop b Invisible is one of those cheeky High School books that has no basis in reality but is still pretty fun to read.
I especially resented how no one really had to change at the end, except for Jane to stop being a pushover. And while I wanted to like Scott, and I did for the most part, there were times where his behavior and comments he made we a little off putting. I get that he's suppose to be the hard hitting journalist type, but that doesn't give him the right to have no filter. That being said, the book had an excellent story pace that kept me reading to see what happens. And while nothing was unexpected, it was still enjoyable.
I thought it was the perfect tone for young to mid teens. I received a free review copy of this book from the publishers via NetGalley but the opinions expressed here are my own. Apr 05, M rated it really liked it. I really enjoyed this book, the only bad thing I could say was that it was pretty predictable, but it was fun. I enjoyed Jane and it was very telling in the fact that she needed to communicate with her friends and even stand up for herself.
Its a good morale, especially for people who tend to say yes too often. I enjoy this kind of character more than the stuck up characters.

Feb 25, Tatiana Coimbra rated it really liked it. May 10, Anna Curiosity comes before Kay Partrick rated it it was ok. Jane Smith has managed to fly under the radar for her entire time in high school and she liked it that way because she still had the support of her truly awesome best friends. Not to mention they take her for granted any time the opportunity arises. This does nothing fo Jane Smith has managed to fly under the radar for her entire time in high school and she liked it that way because she still had the support of her truly awesome best friends.
This does nothing for her already non-existent self-esteem. Than she punches school bully Scott in the lunchroom and gets forcibly teamed up with Scott, a boy she can't stand because of a perceived snub for a front page article in the school newspaper that she never even wanted. All Jane wanted was for someone to let her add a fiction page into the paper - quietly! Now she's breaking rules, making changes and forcing everyone to actually look at her for once. But not everything that happens as a result is good and Jane ends up hurting the people she cares for most unintentionally.
Can she fix things before she really does end up invisible and alone? To be quite honest, if you have read the first book with Kenzie you may be kind of wary of this one like I was. The main focus is Jane learning to stand up for herself and assert her own needs to the other people in her life. Also, learning that we can't choose who we have romantic feelings for and that you shouldn't be a douchebag because of it that last part is something she's REALLY slow at learning, but having Scott on the other end does nothing to help the point across!!!

Jane got on my nerves for a good majority of the book and that's putting it mildly and politely. She was one of the most milquetoast 'heroines' that I've read so far this year in the realm of YA. Yes, teens are not a species of perfection which is perfectly okay. But she has no self-respect, which kind of detracts from when she does something really awesome like punching Scott in the face or The whole book is spent with her whining about how no one sees her and her friends are ditching her. Also, there's something borderline call-the-suicide-prevention-hotline about coming up with ways to die when you're bored, etc.
It kind of creeped me out. I loved Isobel and honestly thought a book with a romance between her and the girl in the baking club would have been lots more interesting and majorly cute Mabye I'm inferring something there, but that's what I saw anyways. The romance with Scott wasn't swoonworthy at all. He spent most of the book acting like a complete manipulative, blackmailing douchebag to Jane who spent the whole book being an a-hole to him cause she wanted to pretend she didn't like him.
Scott crashes her first date, provides the pictures for the ruinous article and goes to a horrible family dinner at Jane's being her fake 'boyfriend. And this is supposed to make me root for them as a couple? Their whole dynamic is borderline abusive and after spending the whole book just wanting him to jump off a cliff and with the meanest interactions possible, they suddenly like like each other? A world of no! Just not a thing I could get behind. I did like Jane's crazy old lady, bookstore boss who wanted them to take a picture in the makeout section.
The real highlight character-wise for me though was the nice side of somewhat mean-girl Chelsea. At times she was a better person than Jane's supposed best friends. By the time the story broke, I had already started skimming through it because this book was boring me and making me cringe. Some may identify with this book and really like it. They may even find it somewhat funny and cute. I just really didn't and wouldn't really recommend it to anyone. Just re-read Awkward instead, it'll be a much more satisfying experience! No money or favors were exchanged for this review. This book's expected publication is August 1st, May 28, Dayla rated it really liked it Shelves: Review first appeared on my blog: Book Addict I received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review Invisible by Marni Bates is another installment in her young adult contemporary series Smith High.
I've been meaning to read Awkward and as I started Invisible , I realized that maybe I should have taken the time to read the first book in the series. I'm not saying that this is a continuation of Mackenzie's misadventures from Awkward, but that Invisible does host a large number of sp Review first appeared on my blog: I'm not saying that this is a continuation of Mackenzie's misadventures from Awkward, but that Invisible does host a large number of spoilers for a reader unfamiliar with the series.
But all of that aside, Invisible was a fun book to read, especially now that summer is here. It is light enough to devour in a couple of sittings, but not too light so as to be considered just average. There are themes of friendship, courage, and finding your voice when you think you don't have one. Jane, the protagonist, shows us that sometimes we need to make things happen for ourselves, rather than wait for the world to settle into some semblance of what we want.
Invisible is a high school contemporary novel that features the usual high school characters mean girls, hot guys, and the people trying to get to the top , which I will admit I'm a sucker for--so Bates's novel definitely won me over there.
I like that even though Invisible starts out as your usual high school cliche, it ends with the protagonist having the last say. The writing is fun, but at times immature. I noticed many instances where certain situations could have been avoided, but I also know that the actions taken by Jane are just a byproduct of her personality. What I did enjoy was the little play on Jane's name and the theme of invisibility that occurred in Bates's novel. And even when characters do notice her, they give her nicknames that offer the opposite of Jane's own name: What I found even more interesting is how for someone who is outwardly shy, Jane's narrative is very spunky.
That being said, the people around her don't make it any easier to accept Jane's lack of motivation to stop being invisible. It makes the reader ask, how much is too much? I will admit that the pacing was a little off for me. The events mentioned in the synopses don't occur until much later in the book, while most of the book focuses on Jane's inability to see herself as anything other than invisible.
I think the greatest irony here is how someone who considers herself invisible has the power to be the most visible person in the room. I loved Jane's nemesis. He is everything that she isn't, and in a way, I like that he is made this way. He is the catalyst for the change in her personality, and we see it in their interactions.
In this, Bates is a genius because instead of having one grand moment where Jane comes out of her shell, we watch her gradually break free of her silence. These two characters are great together because they show each others' weakness--one can't seem to not be blunt, while the other skirts around her words. Invisible is just one of those books that you begin reading and before you even know it, you're hooked.
The characters work great together, Bates sets up the story well so that more books can be added to the series, and the dialogue is so witty and quick that the reader will be laughing along with the awkwardness that Jane sometimes adopts. She may appear weak and shy, but she's a powerhouse waiting to happen.
After all, having so much build up inside has to count for something, right? I would recommend Invisible to readers who are looking for a light contemporary read. If you want to laugh, feel the frustration of high school, and want a character who slowly learns to speak up for herself, then you might want to check this one out. Plus, I promise you that there is a very entertaining book store owner in this one.
Jan 19, Greis rated it it was amazing Shelves: I think I was able to relate more to Jane than I was able to relate to Kenzie. It's not that I related more to Jane's personality but I could totally understand what her problem was with her friends and what she was going through. In the beginning I was worried that I wasn't going to like Invisible as much as I had liked Awkward simply because Jane seemed really judgmental of Isobel I'm pretty sure that was the girls name and I generally can't stand characters who don't stand up for themselves.
I was going to keep my distance with this character but the more I kept reading the more that I understood the situations that Jane was going through and why she didn't just speak up about her feelings. I can't believe that I'm saying this but, Kenzie, Logan, and Corey were really getting on my nerves by how much they all seemed to be ignoring Jane.
For goodness's sake, Scott was being a better friend to Jane and she didn't even like him! I was seriously shocked by the change in Chelsea, I didn't know what to expect from her but I actually ended up liking her in the end. Jane really changed throughout the book. At first she was just this shy girl who didn't want to speak up because she didn't want to hurt peoples feelings but by the end she no longer cared what anyone wanted to say and defended herself and got out her side of the story.
I was so proud of Jane by the end of this book because she had really grown! My favourite part, hands down was when she barged over to Corey's house and apologized to him and then just dove in on her friends. She pointed out to them exactly how horrible they had been to her and how it hadn't been fair and how they were treating her wrong. That was by far my favourite part. The thing that I related to the most in the book was the relationship that Jane had with her friends and the way that she kept everything that she felt and wanted to say bottled inside. I mentioned this at the beginning but let me explain exactly why I could relate to that.
I am currently in a position and have been in this position before with my friends. They just planned everything without me, I was never even asked if I wanted to go to places, everything was just arranged and everyone but me was going somewhere together. Except for me, all of my friends skype each other and talk to each other every day constantly and whenever we're actually together in a group, I might as well not be there because no one talks to me.
Jane understood that, Jane felt what I was feeling. Jane was dealing with what I was dealing and she put into words what I couldn't and it felt so nice to find someone out there that was dealing with what I was dealing. The speech that Jane gave to all of her friends at the end was really good to read because it's exactly what I want to say to my friends and even though I can't say that to my friends, it made me happy to see that a character in a book was doing what I couldn't.
Plus, if I ever need a drama monologue, that speech is going to be it and I can assure you that I'm going to nail it. I like Scott and the way that he got along with Jane. I mean, I found him a little creepy at first considering the fact that he kept following Jane around and everything but I grew to like him.
It was so great that Jane got along with him so well and it was wonderful that she could be honest with him about everything. She didn't care if what she said hurt him or not, she just said it. But basically, I really enjoyed the book and I loved the ending and I don't know about anyone else who has read it, but I would recommend it.

Originally posted on my blog: This book was such a fun read. I honestly don't think I laughed so much with a book as I did with Invisible. The cast of characters was fantastic. We follow Jane Smith in this book. Their school is divided into two basic groups. The Notables, they're the popular kids, the jocks, the cheerleaders you know the types. And then there's the Invisi Originally posted on my blog: And then there's the Invisibles. Pretty much everyone else.
The kids who feel like, if they just didn't show up one day Her constant snarky, sarcastic remarks both internally and actually spoken were so funny. And her awkwardness and insecurities were very endearing. I could really identify with her, she reminded me a lot of myself at that age. The problem is, that even among her fellow Invisible friends, she's sort of being left behind.
Kenzie went from Invisible to in the spotlight over night with an awkward incident that went on YouTube and is now dating a Notable. Corey is dating a rock star and the two are now running in different circles with Jane feeling a bit envious and resentful that they don't make time for her anymore. Jane starts out as this quiet, shy, push over basically. She avoids confrontation like the plague. Finds it easier just to go with what people want or think she wants than to actually voice her opinion.
But then it just takes one tiny spark and little by little she goes outside her comfort zone. Piece by piece she breaks down that wall she's built. She grows tremendously until one day she blows. Of course it's after she does something, though completely by accident, pretty horrible and she's lost everything. Then she's finally able to stand up for herself and speak her mind. Oh don't worry, for those of you whom are lovers of all things love and swoony, like myself: D, there's even a sweet little bit of romance along the way. And just a tiny little triangle.
It's like so minor that even those of you who don't like them will think it's no big deal. We have Miles the gorgeous drama club guy. He's sweet and nice and a total gentleman. And we have Scott, he's sort of the new guy at school. He's kind of full of himself and sarcastic and works on the school newspaper as a photographer with Jane. Which one does Jane end up with? Well you'll have to read to find out! There's actually two other books that came out before this.
Awkward which is Kenzie's story. I haven't read it yet but it's on my list to buy ASAP. You don't need to read either of those books to understand Invisible at all. Marni was pretty happy when she found out I hadn't read either of the other two books before reading Invisible and that I loved it so much. Just confirmed that it can stand alone. Seriously only took me one book to turn into a Marni Bates fangirl.
I highly, highly recommend this book if you're looking for something light that will also tickle your funny bone. You won't be disappointed. It's one of my top reads so far this year: May 08, Aeicha rated it liked it. I really enjoyed Marni Bates' first book set at Smith High, Awkward, and was really excited to jump back into this world and hang with its characters in Invisible.
And while Invisible didn't wow me as much as its companion, I found it an enjoyable and entertaining read. Mackenzie, her new popular boyfriend Logan, and her and Jane's other BFF, Corey, all play important roles in Invisible, but this book is Jane's time I really enjoyed Marni Bates' first book set at Smith High, Awkward, and was really excited to jump back into this world and hang with its characters in Invisible.
Mackenzie, her new popular boyfriend Logan, and her and Jane's other BFF, Corey, all play important roles in Invisible, but this book is Jane's time to shine. Quite, reserved, studious Jane is tired of living in Kenzie and Corey's shadows as they remain famous Kenzie and date rock-stars Corey , and after an altercation against a bully and the chance to write a front page story for the school newspaper, Jane just may get her chance to stand out. But writing that front page story means being stuck with photographer Scott. Cute, infuriating, smug Scott. What I loved about Marni Bates' writing and storytelling style in Awkward, was how authentic and relatable it was.
Bates does a fantastic job of crafting a high school setting that feels incredibly real, which is carried over in Invisible. I really enjoyed immersing myself back into the world of Smith High and all its awkward, funny, cringe-worthy, and been-there-totally-know-how-that-feels moments. The teenage dialogue is often spot-on and rarely feels contrived or forced. Yet, Invisible lacked the fresh, smart humor that Awkward was dripping in.
Invisible definitely has its funny moments, but its humor just didn't sparkle or captivate like I hoped it would. Bates explores some serious topics, like bullying; homophobia; and self-esteem issues, throughout Invisible, but I was disappointed in how these things are, for the most part, glossed over and given very little attention. Bates definitely sends out a positive message about acceptance and tolerance, but I think, overall, the book lacked real depth and was overly cutesy. I really loved Jane in Awkward and liked her a lot in Invisible.
Her shy, logical, always aiming to please and avoid confrontation personality is relatable, and it was fun seeing her break out of her shell throughout Invisible and really come into her own. Stand up for yourself woman! Jane's love interest, Scott, was disappointing. He had his sweet moments, but he was mostly an arrogant jerk. One of the characters that surprised me in a good way was mean girl Chelsea. Bates gave Chelsea a lot of depth and development for a mean girl.
I loved that, even though she is often bitchy and snobby, I totally get why characters are enamored with her. She isn't just all pretty clothes and a pretty face, and people aren't simply scared of her; she has an addicting charismatic charm, without ever resorting to being cheesy or out of character. I look forward to discovering more about Chelsea in Notable. Invisible is a cute, fun read with a likable heroine and hip story. I really enjoy Marni Bates' entertaining and fresh writing style and storytelling, and always look forward to her next book.
Invisible and its companion, Awkward, would make great summer reads! Oct 17, C. I'm pleasantly surprised that this book was good, considering its predecessor cannot boast the same. The writing was corny and juvenile as in "Awkward", but the storyline was much more interesting, despite the fact that in this one no one went on the Ellen Show. The plot was more entertaining, the characters were more fun to read about other than Kenzie and Logan, who made me groan or roll my eyes every time their names showed up on a page and I felt way more of a connection to the protagonist I'm pleasantly surprised that this book was good, considering its predecessor cannot boast the same.
The plot was more entertaining, the characters were more fun to read about other than Kenzie and Logan, who made me groan or roll my eyes every time their names showed up on a page and I felt way more of a connection to the protagonist. I was way more emotionally invested reading this book. The story was also way more well-developed in this one. I felt for Jane and understood why she did certain things and why certain events occurred.
I even cried for Jane at one point in the book when she was crying too. I also think the romance, though predictable, was a lot better than Kenzie and Logan's from the last book. Way more chemistry, a much better match as well. I also really enjoyed seeing another side of Chelsea. My main issue with this book however, was that everything was so predictable. As soon as Scott's character was described, I knew that view spoiler [ he was going to be the love interest.
All five feet eleven inches of rumpled hotness in black Converse sneakers His green eyes were speckled with brown, and he made no attempt to hide his derision. I knew that view spoiler [ somehow it was going to end up getting published without her consent and cause a huge disaster. It was interesting and entertaining and there was suspense!
I stayed up late to finish this book. That says a lot! May 31, Fly To The Sky rated it it was amazing. Her books can always put a smile on my face and I appreciate that!!! The characters are funny, the situations are so far out of the realm of possibility, that it makes everything even more funny! I'm invisible at my high school and I'm fine with it This review first appeared on my blog, Read Books and Live Green To start off this review, I just wanted to say that Marni Bates is hilarious! I'm invisible at my high school and I'm fine with it.
It's kind of inevitable with a name like Jane Smith. But when the school newspaper staff insisted that I write a cover story, I decided to find out just how much scandal one geeky girl could uncover. She was quirky and fun! I loved getting to follow her story!!! Scott, the love interest, was so cute with JANE!
I loved that he was a photographer! The book store and Mrs. Blake were sooooo funny! I loved seeing a different side to the "Notables". They were always portrayed as pure evil and getting to see them in a different light was a really nice touch! I can't wait for the next book!!!!! Jane was a flawed character and I really liked seeing all messed up situations she got herself into! I loved the concept for this story! It is so funny and so far out of the realm of possibility that it made it that much more of an enjoyable read! The ending was so cute and I just loved it! It's real and fits really well with her characters.

I think that the summary on Goodreads gives to much away! So I'm going to suggest avoiding reading that one! The one from Amazon Above this is a better summary! I was not a big fan of Kenzie. I get that she had a lot on her plate, but she really was not a good friend to Jane and the fact that she didn't realize that was annoying. I loved this story. Although there is no way that you can say that this is a real representation of high school, it still contained some valuable life lessons.
So this was a pretty short review, but that was mostly because there were so many things about this book that I adored and I didn't want there to be any spoilers!! To lovers of humor! Oct 24, Jill rated it liked it. Although even more predictable than the first two, and with characters not quite as lovable, this one still ought to please tween audiences.
Instead of fighting back, she only gets more insecure and withdrawn. She starts keeping a secret journal of stories, usually featuring herself and her friends. Chaos ensues, and making things right will require Jane to take a huge risk to fight not only for the friends she loves, but for herself.
Bates adds a nice mix of humor to this story. For example, when Jane gets detention, she thinks: I sat down in my hard plastic chair hoping there would be some group bonding, maybe a little dancing, a few heart-to-heart moments set to eighties music. Blake, also adds comic relief as an endearingly quirky character. And the mistake Jane made could have had some horrible consequences, although of course, it all worked out.
But I think, for that reason, this book would be good to read and discuss along with teens. There are plenty of issues that arise, like peer pressure, pre-judging others, the importance of parental support, and understanding the consequences of your actions, that could be debated. Invisible was pretty cute. This time we're following Mackenzie's best friend Jane. Jane is the ultimate pushover. She can't seem to say no to anybody and she certainly doesn't stand up for herself.
