My Review

Beyond Invisible is such an incredible book.  I loved this book even more than the first book in this duology.  This is a must-read story.  It is a powerful story about friendship, love and struggles.  It is so real and engaging you will not want to put it down.

Amber and Missy are now in high school and still best friends or as they say B4’s (best friends forever).  In this book they are a bit more grown up or mature than the first one.  They still have most of the same struggles that they did in the first book but some things have gotten better for both of them.  Missy’s mom is doing better and Amber’s seizures are not as bad or as often as they were.

Missy opens up more to Amber about struggles with her dad and her brother’s death.  Together they set out to find out the truth behind Frankie’s enlistment into the Army.  Missy and Amber visit Missy’s dad and meet his new girlfriend.  If you have read the first book you will understand how hard this is for Missy.  One day on their trip the girls stop at a yogurt shop and meet a cute guy, Dev that Amber is interested in.  Throughout the story they actually get to spend more time with Missy’s dad than in the first book.  Missy is not happy about going to visit him but they get to go shopping and hang out with Dev.  When they are at home they spend their time hanging out with Mase or with their friend Ned.

Will they uncover the truth behind Frankie’s enlistment?  Will the girls continue to be friends, will they find love and overcome their struggles?  You will have to read the book and find out.  I loved this story and don’t want to give away any spoilers.  I couldn’t put this book down, I just wanted to keep reading and reading.  Both of these books are well written and have great characters who you will come to love.  I highly recommend reading these two books in this amazing duology.
