About this audiobook

Margot has spent her whole life as the background character in her own story. There used to be a photo of her on the mantle. She took it down last spring, after the newspaper thing. Her sister Lily does everything looking effortless. Honors chemistry. Varsity soccer. Friends in every corner of every room she walks into. Blond hair catching the light like spun gold. Margot has freckles that never fade and a habit of disappearing in plain sight. Then she does something a girl like her isn't supposed to do. She texts the boy who draws invisible girls. Hey, it's Margot from English. Great job on the Frost analysis today. One text. One group project. One sketchbook full of faces nobody else bothers to see. And suddenly the girl who built her life on staying unnoticed is being noticed. Over milkshakes. In the layout room. At the moonrise festival where the whole town can finally see her. But Margot is hiding something behind an anonymous column that reads between the lines of everyone's lives. And the closer she gets to being seen, the more she has to lose when the mask finally comes off. "Public information and creepy are not the same thing, Margot," her best friend warns her. She sends the text anyway. There is a sister who won't let her go. A boy who draws invisible girls and might be drawing her. And the newspaper thing she's spent a whole year pretending didn't happen. Because being invisible was safe. Invisible meant no one could hurt her. Invisible meant no one could leave. Being known might cost her the boy, her sister, and the only secret holding her together. Now Margot has to choose: slip back into the background, or step into the light and let the whole world see exactly who she's been all along. The Year I Stopped Being Invisible is a tender, voice-driven YA coming-of-age romance about first love, a secret identity, sister rivalry, anxiety, and the terrifying joy of finally being seen. Perfect for readers who love sweet YA romance, artist love interests, secret-identity reveals, sibling drama, and stories about finding your voice. A heartfelt standalone.
