Written by Ann Liang

"Academic rivals portrayed to perfection… An all-time top favorite." —Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights and Our Violent Ends 

"Utterly unique, thought-provoking, and wonderfully written." —Gloria Chao, author of American Panda and Rent a Boyfriend

In this genre-bending , speculative 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.

This book is just so touching, inspiring and palpable soothing embrace to my heart when I feel down, I love how the mc starts to come to terms with herself at the end and has grown learning how to embrace herself and rise up to meet the challenges over the course and consequences of her actions

and My God How to find someone like Henry irl? He’s just soo cute both him and Alice make the cutest couple in my ya book list .

Loads and loads of cringe, a cheap ya romance fiction.

It's really similar to "not my problem" but darker and less gay. The character grew as a person and it was an interesting journey. The invisibility thing is not talk about at all at the end??
