Pieta isn't your ordinary girl, she is invisible. And not because she chooses to, or because she is a superhero - she was born invisible and the only human she has had a conversation with is her mother, another invisible person. Caught between longing for connection with the real world and staying hidden, Pieta has to decide whether to break out of her invisible cage or to use it as a shield. Romasco-Moore has crafted a very fascinating plot - what would it be like if one was invisible for life?

Pieta is an interesting character- and so is her mother, (their relationship is similar to Mother Gothel's and Rapunzel's in my opinion) I find those two qualities of the book made me keep reading. But to my dismay, the author turned a potentially brilliant idea into a sappy romance story with no significance and a lot of plot holes.
