Tilda Finch looks in the mirror one day and realizes that she is slowly disappearing. She receives a diagnosis of invisibility, and hers is progressing quickly. The doctor tells her that there is no cure for invisibility, but after meeting with an alternative methods researcher and psychologist, Tilda feels hope rise in her chest. Armed with uncertainty, hope, and willpower, will Tilda be able to help herself overcome her disease and help other women also diagnosed with invisibility?

Thank you Jane Tara and Crown Publishing for the ARC of this delightful novel. All opinions written here about this book are mine and mine alone.

This was a fascinating book. I liked how realistic it was with the addition of invisibility. It really spoke to women's issues in today's society. The addition of some romance was delightful and helped the story progress in a way that draws the reader in and gives it a completeness. I also liked how it ended. It just felt right but was also unexpected.

I definitely recommend this thought-provoking book. It is different from any other book I've read and I really enjoyed how the author brought together the story.

I found this book to be hugely inspirational and certainly an impetus to examine one's life to ensure as some if the quotes in the book, not to look backwards unless that is the direction one is going and to not risk anything is to risk even more. Tilda as exacerbated by PEARL is her own worst enemy. Despite being a loving mother to her twins and friends and having a successful career, she dwells on what she doesn't like about herself and how she is not entitled to enjoy her life. Unlike hand gliding, she was determined not to let herself fly. She was not present in her own life and didn't see herself as worthy of being visible to others. As a resukt, her body parts slowly started to disappear as she became invisible. One day it is her nose and the next is her arm. However, she was determined to fight this. Slowly and with the practice of neuroplasticity, she changed her mind and actions. She was ready to be seen. First and correctly so, she needed to have a better relationship with herself which is wht she got back together with Patrick when the time was right. Tilda became visible again and chose a life full of joy and love. She was truly living again. This is truly a special book.

I finished this novel two days ago and I'm still thinking about the main characters, and the message about women being/feeling SEEN. There is much on these pages about the power of connecting with oneself, with listening to and changing our thoughts to more positive, helpful ones. Meditation, affirmation, and positive thinking are part of how Tilda powerfully dives into her past and finds peace within. There is also a love story woven through Tilda's journey, but the biggest love story is of Tilda with Tilda. I appreciated how Tilda's relationships with her daughters and her mother and her therapist and her friends made a difference in her journey towards truly seeing herself so that disappearing wasn't an option for her anymore.

This is an important story for women everywhere, and for the men who love them.

And kudos to the author for making this idea—of parts of one's body disappearing—feel quite realistic and possible!

Thanks to NetGalley, the author, and publisher, for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
