Y/A CORNER: INVISIBLE GIRL!MARY HANLON STONE
I HAVE TO PIMP OFF A GOOD FRIEND WHOSE FIRST BOOK I HAVE BEEN ANTICIPATING FOR YEARS. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF SWEAT PUT INTO THIS, BUT THE NOVEL IS WORTH THE WAIT . . .
When poor Boston girl Stephanie is abandoned by her abusive mother and taken in by Annie’s Beverly Hills family, she feels anything but home. Her dark complexion and accent stick out like a sore thumb in the golden-hued world of blondes and extravagance. These are girls who seem to live life in fast-forward, while Stephanie is stuck on pause.
Yet when a new rival moves to town, threatening Annie’s queen-bee status, Stephanie finds herself taking sides in a battle she never even knew existed, and that feeling invisible is a wound that can only be healed by standing up for who she is.
Brilliant newcomer Mary Hanlon Stone delivers a compulsively readable insider’s view of growing up in a world where money and privilege don’t always glitter.
