    About this audiobook

    Alice and Jewel have been best friends since grade school. Together, they don't need anyone else, and together they blend into the background of high school. Invisible. To Alice, Jewel is the opposite of invisible. Jewel is her best friend who goes to Indie concerts and art shows with her. Jewel scoffs at school dances with her. Alice is so comfortable around Jewel that she can talk to him about almost anything. But she can't tell him that she likes the cool, popular Simon. And then Simon asks her to the school dance the same day that Jewel kisses her for the first time. Still, she can't say no to Simon. He seems like the easy choice, the one she's attracted to, the one she's ready for. But will it mean losing Jewel? In a bright debut novel set against the lively backdrop of Seattle, Alice must learn the difference between love and a crush, and what it means to be yourself when you're not sure who that is yet.

      reads like a boring diary, static dialogue and not any reason early on for me to care to continue.
    • 2/5
      Although not my particular interest to read, the story is enjoyably written. It's the struggle a teenage girl goes through deciding between her long-time boy best-friend and the intellectual football player who's smitten with her. The story kind of speeds through the timeline to me. There's a few suggestive items of discussion but it's dealt with in a pretty mature way. This one goes in the chick lit section :)
    • 3/5
      A very easy to read novel about finding out that love is more than attraction.
    • 3/5
      Alice considers herself to be invisible at her high school. She's not one of the cool kids, she's not freaky enough to really be part of the art crowd... Her only friend is Jewel, a boy she's known since she was in preschool. Alice wants to get out of her little cocoon and see what the world has to offer. When football hunk Simon Murphy kisses her, Alice finds herself having to choose between her crush and her best friend. I've never been to Seattle, but Liz Gallagher makes me feel as if I had. Her descriptions are so vivid that I felt like I was walking down the street with Alice and watching her create her art.
    • 5/5
      This book is a wonderful look at the life of Alice, a high school student living in Seattle. The author painted such vivid pictures of the city that I felt like I was walking along side Alice and her best friend Jewel (short for Julian) throughout the entire book. Alice is a believable teenager who is confused by hormones and the actions of her crush (Simon) and her best friend (Jewel). I loved how the author used dialogue. The teens in this book talk to each other like real teens do. I think high schoolers will identify with the Alice and her troubles. I would recommend this book to students looking for books on first relationships or dating.

      Alice and Jewel are the same person. Best friends since they can remember, they are both outsider artists; everyone thinks Jewel is gay because Alice is the only person he ever talks to, and Alice just doesn’t talk at all to anyone else. They both like the same quirky, gory, and eccentric stuff that can be found in Seattle. They are never apart, and yet no one else sees them. They are invisible.However, as a high school sophomore, Alice is beginning to want something more. She has a major crush on Simon Murphy, a popular and gorgeous football player who is clearly out of her league. So Alice can hardly believe it when Simon starts talking to her. Pretty soon they are apparently an item—the oddest, most incomprehensible item the school has ever seen, perhaps. There’s no pretense about Simon when he’s around her, though. He is a genuinely good and sincere guy who understands his popular crowd is not all that great sometimes and envies the artsy crowd—Alice included—for being able to be themselves.But her budding relationship with Simon puts a strain on Alice and Jewel’s friendship, which was so close they were practically a couple. A week ago Alice had no prospects; suddenly she was stuck choosing between two. Either she begins a new life with the guy of her dreams and explore a new social life, or she remains with Jewel and continues to be invisible to the rest of the world.Which one will Alice choose? Or can she have both?I absolutely loved this book because all the characters are so real. There are no annoying stereotypes because it seems like every character defies them. There are no easy answers because, well, that’s life, and Liz Gallagher portrays it so very sweetly. This is a short and quick read, but it will linger with you.
