Engaging
I do not have a ton of free time to read so it is such a treat when I do. What I loved about the Visibles is that it sucked me in...I couldn't put it down. I felt like I wanted to jump in to help out. This is a great read that will captivate readers of all styles.

Visibles Review
Sara Shepard is a gifted writer. I enjoyed reading her first adult novel, The Visibles. Sara has created a beautiful tale and her characters come to life in the story. It is a book that I couldn't put down- it will warm your heart!

The Visibles is now my number one book of all time! The Kite Runner was my number one best book for a long time, until I read this book. Sure to be a bestseller, The Visibles is by far the best book I have read in a long time!
Summer Davis is devastated and withdrawn after her mother suddenly leaves the family. She puts her life on hold, to care for her mentally ill father who, she knows, has also been keeping a secret for years.
Summer becomes interested in DNA and the study of genetics, as she questions her own family's genetic makeup. Summer's coding binds her to her mentally ill father, her apathetic older brother, and her mother who is not part of her life, but is always part of her.
When Summer goes with her father to Pennsylvania to Great Aunt Stella's house, she gains insight into the mysterious secret, as well as insight to her genetic makeup. The story delves into the dark corners of family ties, and that we each have no escaping our genetic code - our heritage. Sara's wording is sharp, clever, and insightful, with just the right amount of humor.
This book is sure to be a bestseller! The Kite Runner has been my number one book of all time, but I have a new number one - The Visibles!1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

A WONDERFUL FIRST NOVEL
I read an advanced copy of The Visibles and absolutely loved it! The author's ability to deal with serious subject matter with humor and wisdom (especially in the character of Stella!) is refreshing.
Some of the passages were so insightful and unique, I highlighted them and reread them often.
I look forward to many more books by this new author!1 out of 2 people found this review helpful.
