    About this ebook

    Vic Howard never wanted to go to the party. He's the Invisible Guy at school, a special kind of hell for quiet, nice guys. But because his best friend is as popular as Vic is ignored, he went...

    And wished he hadn't.

    Because something happened to a girl that night. Something terrible, unimaginable, and Callie Wheeler's life will never be the same. Plus, now Callie has told the police that Vic is responsible. Suddenly, Invisible Vic is painfullyvisible, on trial both literally, with the police, and figuratively, with the angry kids at school. As the whispers and violence escalate, he becomes determined to clear his name, even if it means an uneasy alliance with Callie's best friend, the beautiful but aloof Autumn Dixon.

    But as Autumn and Vic slowly peel back the layers of what happened at the party, they realize that while the truth can set Vic free, it can also shatter everything he thought he knew about his life...

      This book deals with some serious issues of high school life. Underaged drinking, peer pressure, bullying and all the repercussions that occur due to the ripple effect this creates. Vic is the stereotypical loner, the quiet introvert with a stutter. His best friend Brett is the opposite; good looking, popular with brains to boot. Vic is Brett's shadow, his tag along, so when Brett gets invited to a party Vic is right there with him.

      But something tragic happens to a girl at the party and all blame is turned on to Vic, because he was the one who had been unfortunate enough to help her after she had passed out from drinking too much. He had always been invisible to everyone but now he was in the spotlight and everyone felt obliged to make him pay for his alleged crime. Even his own mother believes he is guilty.

      So he sets out to find out the truth with the aid of an unexpected ally. But the reality of the truth is harsher than he expected and he might end up losing everyone that he loves in his very quiet and lonely life.

      As per usual, Kelley York makes my stomach hurt when I read these books.
