I could have liked this book, maybe even loved this book, if only I hadn't felt so cheated in the end. A book called "She is not invisible" with a blind protagonist and her little brother, trying to find her father in the buzzing city of New York, I did like that. The protagonists where great, all the characters were well rounded and thought out. But there was not enough of this. Only a few paragraphs of the book are really about "She is not invisible", the rest was a (well meant, but repetetive and too much telling, not showing anything) rant about coincidences. Had this book been called "Coincidences" or something like that, I'd be less disappointed now, but still feel cheated, because everything we learn about coincidences doesn't really pay off, not during the book and even less in the end... I'm sure I could have enjoyed this book, had I not expected to read something completely different because the blurb and the cover and the title suggested so.
