Invisible Emmie was just not a good fit for me. Even the ending could not redeem it for me but I do think it made it a little better. A little. I can see why this would be popular, maybe, but I also think it would be off-putting, at least to dorks like me, who were/are the kids that Emmie criticizes endlessly. I definitely think that
David Levithan would like it because there is a lot of subtle fat-shaming! It might be too subtle for him though...but for me, the thing that bothered me most was the rip on people with a disability. I know, I know, pain in is pain out. And no one can measure anyone else's pain and it isn't fair to compare someone's pain to another person's pain. But wow, I mean, for the amount of pain in that Emmie expresses, she sure does give a lotta pain out!
