A moving yet joy-filled story that balances grief with laughter, warmth, and unforgettable adventures. Invisible String reminds readers that even after heartbreak, life can still surprise you with beautiful new chapters.
With warmth, heart, humor, and emotional honesty, Georgie’s story will stay with readers long after the final page.
Georgie never imagined a world without Fearless. More than a dog, Fearless was her shadow, her comfort, and the one constant through every high and low.
So when Fearless passes away, Georgie feels like she’s lost the center of her world. While everyone around her seems ready to move on, Georgie isn’t sure she ever can.
But life has other plans. Between family antics, unexpected opportunities, changing friendships, and an unexpected escape to Paris, Georgie slowly begins to realize that healing doesn’t always happen quietly—it can happen loudly, messily, and in the most surprising places.
Filled with heart, humor, and hope, Invisible String is a story about grief, growing up, and learning that love still follows you wherever you go.
Jersey girl born and raised, April-Chrystal defines herself as a storyteller; from a young age, she was drawn to the creative life with a big imagination and countless stories to tell. Now she’s writing down her stories to share with you, starting with Cruel Summer.
April-Chrystal received her master’s degree in history from William Paterson University and her bachelor’s degree from The College of New Jersey. Her major was in communication studies with minors in marketing and graphic design. While attending undergrad, she studied abroad at the University of Sydney. She also holds 30 credits of coursework in psychology from Drexel University.
April-Chrystal loves her home in Morristown, New Jersey surrounded by family and friends. She is obsessed with her cairn terrier (just like the Wizard of Oz’s Toto), Susie. When time allows, April-Chrystal enjoys exploration, both near and far, playing field hockey, knitting, and reading.
I received an advance review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Georgie pulled me in right away and kept me there. What I loved most was how specific and real it felt, from the Taylor Swift details to the family dynamics and Georgie and Stone’s relationship. It all felt warm, personal, and genuine. This is a sweet, heartfelt read with a lot of personality. If Taylor Swift has ever been part of your emotional soundtrack, this one will feel like home.
