The snow globe incident. The snow globe incident. THE SNOW GLOBE INCIDENT. This book should have been called The Visibles: THE SNOW GLOBE INCIDENT OMFG for how often the snow globe incident was mentioned. SPOILER ALERT: SOMETHING HAPPENS WITH A SNOW GLOBE. And when you find out it will not be as monumental as the author hoped!
We meet Summer Davis, our heroine... or something, because I'm not sure she is heroic, but Summer Davis is our narrator at any rate. That rate is soul crushingly slow and worthy of beating one's head against the desk. The story largely revolves around Summer's relationship with her father after her mother abandons them, his depression, and whether or not DNA plays a part in her family's very torrid history. Or something. The thing is, the plot is so heavy and full of odd plot devices and points that I'm not sure entirely matter. There is some stuff about science and DNA. There is some stuff about her father's depression, her guilt over taking care of him, her resentment over taking care him, her NEED to take care of him, there is the fact that her father has a secret... When Summer learns about that secret it's not at all moving. It's not shocking. It's just a flash in the pan, really. There is the fact that Summer Davis IS THE BIGGEST SAD SACK THAT EVER EXISTED OH JEEZ, there is her kooky Aunt Stella, there is the reckoning of all these things supposedly coming together: her mother's abandonment, her father's depression, his secret, her obsession with DNA and things happening for a reason, her family history, her inability to let go... I... it... I don't even know how to write a review about this book because I'm not even sure what happens. I mean, stuff happens, and it's all clear, you know, but at the same time it isn't clear and stuff doesn't happen and DSLKGHSLKHYOIRH. IT JUST DOESN'T OKAY??
Towards the end I start to wonder if the main character is not really her father, as he is the only main character that has any sort of resolution. We meet Summer's brother and cousin and friend, and they are resolved, certainly. We see them change, but they are hardly secondary characters. They exist only to tell us more about Summer and what they tell us is what we already know: SUMMER IS THE SADDEST SACK OF SADNESS.
Shepard writes beautifully. She constructs wonderfully choreographed sentences and has a keen awareness of how to involve emotion into dialogue and surroundings. What she does not do is makes sense of a plot that is so over burdened with wanting to be poignant that is becomes a giant, sloppy mess. The book ends. It simply... ends.

I read an Advanced Copy of The Visibles and absolutely loved it!
The author has the ability to combine humor, wisdom and sadness in a refreshing and straightforward voice. I could not put the book down, and after finishing, read it again just to see what I might have missed!
I'm looking forward to all future books by this author. I'm sure she'll become one of my favorites!

too confusing for my nonexistent brain😘😩✌️✨
October 1, 2009
Thought provoking, sad, complex. I liked that she didn't settle for an easy resolution although I wanted to scream at some of choices that Summer made. The mystery behind her father's mental breakdown and the way it is developed in the story adds another layer of intrigue.

I got 3/4 of the way through this book and didn't care enough to finish it- that almost never happens to me with novels- I will almost always finish them. And I can't even say anything awful about the writing itself- it isn't terrible, but the plot is convoluted and, frankly, BORING. The characters in this book are all pretty unlikable, and I simply didn't care what happened to them. I was surprised at how unbelievably SLOW this story was, too, as I devoured the PLL series by Shepard in a couple of weeks all at once a couple of summers ago- but if this is how she writes adult fiction versus YA fiction, she needs to stick to YA fiction or seriously adjust her pacing. Adult fiction does not have to move at a snail's pace and have a narrator who sucks to be good.... at any rate, though I feel a little guilty about doing so, I'm only giving this book one star because yuck- am returning it to the library after having it out and renewing it thinking it would get better, and wish I hadn't checked it out or spent 3 weeks trying to finish it. Blech.

I initially found the blurb’s summary of the boon to be quite confusing and weirdly badly describes the novel. However, I think that this is due to the fact that book is not written for one specific genre and although starts with adolescence is not entirely about growing up either.
Instead it focuses on someone who is obsessive with being a care giver who has not known little except her Father being extremely mentally ill. I was at first frustrated with the fact that she is never truly thanked for helping others and it’s more than implied as being a scapegoat for her own problems. However, I thought about it and realised that had her sacrifices been recognised the book would not have felt as real. But I still feel slightly angry for her as Stella and her Dad seemed to almost take her for granted.
The only thing which I did find annoying was the Josephine sister who appears from the car crash and that the crash should have stayed as background event.

Enjoyable and confusing whilst reading however all fell into place at the end. The changing of narrators took a bit of getting used to.
I'm not sure I understood the relevance of the snow globe incident.

I had higher hopes because I loved the PLL books so much but I should have just re-read them instead. Summer is such an annoying character, the book is all over the place without any resolution for anyone except the dad... her writing is still really good but the plot.... ugh.

Sara Shepard’s novel The Visibles: A Novel is the type of story I generally love. It is a bit of a coming of age novel about a girl from a dysfunctional family. The novel is about a young girl named Summer Davis whose mother has abandoned the family. If that isn’t tough enough for a young girl, there is also Summer’s father who suffers from mental illness and an older brother seemingly in denial of it all. The theme of family, loss, and how family background and situations affects each of us deeply is prevalent throughout this story.
A substitute teacher in Summer's Biology class gives a talk on DNA. He tell the class that DNA is all that matters: whether you are sick, smart, stupid, what you look like, how you think, everything about your past and everything about your future. He adds that you cannot escape your parents, and that you are tethered to them for life because of your DNA. While the rest of the class makes jokes about what the teacher has said, Summer becomes obsessed with the Biology teacher's lecture.
The Visibles: A Novel is told from the first person, Summer's perspective, and although I enjoyed the story, I had a bit of a problem relating to Summer's attitude in general. Although the story jumps around a bit, as it progresses clues are revealed that made me want to read more. The story reaffirmed how there are often questions left unanswered, pieces of our parents lives that we might never know that affects the person we are today. There was also some fascinating symbolism in this story, specifically about the Twin Towers before and after 9/11 and how it relates to Summer's life.
I was happy I decided to review this book for the Amazon Vine program. I thought this coming of age story was well done.

Hm.
I got this book at a book swap event where there was very little choice, so I gave Sara Shepard another chance even though I pretty much detested "Pretty Little Liars" in all its commercial, formulaic, glory.
Now I was in bed, recovering from a cold, and it seemed a good moment to start it. And then I read it in one go - so it seems rather well-written because I found it hard to put down. And yet there is something about it that left me dissatisfied and grumpy.
Reading it was oddly upsetting - everyone in the book is unhappy, or that's what the main narrator thinks, and you read along and it never gets any better and you want to sit the narrator down and give her a cup of hot milk and explain her a few things. She gets very hung up on small events, and you often don't fully understand why - and then there's a dénouement but it leaves you thinking that there actually wasn't a nœud in the first place. I couldn't figure out whether this was clever and you were supposed to come to the conclusion that Miss Narrator (I just finished this and already forgot her name) finally figures out that she spent her life worried about stuff that was no big deal, or that she was so severely traumatized by her messed-up family that she couldn't be any different (even though her brother could), or whether the author didn't really know what she was doing with the story.
A happy ending wouldn't have fit the book, but it could have been a wee bit more promising for me than it actually was. The narrator is very self-centered and guarded in her approach to life and people and the world, and so the ending was rather I guess this is as good as it gets-ish - but in my post-viral mood, that wasn't quite enough for me.

The Visibles is not a page turner and my life is complicated at the moment. I really needed to be reading a page turner. But I could not keep the narrating character, Summer, out of my thoughts. Summer's mother never is brought into the novel with a physical presence, but she is a force with which Summer has to reckon. What her issues were that led her to abandon her family and disappear are not explained. Summer is left to hold her father and brother together as a family while trying to find her own way.
Confusing first person letters are interspersed throughout, not written in Summer's voice, and it is unclear for nearly half the novel who the writer of these letters is. When the writer is revealed, the story takes on a deeper psychological impact with unexpected layers leading to exceedingly believable but completely unforeseen events.
My advice to readers is just hang in there because it gets better and better. It took me three weeks to complete it when my usual read is two or three days (unless it is a biography or other nonfiction work).

I absolutely love Pretty Little Liars and The Lying Game series by Sarah Shepard so I decided to give The Visibles a try. As much as I wanted to like the book, I could not get into it. Summer (the main character) was boring and the book was choppy. I didn't feel any real emotion towards any of the characters. I have a bad habit of wanting to finish bad books because I have already started them and this one was no exception. I had to struggle to finish it and I was relived when I realized that I didn't have to pick this book up again. I'll stick to Shapard's YA Fiction from now on.

I was truly disappointed with this book. Have you ever read a book that kept feeling like it was going to take off and never did? That is what happened with this one. I kept reading until about page 150 pages. I then decided I would stop and not continue. I skipped to the end to see if anything changed and nothing did. Oh well, they cannot all be good books
September 2, 2018
As much as I LOVE Sara Shepard and her books, I couldn't get into this one. The beginning was so confusing and I was so lost throughout the entire book. I can relate to Summer in some ways and I can appreciate some of the sacrifices she had to endure for her father and Stella. However, I did not enjoy this book as much as I had hoped.
March 5, 2010
Ignore the chick-lit type cover, this is a deeper book than it suggests and a compulsive read.
About how what happens in our childhood shapes us as adults. Enjoyed it much more than I'd expected to.

a little depressing but the feelings are all real and credible

This was really slow for me. It never had a huge climax in the middle. The characters could have been better developed since I felt like they were pretty two dimensional.

From the reviews I've read, this book seems pretty divisive. Some people hate it while others love it. I thought it was a good read that was thought provoking. However, like all works, there were some slight issues. It was a thought-provoking tale following Summer throughout eleven years of her life (with some time skips, of course). I enjoyed seeing Summer grow and mature as a person from high school until adulthood. Seeing her connect and later, reconnect with friends and have a mature conversation about why they grew apart truly warmed my heart. The story, specifically the dad, seemed like a very accurate depiction of someone battling severe depression. At its core, I thought this book was a story about a father and his daughter. Or, what the author intended, a girl and the complexities within her family. However, the narrative didn't make up for the fact that this book was so slow! It didn't help that the copy I read had tiny print, so it felt much longer and slower overall. If there was a bit more substance other than character dynamics amongst each other, I wouldn't have minded. It was slow and felt like a schlep to read sometimes. Now, I loved how this book was written. I enjoy Sara Shepard's stand alone books writing quality better, and I think this further cements my opinion. Overall, a good read I would recommend to someone who wants a thought-provoking book who doesn't mind a bit of slowness.

DNF 26%
I know, I promised I wouldn't DNF any more book this year but I honestly cannot read another word of this. I would maybe pick it up at a later date, to try and finish it, but its a library book that's due back soon and I honestly just cannot be bothered.
The writing is nonsensical for one matter. I can barely follow what is happening. It switches from present day events to flashbacks / memory-like scenes with no pause. You have no idea what point of timeline you currently reading about. Also, the prologue made no sense. It was written in second person POV - something I have never read before - and had literally no relevance to the next 25% of the book. It wasn't even the same person narrating - its the protagonist's father... what?
The rest of the book just pissed me off. Summer was a terrible friend. She said that her friend's fatness caused her stupidity. but what? How can anyone even think that...? Her brother, Steven, was also incredibly racist. He wouldn't let her talk to a perfectly nice boy from down the road because he was Indian and his father wore a turban. I don't want to read about characters like that. I just cannot support that sort of crap.
Overall, this book was incredibly slow, pointless and lacked a decent cast. I'm not impressed. I cannot be bothered dealing with it anymore. Not for me.

I think this book can speak to someone who has similar issues as the main character of choosing family over career. Summer seems to arrest herself to the idea that she has to sacrifice her own life because of her family's issues. Summer seems to be an intentionally flawed character since she constantly makes the reader want to shake some sense into her (giving up her dream fellowship, self sabotaging her relationship with Philip, and being unnecessarily rude to Claire).
The book was interesting but I did not really enjoy how the paragraphs would jump from the present narrative to flashbacks. I think I would have even preferred the book to be from Richard's point of view since I felt like the book glazed over the trauma he experienced. I loved the bits and pieces we get of his emotions through his written letters.
Overall, the book is definitely depressing but I liked it since it reinforces the heavy impact uncontrollable circumstances (such as divorce, mental illness, and other traumatic events) can have on a person's life trajectory. I understand Summer's internal tug of war between pursuing her own desires and her fear of change. Perhaps people who have been in situations similar to Summer's wouldn't mind finishing this book.

You ask what I think? The answer...not a lot!
I was going to ditch it by page 50 but I plodded on...and on...and on!
What a depressing soul the main character named Summer is. She is a member of a dysfunctional family who has the knack of upsetting anyone talking to her, and of being upset if anyone pays her a the slightest compliment. She is so mixed up I wonder if the author's character has not rubbed off on her. If so, Sara Shepard needs to see a counsellor.
One of the reviewers mentioned that something exciting happens at the end of the story. I think he/she must have been reading a different book.
The storyline kept jumping about, backwards and forwards, and at times I wasn't sure who was talking, or thinking, or whatever. The occasional f word was unnecessary, as it always is.
I was glad to finish it...I will, however, never forget it, if only for the horrendous incident of the wretched snow globe. Horrendous, I hear you ask? Well, according to Summer it was a major crisis - never to be forgotten! She made sure we never forgot!

I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. The general plot I liked. I thought the way Summer's dad's depression was characterised was well done and so was the burden on Summer to care for him.
The ending left me a little bit disappointed. I found it just suddenly ended with many unanswered questions. I also thought that the Josephine story line was good but rushed. It needed more of a build up or at least more after the initial meeting.
Similarly, I wish we got to see more of Summer and Phillip's relationship; after years of yearning we skip to them suddenly dating. I think if we saw more of the positives in their relationship then Phillip's breakdown about Summer not being about to say she loves him would be more impactful.

Different and Touching
This novel is very different from Sara Shepard's other novels (I have read every single one!). It is more realistic and more deeply emotional. It is a wonderful read I would recommend for adults. Sara Shepard never disappoints. Let's be real!
The character depth of this novel is good. I enjoyed how real they are. There is also the underlying mystery that seems to weave through all of her novels. It adds so much to this book! You do have to pay close attention to the shifts in narration to not be confused. Overall, good read!

This was fine. There were parts I liked more than others. Summer is actually kind of annoying though. She goes through life just assuming things about everyone, making all these sacrifices that honestly to me felt like an excuse not to decide anything for herself. Also despite the synopsis claiming this was Sara Sherpard's first foray into adult fiction it still read like YA to me. 2.5 stars rounded up.

I was preparing myself for a really good book with lots of surprises, shocks, and mysteries. I got so many recommendations to read this book and so many people had read it. This book was quite disappointing. It provided a lot of unnecessary information and did not flow at all, it made me think that this author was not an author for this type of writing. I liked the plot and the whole idea but the way it was written was poor.
August 22, 2017
Even though this is by far her most boring book and I didn't know if I could make it through it, I found this her deepest, most compelling novel. I did not know she was capable of writing a novel like this that touched on many personal and family issues and more. She is one of my favorite authors and this book made me respect her even more.
