Enter Brandy Alexander, Queen Supreme, oneoperation away from becoming a real woman;Brandy will teach her that reinventing yourselfmeans erasing the past and making up somethingbetter.

Changing names and stories in everycity, they catapult toward a final confrontation with a rifle-toting Evie-by which time thenarrator will have learned that loving and being loved are not mutually exclusive, and thatnothing, on the surface, is ever quite what itseems. By turns witty, poignant, andexhilarating, Invisible Monsters will take youon a ride you'll never forget.
