Book Review of Calling Invisible Women

Calling Invisible Women

The premise is funny - how women of "a certain age" become invisible to others - but it seemed to me that Ray didn't quite know where to go with it. As a woman about that age myself I'm certainly aware that a lot of people just look through me! But I felt she really diluted her point with the bit about the drug company: either you're invisible because you're taken for granted, or because of some bizarre side effect of meds; both seems like overkill. And I like fantasy - it doesn't need to be real, just internally consistent.
Have to say that in the end I didn't finish the book. It certainly is not bad, just not appealing to me.
