Actually Invisible
Elisa Greb
Author’s Blurb:
Josie has felt invisible for most of her life—first as the only lesbian at her high school in the '90s, then in a secret relationship with her closeted girlfriend, and now in a closet of her own as an English teacher at a suburban high school. Her silence is safe, stifling, and second-nature on most days and has taken a backseat to the monumental tasks of grieving her beloved father’s death and undergoing fertility treatments in her limited spare time.
...until a student comes out to her in a writing assignment, and she is thrust into a small-town spotlight. As the target of the student’s angry parents and a slew of anonymous threats, Josie must decide if it’s finally time to speak up for herself and risk her job, her family, and her ambivalence.

3 reasons we think you should read this book:
This main character has been dealing with a big question her whole life. When should you be silent, and when should you make yourself known?
This main character is also dealing with the stress of grieving her father AND fertility treatments. How much is one teacher supposed to deal with?
I honestly can not even imagine the weight of this woman’s responsibilities. In the end she has to make choices on what she thinks is right for her student which will, ofcourse, lead to questions about what is right for her.
