In this captivating and thought-provoking speculative YA debut, Alice Sun, a Chinese American girl, navigates a world where she possesses a unique ability: invisibility. At her elite Beijing international boarding school, where she stands as the sole scholarship student among the most affluent and influential teens in China, Alice has always felt invisible. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when she begins uncontrollably turning invisible, a phenomenon that she initially struggles to comprehend.
Determined to find a way to overcome her financial challenges, Alice hatches a plan to leverage her newfound power. She decides to discover and sell the scandalous secrets of her wealthy classmates, offering them the information they desire for a price. As the tasks she takes on escalate from petty scandals to actual crimes, Alice must confront the moral dilemmas that come with her actions.
Throughout her journey, Alice grapples with the question of whether it is worth sacrificing her conscience or even her life to fulfill her financial ambitions. She explores the complexities of privilege, power, and the consequences of her actions as she navigates the treacherous waters of her elite school's social hierarchy.
With her sharp wit, relatable character, and immersive storytelling, author Chloe Gong has created a novel that is both utterly unique and deeply resonant. Alice Sun is a captivating protagonist who readers will empathize with, as she struggles to find her place in a world that often seems determined to keep her invisible.
"Our Violent Ends" is a must-read for fans of speculative fiction, YA literature, and anyone who appreciates a thought-provoking and morally complex story. It is a testament to the power of storytelling and the ability of literature to explore the human condition in all its complexity.
