Daylight Saving by Edward Hogan
3.0
I listened to the audiobook of this book for #antibullyreads a readathon to raise awareness of bullying and money for charities against bullying.
Daniel, the protagonist, is an overweight teen whose parents have just split up, his dad is not doing too well and takes him to a resort based around exercise for a 'holiday'. There he meets Lexi, a girl that there is more to than meets the eye - why are her bruises worsening? Why are other people unable to see her?
This is a nice book, albeit a little trivializing of some of the issues it raises (although I do think the characters are pretty realistic). The ending is bittersweet, which works because of the circumstances in the book.
