| Invisible Monsters details the life of the model Shannon McFarland, who loses her jaw after a stray bullet strikes it off. Almost immediatley, she loses her career as a model, and after looking at her disfigured face, her fiance quickly calls off the engagement.
Her life becomes chaotic and pointless until one day she runs into the attractive Brandy Alexander, a would-be transsexual who is one step away from becoming a woman. Brandy instantly latches onto the pain and sorrow that Shannon is feeling, and begins to console her, helping her figure out what direction she can take her life in now that she's lost everything she had before the accident. Everything is not what it seems, however, and Shannon receives several not-too-subtle hints that her ex-fiance, Manus, and her ex-best-friend, Evie, may have had something to do with Shannon's disfigurement. Shannon and Brandy team up to set things right and generally make life miserable for Manus and Evie. But as they learn more about themselves and the people they are after, the reader and Shannon both begin to realize that everything, Shannon's accident, her career, her family, and Brandy, are all connected in some hilariously twisted manner. | ||
