See Through Me

In See Through Me, a girl's struggle with a rare condition leads to unexpected challenges and the search for acceptance in a judgmental world.

In See Through Me, we follow the poignant journey of fifteen-year-old Kenzie, who wakes up in a hospital room with no memory of how she got there. The doctors deliver heart-wrenching news: she has developed a rare genetic condition that has rendered her skin transparent, exposing her internal organs and making her feel utterly repulsive. The physical transformation is not just a medical condition; it becomes a profound emotional struggle as Kenzie grapples with her self-image and the world’s perception of her.

As her condition becomes public knowledge, a medical photograph of Kenzie goes viral, drawing overwhelming media attention and public scrutiny. This unwanted spotlight forces Kenzie into a world she desperately wants to avoid, where she feels more like a spectacle than a person. The challenges of navigating her new reality are compounded by the isolation she experiences, making her question if she can ever truly connect with others again.

Yet amidst the chaos, there is a glimmer of hope. A boy who cannot see her may hold the key to helping Kenzie find acceptance and understanding. See Through Me is a powerful exploration of identity, vulnerability, and the quest for connection in an increasingly judgmental world, showcasing Kevin Brooks’s ability to tackle complex themes with sensitivity and depth.
