Lisa Jewell does it again!

A very clever mystery, filled to the brim with twists and tuns.

There were many moments where I thought I'd figured it all out, but boy was I wrong.

And that ending, OMG.

I feel like we need a follow up book as a certain part of that story is definitely far from over.

Really enjoyed this fast paced thriller about an "Invisible Girl" called Saffyre. There were so many twists and a lot of red herrings along the way that kept me guessing right up until the end.

Ultimately, it's a book about judgements and how it's easy to blame someone who is a bit odd and doesn't fit in with society. Whilst the real offenders are often hiding in plain sight.

I loved this line about speaking out about the traumas that we think we can't.

"It felt like a belt had been squeezed around my gut, and with every word I spoke, it was loosened a bit

I enjoyed this psychological thriller, I really did, but on closer reflection some of it was just more than slightly implausible. The friendly fox, for one. That said, I was really interested in the focus on online hate groups (incel communities in particular) and how easily people can become indoctrinated, and it’s always nice to read a thriller from a writer that, despite dealing with violence against women, treats them with care and respect.

Breathtakingly brilliant, a plot that twists and turns and concludes in a fantastic way. Highly recommended, Jewell doing what Jewell does best.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 stars

This is an enjoyable twisty book, told from a couple of the characters perspectives.

Short punchy chapters keep you engaged and you are never really sure who is up to what until near the end.

Even at the end you question a couple of the threads, was everything as you think.....?

Cate and Roan have had their problems in the past, as every married couple does. But Cate is beginning to have doubts. May be she had been right about Roan having an affair.
Owen is in his 30s and, as they say, still looking for love. He can’t seem to connect with women, despite being a teacher and fairly good looking. He lives with his aunt, Tessie, and it just happens to be opposite where Cate and Roan are renting a flat.
Saffyre is 17, has been seeing Roan in his role as a therapist for an incident that happened when she was 10. He discharged her, but she is still drawn to see him, even if this means almost stalking him.

This book is told from the point of Cate, Owen and Saffyre, over the same couple of weeks. I found this a bit confusing at times, not being quite sure what stage of the story we were at. It’s a very thought provoking book, covering a couple of uncomfortable subjects, child sexual abuse and fantasies about rape. This book, as you would expect from this author, is very well written, researched and planned out but for me it was a bit of a slow burner. However, the story was enough to keep me reading to the more than satisfactory ending.

Thanks to netgalley and the publishers for an ARC in return for an honest review.

Invisible Girl is the latest utterly brilliant psychological thriller by one of the queens of the genre Lisa Jewell. It's a chilling,thought provoking tale of judgement, suspicion, deception, revenge and the repercussions that spur of the moment decisions can have on a person's life.

On the surface it appears that Cate has a perfect life, she is married to handsome child psychologist Roan and they have two teenagers who she adores Georgia and Josh. But appearances can be deceptive and Cate's marriage isn't as happy or stable as it appears. A year ago she did something that she bitterly regrets and even now, Roan refuses to forgive her for.

Owen Pick is a thirty three year old loner who lives with his aunt,has never had a girlfriend and has just been suspended from his teaching job. He is a sad,lonely character who Georgia thinks is creepy due to a inccident that happened when she was walking home one evening.

Saffyre Maddox is seventeen years old and has some serious issues due to something terrible that happened to her when she was ten years old. Saffyre was once Roan's patient and now spends her nights camping out on the wasteland near his home. She has been watching him for a while and knows all his secrets.

Three characters whose lives are going to become entwined when Saffyre goes missing and Cate and Owen find themselves plunged into their own personal nightmares and once the truth is revealed will discover that their lives are never going to be the same again.

The chapters of this totally enthralling thriller alternated between Cate, Owen and Saffyre and flipped back and forth in time between the present and the past. I loved Cate, she reminded me so much of myself due to her anxiety and paranoia over her marriage and I could fully empathise with her conflicting emotions. I also loved her interactions with her children who were both quite likeable,realistic characters, which made a refreshing change from the obnoxious brats that usually appear in thrillers. The chapters that were set in the past were told from Saffyre's perspective and took the reader through the events leading up to her disappearance. I thought that Saffyre (I love that name) was a fantastic character and very likeable, I loved her interactions her the fox and Josh. As for Owen, did he have something to do with Saffyre's disappearance as the police suspected or was he just a innocent loner who had been found guilty in a trial.by the media.

I really really loved this captivating thriller and I loved the fox silhouettes that were scattered throughout the book. Once I started reading it, I didn't want to put it down and would have read it in one sitting if my old eyes had let me. The story held my attention throughout and had me frantically turning the pages and as for the ending...wow, talk about a mind blowing twist. Lisa Jewell is a very talented author who's thrillers are consistently well written and unputdownable and Invisible Girl is no exception. Worth far more than five stars and very very highly recommended.

Saffyre Maddox is nowhere to be found, but has she been murdered? and does her disappearance have anything to do with her ex-therapist and his family, their oddball neighbour Owen, and a guy from her past?

Lisa Jewell books never fail to impress and Invisible Girl is no exception to that! This book follows the perspective of three different characters, each with their own richly developed personalities and quirks. Jewell also expertly navigates her way through the sensitive subjects of therapy and date rape with sensitivity and consideration. Highly Recommended.

I really enjoyed the story and the authors way of writing . Entertaining and twisted , everything I love In a book !!I would like to read more by this author !!

Owen is a single man in his thirties, very awkward around women and finds himself suspended for alleged sexual intimidation at work. Saffyre has just finished some treatment with Roan her psychologist but she hasn't told him everything.
Roan and his wife Cate love opposite Owen but they don't interact with each other. When Saffyre disappears, Owen is the main suspect, but did he do it?
The book is quite in depth and in some parts I struggled to keep up with who was doing what and had been where. Despite this, I did enjoy the book, and there were some nice twists and turns to take us to a decent ending.

I loved this book. I've been a big fan of Lisa Jewell since reading And Then She Was Gone but this novel was possibly even better. The plot was fast paced and twisty and the characters were believable. I sometimes struggle to keep track of multiple narratives in novels but this was easy to follow. Another hit for Lisa Jewell.

Lisa Jewell is my go-to author for psychological thrillers and she has surpassed herself with "Invisble Girl.

She tells the tale from alternating perspectives and what a tale it is. A mystery full of suspence and peopled with a variety of excellently drawn and highly credible characters.

The writing is excellent , the tension drawn out and it grabbed me from the opening chapter.

A wonderful book from an author at the top of her form.

Highly recommended.

A creepy, fast paced psychological thriller about a troubled 17 year old girl, a misunderstood 33 year man who has never had sex and has a fear of women stemming from a childhood of neglect and trauma and a family of 4 with ALOT of issues! Their lives become intertwined with unimaginable consequences.
It took me awhile to get my head around the characters and how they were linked but once I was engrossed I had to know how it ended. Short chapters with alternating views make it hard to put down and I have to say I didnt see the ending coming! I would definitely recommend this book.

Thank you for the arc of this book.
I am a fan of Lisa Jewell and so was excited to get started on this book.
The story is about a young girl called Saffyre, who has a somewhat troubled past, one night Saffyre goes missing.
The story is told from several characters viewpoints which really works with this book. The first being Cate who is a wife and mother of Roan‘s children, Roan was Saffyre’s chid therapist. There is also Owen, a local 33 year old school teacher and a bit of loner who lives with his aunt.
Invisible Girl’.
Prior to Saffyre going missing a recent spate of sexual assaults have been happening in the upmarket village of Hampstead, where the story is set. With Owen recently being dismissed from his teaching job due to sexual harassment, the finger is pointed at him. The story goes onto explore what has happened and all of the view points are fantastically linked. This book really was gripping and hard to put down as you just have to know what has happened and is about to happen. It really did captivate me. Fantastic thriller full of twists and turns.
Amazing book, yet another by Lisa Jewell!

Right beside the big houses lies a wasteland, which suggests there’s very little difference between what’s going on in one than the other. Saffyre Maddox has carried the pain of a terrible experience around with her for years. The only person qualified to help her is the same person from whom she now hides. Meanwhile Owen Pick is not living his best life, in fact, anything but. He feels like no one cares about him – but has he found something to care about? But when the unimaginable happens, suddenly everyone has an opinion on Owen. I was pleasantly surprised with this plot; I’ve read all of Lisa’s books but with this one I didn’t know what to expect. It really made me think for a long time after I finished it and I’d definitely urge readers to pick it up.

Invisible Girl is the first book of Lisa Jewell's that I have read. All I can say is that it gave me a few late nights!
Set in London, we meet:
Saffyre Maddox a girl who's affected by a painful incident in her past.
Cate and Roan Fours and their two children who have temporarily moved to a new area due to house renovations.
Owen Pick a neighbour. He has never had a girlfriend or even a friend really.
As the story unfolds we see how these characters lives intertwine when a woman disappears. Lisa Jewell excells at making the reader question how we see those around us and how we judge them.
This book kept me gripped right up to the last page.

Read in one sitting.

Invisible Girl is incredible but you already knew that by the author! I wonder if I’ll ever meet a bad Lisa Jewell book?!

I liked that the characters were strange and that isn’t a bad thing. Strangeness wasn’t used a flaw....well maybe in places but that had a point! Don’t judge a book by its cover!

Fast paced, full of suspense and a guaranteed best seller! Loved it!

Only thing I didn’t like was the end twist. I thought that was how the plot was going to end up!

I whizzed through Invisible Girl, Lisa Jewell’s upcoming book out in August, in ONE night - Friends, you will not want to miss this one! 📆

I really REALLY enjoyed this (psychological) thriller! It was actually my first read by Jewell and it really didn’t disappoint. Her writing style reminded me a bit of a cross between Robert Bryndza and Lucy Foley. I’ll definitely be checking out some of her backlist 👏🏻

Invisible Girl was everything I needed right now, it was dark, suspenseful, perfectly paced with a unique, addictive, and just plain engrossing premise! LOVED LOVED LOVED IT

This author never fails to impress. Great characters, well developed. You actually feel like you know them. Super twists and turns to the plot, she just keeps you guessing. I love how this book delves in to those ‘unusual’ characters in society, those who people are quick to blame. It’s great to challenge those stereotypes.
Would definitely recommend this book.

‘Invisible Girl’ follows Saffyre, a young girl with a troubled past who has gone missing. Written from multiple points of view, we also follow Cate whose husband Roan used to treat Saffyre for her self-harming and Owen, a 33 year old loner who loses his job at college for being inappropriate towards female students. Their stories are connected by this missing teenager in ways you don’t expect. Saffyre knows a lot more than she should and now she’s been missing for 11 days, will anyone be able to figure out what happened to her...
I really enjoyed this story, it’s my second Lisa Jewell book and her writing is just so captivating. She is able to craft characters incredibly well so even though this was paced slower than her other work I’d read it was still intriguing and I wanted to know where the story was going.
I thought I’d figured out what had happened to Saffyre around the 60% mark but there were so many red herrings that the ending was still a surprise. The very last chapter in particular shocked me and I loved it! I think this is definitely worth a read and I just think Lisa Jewell is fantastic at what she does.
