Had a hard time getting into the plot of the story. It became more interesting as I continued to read. telling about the lives of each person involved, going through their lives before and after Saffyre Maddox disappeared and how false stories spread. Ends with a surprise ending.

OMG Lisa Jewell has done it again!! She has written another smash hit novel! I am seriously obsessed. I read this one in a day like all of her other novels because they are THAT GOOD. Seriously this storyline and the characters are phenomenal and she always leaves you wanting more! The ending was fantastic... once again a must read!!!

A multilayered mystery story with an ending not expected. Owen is a college lecturer accused of sexual harassment by his students. A 33 year old with no life at all soon is caught up in the missing case of a 17 year old girl. She has spent time with a therapist to uncover why she self cuts.
All of these and more characters are interconnected although they don't know it. Chapters are told by each major character. The title is revealed at the end.
Excellent read.

There are a handful of authors that when I get one of their new books in my hands I’ll drop everything to read it and that’s exactly what happened here. I was in the mood for a fast paced and dark thriller and I got this at exactly the right moment for me. It was everything I was in the mood for and then some, I swear LJ gets under my skin like no other author and I urge you to preorder this one, it’ll be a perfect fall read.

Lately when I pick up a thriller I need a few things to keep me engaged. First, rapid chapters that propel me to keep reading, multiple perspectives always keep me intrigued, I need something dark and new plot wise and finally I need a solid mystery that I haven’t seen done already 567 times. I’m happy to report that this delivered for me on all levels, I seriously couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommended by me and if you haven’t read any LJ books you should she’s fantastic!

HOLY FFFFFFffffff. This was so good. I love lisa jewell characters so much. She honestly has such a way of writing people as they truly are. Each of these characters are terrifyingly at times authentic to what is in the actual world around us. I loved everything about this, though at times in the beginning some parts felt cheesy almost, very young adult in the early stages. Foxes, though. Made me happy every time. And the ending!!! Jeeeesus. My heart was racing. I won’t forget this, and can’t wait for her next. Her books really stick with me.

This story is told by three very different people, Saffyre Maddox a 17 year old girl, Owen a 33 year old single man deemed the neighborhood creepy, and Cate a middle aged house wife. The story alternates between the three characters but telling the same chilling tale from their perspective: Women in the neighborhood are being terrorized and assaulted by a man in a ski mask. Then suddenly 17 year old Saffyre is missing, and Owen is the prime suspect.
It is so hard to describe this story without giving too much away.

As all of Lisa Jewell’s work goes, the writing was absolutely superb. I couldn’t put this one down(I finished it in one sitting). The story is slow paced, but just the right kind of slow to keep you hooked. When the truth is finally revealed, I was utterly surprised. This was such a satisfying read and truly one of my favorites of the year!

I would recommend this book a hundred times over! Many many thanks to Atria Books for providing me an advance readers copy!

This was a 4.5 raised to a 5. The 4.5 was because I found myself disliking many of the characters from the onset, yet I was so engrossed in what was happening to them I actually forgot how much I disliked them. The plot was very complex and included sexual abuse, harassment, a missing girl, infidelity and suspected murder. It was gripping! Thanks to Net Galley and Simon and Schuster for an ARC for an honest review.

Invisible Girl was not a favorite read for me. The story line felt very disconnected and my interest was lost most of the time. There was psychological suspense going on which did help me get through the book.
All in all, a very twisted story containing shocking topics.
Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Another Jewell that did not disappoint.

This was another great paced, who done it, from various points of view.

I read this one over a two day period, as per usual of her works.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this great book!

Lisa Jewell has quickly become one of my favorite writers, and I jumped at the opportunity to get an early peek at her latest novel. As with her prior two novels, Invisible Girl hooked me from the outset. The central character of this book is Saffyre, who we meet at 17. Saffyre draws her power from what she sees as her invisibility. She feels claustrophobic in her bedroom in the flat she shares with a kind uncle but feels fully alive when she's sleeping under the stars at an abandoned building site.

Saffyre experienced abuse at the age of ten that caused her to self-harm. When her family realized what was happening, they sent her to a therapist named Roan Fours. She went to therapy for three years, but Roan never dug deep enough to discover the root of her issues before proclaiming her "healed." Now, years after her therapy has ended, she is still obsessed by Roan, as well as being haunted by her childhood abuse, and takes to following Roan and watching his family, who are living in a home across the street from her hideaway.

The novel alternates between the points of view of Saffyre and that of Cate, Roan's wife and mother of two, and Owen, a 33 year-old virgin who lives in the same neighborhood in his aunt's flat.. When Saffyre disappears on the night of Valentines' Day, suspicion falls on Owen, who everybody thinks is weird. Author Jewell uses her novel to shine a light on the way society today is so willing to make immediate judgments about people we know nothing about. Owen is a little weird, so he is universally believed to be guilty by the court of public opinion, with no regard to the consequences of such snap decisions.

I think the magic of Lisa Jewell is her character development. She writes the characters of Saffyre, Cate, and Owen with such empathy that the reader feels deeply for each of them. She is also simply a fantastic storyteller. I would describe this book as a psychological thriller/character study, and I loved every page. I particularly loved the ending where the good are rewarded and the bad are punished.

My thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for providing me with an eGalley in return for an honest review. Invisible Girl will be available on October 13, 2020, and I highly recommend it.

This book is told from the perspective of 3 people: Cate, mother of 2 teenagers and is married to Roan a child psychologist.

Saffyre, a troubled 17 year old who was a patient of Roan's for 3 1/2 years

Owen, a 33 year old college professor who is socially inept

Owen lives across the street from Cate and her family but has no interaction with them. While at work, he is called into the office and told that two girls have accused him of inappropriate behavior. He doesn't understand but he is on leave while they investigate.

Saffyre has been following Roan since he released her from his care. She's not really sure why, but feels it's something she needs to do.

Cate is trying to hold her marriage together. She feels Roan is pulling away.

While all the stories come together, the intensity keeps you turning pages. This psychology thriller keeps you guessing until the final page. This is my second Jewell book and she has quickly become a must have for me, she does not disappoint. Thanks to Netgalley and Atria books for allowing me to read and review this book.

Lisa Jewell knocks it out of the park again! I loved all of the twists in the story and the very unlikeable characters. This psychological thriller will have you on the edge of your seat and keep you guessing until the very end!

Another win for Lisa Jewell. Invisible girl is a gripping psychological thriller and family drama. This unexpected favorite will keep you on the edge of your seat. A heart pounding, suspense filled story that will cause you to question all that you read and second guess the characters you’ve come to know . Follow Saffyre from childhood trauma into adulthood where she can’t escape her past. Meet the psychologist that treats her. Get to know his family and the deceit that will bubble to the surface. Multiple story lines that intertwine in the most disturbing way.

I thoroughly enjoyed Lisa Jewell's newest book, Invisible Girl. If you're into dark, psychological twisty plot lines- she's definitely the author for you. Her characters are always so well developed, with some that have serious issues thrown in the mix. The story is about a young girl who experiences something awful when she's 10 years old and has been in therapy sessions for several years until she's deemed "cured" and the sessions stop. Saffyre, confused and abandon begins to follow her therapist, watching, learning his secrets, invisible.
Owen, who's in his thirties has never had a true relationship and finds himself a bit of a loner-odd ball. and after Saffyre's disappearance he finds himself in the hot seat, accused of unspeakable things. The story had me guessing at what was to come, but I couldn't quite figure it out, and that's what makes a great thriller. Never knowing what curve ball is going to be thrown at you from the story! Lisa Jewell has done it again! And she remains one of my favorite suspense authors!

* Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me access to this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

The story is is centred around the myrid of ways that sexual misconduct and assault occurs in our modern world, and is therefore not for everyone. It touches on fearsome and familiar nightcrawlers, school teachers who make sexist and inappropriate gestures towards his female students, the heartbreaking legacy of childhood abuse, and the growing and unsettling subculture of incel's--men who are not getting the sexual attention they feel the world owes them. Although the subject matter is going to be undoubtedly sensitive to an unfortunate number of people, Jewell handles it tactfully and honestly.

This is a classic Lisa Jewell thriller, with a page-turning mystery and a satisfying twist. I had a really hard time putting this one down, and ended up finishing it in one sitting. Lisa Jewell writes about the unsettling realization that there are real villains out there, sometimes closer than we think.

I had really high hopes for this book since I love Jewell's The Family Upstairs, but this was a no go for me. The introduction of the various characters were clunky. I just did not feel invested in the characters and incel?!! No thanks, didn't care about that either. Also, don't go and google it. Your eyes cannot unsee that info. Overall, the book felt unfinished and could use another re-edit to flush out the important parts a bit more. It just felt that topics of incel and molestation (yep, trigger warning) were used to shock rather than give us a good meaty story. Also, I can probably do without the random fox. If the fox was a symbolic metaphor, I completely missed it.

This book was not a favorite of mine at all. The story was boring, there wasn’t any suspense and there wasn’t really any likeable characters. No wow factor what so ever. This is a definite do not recommend. Thank you netgalley for letting me give an honest review of this book.

Just when I think the world goes into turmoil, Lisa Jewell surprises us all with a new book coming out this Fall. I fell in love with her writing last year when The Family Upstairs was released and I've been trying to read her other books while being quarantined in my apartment. When Atria Books gave me the chance to read her newest book, Invisible Girl , I was shell-shocked. ThankYouThankYouThankYouThankYouThankYouThankYouThankYouThankYou! Now that my enthusiasm is at level 100, I wanted to express my full review for this upcoming release.

Warning: Triggers including in this book include rape, molestation, and pedophilia.

The story revolves around the Fours family—Cate, her husband Roan, her son Josh, and her daughter Georgia. Working parents, Cate is a physiotherapist and Roan is a psychologist. One day, Georgia complains about their weird neighbor following her home. Their neighbor, Owen, apparently is a suspended geography teacher who has been accused of sexual harassing two of his students. Cate and Roan have a bad feeling about Owen, but attempt to keep the peace for now. Owen's an oddball for sure—bad luck with dating, socially awkward and uncomfortable to be around, and he's never been intimate with a woman. Owen isn't bad looking, but something's just not right about him. When one of Roan's former clients, a teenage girl named Saffyre Maddox disappears out of the blue, Cate and Roan can't help but imagine that Owen is somehow responsible. While the story focuses on the people mentioned at quick synopsis brief above, all characters are flawed in their own way, allowing for the reader to figure out the clues on this straightforward mystery.

I'll be honest, I loved The Family Upstairs and came in with high expectations for Invisible Girl . I'm telling you now as a reader and a fan of the author, go in expecting something completely different. This story is more direct and focused, rather than twisty and crazy (besides the ending, AHH!). I started the book last night before bed and finished it today while stalling on errands and life responsibilities for today. It just grabbed my attention from the get-go. I thought I knew how the story would unravel, but Lisa Jewell continues to keep me guessing!

This book won't be for everyone and that's ok. There's lots of triggers, it's not going to be deemed "the next Gone Girl" (thank God, tbh), but its intoxicating and immersive. Go in with no expectations, besides the fact that Lisa Jewell is an amazing mystery writer, and enjoy the ride.

I love reading books from the point of view of adolescents/young adults, especially characters that have emotional and psychological depth. The book was a bit slow for me in the beginning but it picked up soon enough and pulled me to the satisfying ending.

Invisible Girl by Lisa Jewell is simply a great book. I was riveted from beginning to end. I love that none of the characters are especially likable, but they all possess such human qualities that they are relatable. This is a twisty kind of read, deeply psychological and the ending subtly surprises. Loved this book.
