I really enjoyed this book from the very first page! I was so hooked! Lisa Jewell has such a lovely touch. Storyline was flawless. I loved all of the characters as well as the unexpected twists and turns. Highly recommend.

This was a very intriguing, well written book! It had lots of different viewpoints and was put together in a way that allows you to draw many conclusions while reading, although, many may be wrong! I thought it was well researched, realistic, original, and fun! The end had a nice little twist, which I think let’s your imagination go further into it and think what might be next! Overall, if you are Jewell fan, you will definitely enjoy! If you’re not a fan, read this, it’ll make you one! Fun, chilling, thrill ride!
Will make sure to buzz up on the different platforms! And use my low amazon reviewer number at release date!

Just wow!! Invisible Girl has moved into my top favorite books! I didn't want the book to end, I wanted to keep reading. I love Lisa Jewell, her books never disappoint! Invisible Girl is a suspenseful read and I couldn't put it down.

The twists were great and the plot was different and interesting. Invisible Girl delves into a few different lives that all connect in some way. The points of view were so different, but beautifully put together. I was literally on the edge of my seat, reading as fast as I could to get to the next page. I cannot recommend this one enough!

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for this ARC.

Oh, my! This is one of the best ready I've enjoyed in a long while. I was never bored, never tempted to "read ahead" I highly recommend this thriller.

I loved the intensity of this book. It switched back and forth between Cate, Owen, and Saffyre. They are all inexplicably tied into what has been happening lately in their neighborhood. There has been a series of sexual assaults that have been occurring lately that have brought each of their issues to the forefront. Each deals with the issues in different ways and is affected by them differently, however they all come out changed from the events. When Saffyre disappears, everything hits a head and comes to the forefront. I will definitely be recommending this book to others. This story is well written and definitely keeps you guessing. Thanks for the ARC, Net Galley.

I am a fan of Lisa Jewell's books but this one and the two before it just didn't do it for me. It's probably more that I have read so many thrillers at this point that they seem almost predictable.

I did not care about or particularly like any of the characters in this book.

This book is written from 3 different POVs. Something bad happened to Saffyre when she was 10. Roan is her therapist, has his own issues. When Saffyre disappears everyone suspects the weird neighbor. I did keep reading to see what happened but I think maybe I am just over thrillers.

Invisible Girl by Lisa Jewell
Wow! Wow! Wow! What an excellent read! Lisa Jewell has done it again! Story is told from alternating views and is told in such a way that it grabs you and you don't want to put this down for any reason! Twists and turns, characters you care about, story that sucks you in...one of the best books I have read in a while! Thank you Netgalley and the Publishers for this ARC and letting me leave my honest opinion! Will be looking forward to more exciting books from this author!

As our girl Aretha Franklin once said, "Who's zoomin' who?"

This is the fascinating story of a sad, misunderstood 17 year old girl, an angsty misunderstood 33 year old virgin on forced leave from work who has no idea why everything he says lands wrong, and a family with secrets and more issues than a newsstand.

All collide together spectacularly in the Lisa Jewell-iest of ways.

I loved it.

Thank you to Lisa Jewell, Atria Books and NetGalley for giving me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I am so thrilled to have been invited to the latest Lisa Jewell novel. Nothing better for a read on a quiet weekend. The twists and turns, and her sick sensibilities (and I mean that as a total compliment) make for exciting reads. I shall champion the latest, which I felt harkened back to classic Ruth Rendell. Bravo, and another wonderful thriller that makes domestic drama so exciting. Can't wait for the next one!

This book needs so many trigger warnings I’m not sure I can properly disclose them all but rape and child molestation are two prominent ones. I did not enjoy this one at all. Not even sure why I finished. It’s basically Watching You but a girl stalks her ex-therapist and she sleeps outside across the street from his house and plays with a fox. There’s also a creepy neighbor described as an incel (which is word I did not need to know about) And that’s it y’all. If you like dark, twisted shit this might be your jam but I was not a fan. Thank you @atriabooks for the ARC, all opinions are my own honest feelings.

What a treat, to have the latest from Lisa Jewell turn up in my email! Thanks to Netgalley and Atria Books for sending me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book tells the story of 3 sort of unrelated people. 17 year old Saffyre lives with her uncle and has been to therapy over things that happened a few years back. She was discharged before she felt ready. Cate is married to Roan, who used to be Saffyre's therapist and she is concerned about recent sexual assaults in their neighborhood. Owen is a 33 year old man that lives across the street from Cate. His overall awkwardness especially with women makes people believe he is a creep and may even be responsible for the assaults. Saffyre disappears and of course Owen is a suspect.

This was a book that kept me entertained mostly throughout. I wanted to know what happened to Saffyre and I wanted to know what these other people had to do with her and her disappearance. The formula of this book reminded me of The Family Upstairs, in that we had 3 characters with distinct stories and we didn't find out their relation until the end. I think that is an effective formula because it keeps me wondering and turning pages. The ending was good and I didn't see it coming, but it didn't totally blow me away, maybe because I loved The Family Upstairs so much that expectations were too high. Still, this was a solid read and I look forward to the next book from this author.

As expected, another gem from Lisa Jewell. She is a consistent first purchase for collections where thrillers are popular.

All hail the queen! Lisa Jewell is a master at her work, and it's safe to say she is a favorite for me; a must recommend. A family drama style thriller, Invisible Girl did NOT disappoint. What a refreshing new take on a thriller... and it kept me turning pages, and wanting more. I finished this book within 12 hours. An unputdownable journey that weaves three separate people into one, sealing the ending with a delicious twist of satisfaction.
I love multiple POVs when they're brought together effortlessly and Jewell is the best at this. Each character is well developed, leaving you satisfied and fulfilled, there were no gaps or plot holes which makes it even better. Sometimes with multiple POVs it can be a bit all over, but Jewell has the ability to keep it straight.
I was entertained from start to finish and did not want to put the book down. #Invisiblegirl left me guessing until the end, and even when I thought all was solved and over, she throws a wrench into the party and left me with a wicked smile on my face thinking, "I knew it!"
Lisa Jewell's newest novel coming in October isn't to be missed and I am sure it will be another book of the month pick, bestseller, and I want MORE.
Thank you so much to @atriabooks @netgalley and @lisajewell for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Wow! What a book! I LOVED it to bits. Talk about riveting. This book sucks you in from the start and won't let go until the very end. I absolutely enjoyed every second I spent with Jewell's latest story. I couldn't help but get caught up in the story and start trying to figure who done what. The writing was top notch and the characters were so interesting to get to know. This was definitely one of Jewell's best books yet.

I LOVED this book! Psychological thriller at its best with lots of twists and turns.

The story was told from three different perspectives:

Saffyre--the invisible girl who has had a lot of torment in her life
Owen--the creepy college professor who has many incidents that fit the bill as a peevy guy (even though you feel really sorry for him and are outraged at some of the assumptions)
Cate--the wife of the therapist that has counseled Saffyre for three years.

The characters are woven together and when you think you have it figured out you're thrown for a loop. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves mysteries and thrilles. So amazing!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book for my honest review.

Holy Cow! Invisible Girl was one of my absolute favorite Lisa Jewell books! I read this in one sitting and could not put it down. Loved the twists in the story and really liked how the story was told from alternating view points. Cannot wait to recommend this book! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy.

I’m a big Lisa Jewel fan, but this one is my least favorite of hers. In this book, you will follow 3 pov’s. Cate: who is a stay at home mom, Safire: an ex-patient of Cate’s husband & slightly obsessed with him, and then Owen: a quiet man who everyone thinks is creepy. These three worlds collide when someone goes missing & several attacks on women in the neighborhood happen. This is definitely a slow burn mystery as we navigate between the 3 people. The slowness didn’t bother me, but the lack of mystery did. Overall, I was slightly bored to the point that I didn’t care what happened. There was a lack of mystery, suspense, or the desire “oh my god, what’s happening?!”. I love Lisa but I would pass on this one.
