Another brilliant book by Lisa Jewell! This is such a compelling, twisty novel. I read it quickly as I couldn’t put it down. I became totally absorbed in the lives of the three narrators - Cate, married to child psychologist, Roan Fours; Saffyre, one of Roan’s teenage clients, and Owen, a disgraced college lecturer living in a room in his aunt’s flat. The novel is fast-paced and so cleverly written. I often didn’t know who to trust. It’s contemporary, exciting and unnerving - a must read!

I have read a few of Lisa Jewell's books and found them or be okay. I wasn't too keen on this one it was very slow and didn't seem to be going anywhere. I read it too the end but did skip through it. I really didn't enjoy it.

I have read several of Lisa Jewell's books and always find them gripping. I enjoyed the stories of the different characters and gradually discovering how they tied together. There is the mystery of a missing girl to be solved and plenty of twists to keep you guessing what really happened. It touches on some heavy topics but is still an enjoyable read.

I've read most of Lisa Jewell's books, I'm saving a few back for special, right from her early days when romance was her thing. Her writing is strong but it's her characterisations - the exquisite perfection of her words that propels her books to the front of any shelf.
Each book is so different. She drops you off from a cliff face at the start of Invisible Girl only to rebuild your emotions, brick by single brick. 5 stars.

Love Lisa Jewell’s books and have read a few of them. Enjoyed this book with the twists and turns, kept me gripped all the way through.

I absolutely adore lisa jewell and was so excited to read this book. However - and i will trigger warning this - the first few pages immediately deal with self harm. I wont be reading this because i dont need a trigger and i recommendation people know/read and understand that that topic is involved in this book before anyone becomes triggered and relapses.

I enjoyed the build up of characters and the fact that it moved forward at an easy pace but not too slowly. A good balance. I felt a couple of characters were not developed well - in particular Roan, as we never got to his motivation or thought processes as a character although he was one of the main ones. Also Harrison was mentioned in passing a few times but we didn't get a chance to find out much about him.

I really enjoyed this book. Saffyre Maddox is a sixth form student. When she was 10 years old, something horrible happened to her which resulted in her needing counselling years later. When she finishes her course of treatment with Roan Fours she remains obsessed with him and watches him at every opportunity. She knows things that could destroy his cosy family. Owen Pick is in his early 30s and lives opposite the Fours. He is seen as a bit weird by other people, so when Saffyre disappears from close to his house, he becomes the prime suspect. This is a great story which I thoroughly recommend. Thanks to NetGalley for a preview copy.

Throroughly enjoyed this book. Have read this author before and she doesn't disappoint. It is a complex story and the reader cannot decide who to believe or disbelieve. It is complex but well told. The truth comes out in the end - but very near the end! Well written and believable characters.

Extremely clever characterisation of the creepy neighbour, the lost and troubled girl, the wholesome (or is he) therapist and his family and the ineffectual police involved in the investigation. Plenty of twists and turns that left me suspecting pretty much everyone and a cracking ending.

She never disappoints her books get better and better the story is a real page turner and will keep you up in the night it’s about a very complicated girl a little boy and a neighbour across the road who you’re not sure if you like him or not and can’t wait to find out the answer as everything is not how it seems definitely a must read you won’t be disappointed.

A twisty-turny brilliant book. I changed my mind about the characters a dozen times! Great pace, believable scenarios and an unexpected ending! Read it in 2 sittings!

Thank you for the ARC.

Saffyre is a young girl with problems. She sees a therapist, Roan, who discharges her after several years of therapy without really having helped her. She becomes obsessed with him and follows him, finding out his secrets. In so doing she meets Owen, Roan's neighbour. Owen is a sad character, unable to relate to women and who after being suspended from his job for sexually inappropriate behaviour turns to the internet in his rage. Meanwhile there are sexual attacks on women in the area. Who is behind them.

This is a complex tale, very readable but uncomfortable at times. I wasn't totally convinced by some of the events but overall I'd recommend it. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

It was compelling but I can’t really say I was all that surprised by it. It was readable but a bit predictable in places.

Another brilliant book by Lisa Jewell.
I devoured it in one sitting it is twisty and turney with believable characters that you feel you know and empathise with by the end of the book.
If you have enjoyed the previous few books by Ms Jewell this one will not disappoint.
I think she has really found her genre and writes her books beautifully.

Firstly, massive thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for sending an ARC of the novel ahead of its August 6th publication date. Having read every one of Lisa Jewell's @lisajewelluk novels I say the same thing every year... "It can't be better than her last one!" but each year Jewell writes an original and captivating story with a cast of characters who come alive on each passing page. "Invisible Girl" starts as a meandering tour through the lives of our three main characters who act as the narrators to the story: Cate Fours, a married mother living in Hampstead, Owen Pick, thirty-three year old college lecturer suspended for sexual misconduct and Saffyre Maddox, the seventeen year old 'invisible girl' and former patient of the husband of Cate Fours. All characters, as seemingly independent as they are, are in fact intrinsically linked by an event on Valentine's night. What is particularly clever, as well as how the narrative develops in bringing all characters together, is how each of the characters can thematically be seen as invisible. Even the other characters such as Alicia, Tessie, Josh and Georgia can all be seen to have a certain invisibility around them; be it Tessie's secret living environment, hidden from her nephew Owen and Alicia's need to be seen by Roan. The fox himself is an anthropomorphic treat. He skulks the streets of Hampstead; hungry for attention just like the human characters and I particularly liked how Jewell used the fox as a symbol of how Saffyre and Josh were comfortable with the fox's presence in the urban landscape of London.

This is definitely one to hungrily devour on a summer night with characters who will stay with you long after you turn the last page. A definite five stars from me.
⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank You to NetGalley and Random House UK, Cornerstone for this ARC!!

When Saffyre Maddox was ten something terrible happened and she's carried the pain of it around with her ever since. Roan Fours, her therapist, who she thought was going to heal her didn't,and now she follows him like an invisible girl, learning his secrets.

Owen Pick is invisible too. He's thirty-three years old and he's never had a girlfriend, he's never even had a friend.

But when Saffyre Maddox disappears from opposite his house on Valentine's night, and cases of women being sexually assaulted in the area arise, suddenly the whole world is looking at him. Accusing him and holding him responsible because he seems like the perfect type.

But then the questions arise... Is he really responsible? or is he just misunderstood? If he is innocent who is the culprit? And where is Saffyre?

This a very well written book which draws you in right from the first page with enough twists and secrets to keep you hooked on right till the end. And just at the very end you receive that final twist in the tale that's absolutely mind blowing!

I truly loved this book. It focuses the social injustice on how sometimes we just judge a person by his looks and then make an assumption which might not necessary be true.

Overall a fantastic psychological mystery which packs a punch. Highly recommended!!!

Lisa Jewell is one of my all time favourite authors.
Invisible Girl is a dark psychological thriller set in present day London. The story is told from multiple P'sOV - Kate Fours, Owen Rudd and Saffyre Maddox..
Three totally different people all connected, all about to collide under disturbing circumstances.
Three parts to the story, Before, After and Now.
At the beginning I wasn't particularly drawn to any of the main characters but as the book progresses and we learn their histories I found myself caring more and more about them and desperate to get to the outcome. Without giving away any spoilers I found Owen's storyline to be the most compulsive, strangely interesting and thought provoking. Lisa Jewell takes us on a twisty, fast paced journey and along the way she deals with abuse, secrets, misunderstandings and loneliness. I will be recommending this domestic thriller to friends and family.
Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for an advance reading copy of 'Invisible Girl'.
