Invisible Woman by Katia Lief
3.5
emotional tense medium-paced

Invisible Woman is a #MeToo era book focusing on an older female protagonist who has been keeping a dark secret for decades. Thrown out of the entertainment industry after barely starting, Joni Ackerman has remained adjacent to the industry through her famous husband. After raising a family for many years, they have just left California for Brooklyn and a scandal is hitting the entertainment industry. And of course, it's connected to the secret Joni has been keeping. 

This book moves quickly if predictably and I enjoyed the even pacing and the fresh and rare perspective of an older woman. If you liked Thursday Murder Club and enjoy feminist fiction, I think this is one to pick up!
