bookstasamm 's review for:
Invisible Girl
by Lisa Jewell
Saffyre Maddox is a trouble girl due to something that happened in her past. Cate Fours is the wife of the therapist who tried to help Saffyre. Owen Pick lives across the street from the Fours and seems to be a little off. When Saffyre goes missing, all of their lives connect.
I was very excited to read Invisible Girl by Lisa Jewell. I enjoyed her other books that I’ve read, and I think she has an interesting writing style. The first few chapters of this book had me hooked, but then I started to struggle with it. Most of the characters are unlikeable in this book. I don’t mind that normally, but when all of the characters are unlikeable it makes it hard for the reader to relate to any of them. The only character I truly liked was Aaron, Saffyre’s uncle. The story had so many different plots and so much going on that at times it was easy to get confused.
The story definitely was a slow burn, but I expect that of Jewell. Sadly, I found this one anticlimactic. The ending didn’t have that big twist that I hope to see from the author. There were a couple of twists, but they weren’t enough to give me the wow factor that I want in a thriller. With that said, it still held my interest, and the author made me want to know what happened and how it would end.
