This is my first Liz Moore novel. It definitely won’t be my last. It combines coming-of-age, family drama and mystery in a way that I found really satisfying.

I liked this book. It made me think. It was sad - it deals with grief, dementia, abuse.... It also has a captivating mystery. For me, it was hard to get around some of the immoral actions of otherwise sympathetic characters. And I disliked the epilogue big time. Good, but not as great as it could have been.

The Unseen World follows a young woman as she grapples with a startling revelation about her father. While I appreciated the character development of both Ada and David, the book felt too long in spots. I think I would have breathlessly raced through a tighter plot instead of at times feeling bogged down in what felt like extraneous details. Read if you enjoy: technology, unknown identities, coding, AI, Boston settings

Oh, how I loved this. Liz Moore has very quickly become an auto-buy author for me: her characters are expertly drawn; she has such a keen awareness of time and space, and she captures emotion and vulnerability without cliche. And, here, too, the last few pages! I could go on and on. Read it.
