With a non linear timeline that switches character point of view, I thought this was going to be a difficult book to keep track of, but it flowed so smoothly. Having Saffyre's timeline jumbled really built the suspense until the end. Her parts were the best/most interesting parts as well. With loads of red herrings and a crazy twist, this book was pretty good. It's not her best, but I'm not mad about it.

Lisa Jewell has quickly become one of my favorite authors when it comes to suspense, and I was just as excited to read Invisible Girl as I was my very first novel by her.

I always enjoy the well developed characters that Lisa writes, and the protagonist, Saffyre, a depressed and troubled teen with a flawed past was no exception. There’s also Roan who worked as her therapist years ago, before releasing her and giving her an all clear.

While I expected a fast paced suspense, this was much more of a slow burn mystery that I still thoroughly enjoyed.

*many thanks to Atria, Netgalley, and Libro.fm for the gifted copies for review. All opinions are my own

Basic girl thriller. Forgettable. The most interesting character turned out to be a red herring who suddenly remembers everything when he needs to. Just too easy of a plot.
