I'll give Invisible Girl this - it was nearly impossible to put down.
I love books that have different characters telling chunks of the story, so this was my jam. The chapters are split between the following characters:
Owen - a thirtysomething virgin who lives with his aunt but is restricted to only certain rooms of her flat. He faces a slew of accusations. But are they true?
Cate - a housewife with a child psychologist husband and two teenage children housewife. She spends her days feeling insecure and scolding herself for suspicions about her husband having an affair. Are her suspicions warranted?
Saffyre - a teenage girl who was a former patient of Cate's husband. She watches her former psychologist and his family after he ends their sessions. Now she is missing. What happened to her?
This is the type of thriller where no one is particularly likeable and no one seems particularly trustworthy. There are layers of dirt and debris to be brushed away, and I spent much of the book in confusion, in the dark, and/or needing to know what actually happened. There are some really despicable characters in this and some trigger topics such as severe misogyny, rape/sexual assault, sexual harassment, and adultery. I spent much of the book feeling an unhealthy amount of hatred towards several characters.
The ending was mostly tied up into a pretty bow with a small unsettling "twist" at the end that really doesn't feel like any kind of a surprise at all.
Enjoyed this one but am not sure how well I will remember it down the road. We'll see.
3.5 rounded up to 4 Stars because there is a fantastic part about men being educated on how they should behave around women:
...how women's minds work, what makes them feel safe, what makes them feel unsafe, what's banter, what's creepy.
Can this be a mandatory training, please?
