margone's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

I didn’t care for or about  the characters

Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

It was fine. Minus 1/4 pt because I have no idea what the writer was trying to imply at the very end. 

I struggled with this one a bit, not because it’s not a good book but because I felt it suffered by comparison by Lisa Jewell’s previous book, The Family Upstairs. This didn’t have quite the creeping uneasiness of The Family Upstairs which roped me in from the start and kept me turning the pages. Invisible Girl tackles some very topical themes but I didn’t find it quite as tight and gripping as The Family Upstairs and without offering spoilers, the sections round court proceedings didn’t seem match how these actually play out in the media.

This is review of a NetGalley edition.
