Invisible Girl
by Lisa Jewell
Invisible Girl follows three POVs. We have, Saffyre, a young high school student who spends a lot of time alone wondering the neighborhood. Owen, a recently suspended teacher in his 30s who makes some questionable decisions. And finally, Cat, who is a mostly stay-at-home mom of two kids and wife to Roan Fours (child psychologist).
The three stories seem very unrelated until you are slowly introduced to the different ways in which they are all connected. There are terrifying assaults occurring around the neighborhood and then one Valentine's Day night Saffyre goes missing.
This story was so compelling to read because there are so many clues that you are trying to put together as a reader to figure out the mystery of the disappearance. I have to say it took me a while to finish this one because of two reasons: first, I was so creeped out by the story. I don't read too many dark stories and this one as a female had me feeling icky (look up trigger warnings) and secondly, since there was a lot of jumping around with POV and timeline it was easy to get confused with where you were in the story.
Now that all being said this was such a good thriller! Lisa Jewell's writing I argue is some of the best I've seen in a thriller truly and I love just the level of attention to detail with this one. Sometimes I feel that writers will throw in weird facts just to try and confuse the reader but with Lisa Jewell everything has meaning or significance and every detail adds to the story!
