All the Invisible Things by Orlagh Collins
3.0
I wanted to like this. The premise sounded interesting, the early reviews are great. I was excited to start reading.
Four days later and still at 23%, I decided to DNF, my first DNF this year.
I liked the characters well enough, what I'd seen of them so far. But nothing seemed to be happening plotwise. Time jumped forward awkwardly between chapters, and dialogue was inconsistent. There's a scene near the start where the main character and her father have a conversation. His side goes, roughly, "You've had to take on too much responsibility lately, and you'll have to take on more after we move. I'll make sure you don't have too much on your plate."
This wasn't the book for me, but other people will probably adore it. I hope they do, because there's a good story under there. Thank you for letting me read it.
Receiving an ARC did not affect my review in any way.
