Invisible Girl
Summary: The author of the “rich, dark, and intricately twisted” (Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author) The Family Upstairs returns with another taut and white-knuckled thriller following a group of people whose lives shockingly intersect when a young woman disappears.
Owen Pick’s life is falling apart.
In his thirties, a virgin, and living in his aunt’s spare bedroom, he has just been suspended from his job as a geography teacher after accusations of sexual misconduct, which he strongly denies. Searching for professional advice online, he is inadvertently sucked into the dark world of incel—involuntary celibate—forums, where he meets the charismatic, mysterious, and sinister Bryn.
Across the street from Owen lives the Fours family, headed by mom Cate, a physiotherapist, and dad Roan, a child psychologist. But the Fours family have a bad feeling about their neighbor Owen. He’s a bit creepy and their teenaged daughter swears he followed her home from the train station one night.
Meanwhile, young Saffyre Maddox spent three years as a patient of Roan Fours. Feeling abandoned when their therapy ends, she searches for other ways to maintain her connection with him, following him in the shadows and learning more than she wanted to know about Roan and his family. Then, on Valentine’s night, Saffyre Maddox disappears—and the last person to see her alive is Owen Pick.
With evocative, vivid, and unputdownable prose and plenty of disturbing twists and turns, Jewell’s latest thriller is another “haunting, atmospheric, stay-up-way-too-late read” (Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author).
Traveling With T’s Thoughts:
If Lisa Jewell writes it, 9 times out of 10- I’m gonna read it. I have really enjoyed her last few books- especially The Family Upstairs.
Invisible Girl is good, but just not quite up to par of The Family Upstairs (imo).
What I Liked:
The cover! SO perfect!
I liked how the book was divided- hearing from different characters.
And the ending? YES!
Bottom line: For me, sometime this veered into more 3.5 star territory, but there is a lot of good stuff too (plus the ending!)

I just finished The Invisible Girl last night. Agreed about the 3.5 star — it wasn’t really that great, but good enough for me to finish reading.
YES. I was hoping for a book like The Family Upstairs (which is SO great). IG was readable- but she’s done better.
