Invisible Girl by Lisa Jewell is a psychological thriller, a page-turner, with a clever plot and on-point pacing. Most importantly, the book has a lot of heart. Difficult topics such as sexual assault and self-harming are handled with sensitivity and skill. There are enough uplifting relationships to remind the reader that people are, essentially, good.
All the story people felt super-real to me. I enjoyed the female protagonists, Cate and Saffyre. I felt genuinely sorry for the male protagonist, Owen, and the set of circumstances that led to his situation. A minor spoiler: a semi-tamed fox is a very peripheral yet a very lovable character.
