I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.
In Invisible Girl, readers see the story through the eyes of three main characters: Owen, a man accused of sexual misconduct, full of fury and disbelief at the way his life has turned out; Saffrye, a young girl with an attachment to her former therapist, hoping to figure out a way to fix the parts of her she fears are irrecovably broken; and Cate, the wife of Saffrye's former therapist, who just wants to keep her family safe and together. When Saffrye disappears, every character is forced to look inside themselves and face the truths they've been hiding from.
Jewell tackles the difficult topics of sexual assault and the incel "community" head on, with her complex characters and suspenseful storyline keeping readers turning pages. This is definitely not a light read, but it flies by. My one complaint is that, even though Jewell explicitly has her characters say that there is no such as a perfect happy ending, the ending seemed a little too pat for everything that had come before.
