Invisible Girl opening lines: I duck down and pull my hoodie close around my face. Ahead of me the girl with red hair is picking up speed; she knows she’s being followed.
My blurb:
Saffyre is broken, and Roan is meant to fix her. But for all his skills as a child psychiatrist, he never asks the vital question. So when he tells her all is OK and their sessions are over, she is left unbalanced. Seeking to find ways to sort herself out, Saffyre starts watching Roan. And the truths she learns feel like they are breaking her even further.

My verdict:
Being different can lead to so many things, and in a day of false accusations, this novel highlights one of them. An easy and enjoyable read from Lisa Jewell.
