Invisible

The Visibles by Sara Shepard is one of those books that I picked up because of the cover. The concept seemed interesting to me as well after reading the jacket so it got added to the list. Mental illness, DNA, abandonment, and family relationships are the common themes. Other than that the book is far from common. It was hard to get it started because there was no flow but then it grabbed my interest and I really wanted to know what happened next. A lot of the questions never got answered and I usually don't like that but for some reason it worked for this book. It also takes place part in New York and the time frames jump around from decade to decade. I knew at some point it would end up at 9/11 and I really like how the author could have spent so much time on that one segment of time but chose (I think) not to. It plays a significant role for the characters but isn't focused on or made a major part of the book. Overall I'm glad I stuck with the book but I can't imagine it being many peoples cup of tea with all the twists and turns and unanswered segments.
