Dorothy Koomson is back on form!

This story is brilliant. The last few from her have been a bit blah but she's back on form! I couldn't stop listening to this. Performances were really good too.

Excellent story, well read.

What made the experience of listening to When I Was Invisible the most enjoyable?

I've listened to Dorothy Kroomson books before, and I love her style and the way her characters are so believable and have depth. She deals with issues without you feeling like the whole story is about those issues, it is very much about the characters.

What did you like best about this story?

The way the story and characters are still with me. I had to keep listening to find out what was going to happen next.

Which character – as performed by Susy Kane and Sara Powell – was your favourite?

All the characters were performed brilliantly and were very real.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I don't want to give the story away! Very real depictions of how people can end up in situations they didn't imagine.

Superb storytelling

I admire the work of this Dorothy Koomson and have downloaded the majority of her books available on Audible. Her characters are always interesting and engaging and the storylines have unanticipated twists and turns. This book is no different and, in my opinion, it is her best.. Brilliant premise and I love the device of the delivering the story using changing timelines. I very much look forward to the next book by this author.

Compelling!

What about Susy Kane and Sara Powell ’s performance did you like?

The narration was perfect.

Any additional comments?

This is beautifully written and compelling, with richly drawn characters that are easy to care about. It is filled with human distress, but there is believable justice there too. A warm blanket of a book.

excellent as always

loved it highly recommend difficult and extremely hard and horrifying tragedies covered but in a way that leaves you with hope and how much friendship, self worth and love are so important

Just wow!

Another excellent book from Dorothy Koomson.
A tough story but written with empathy.
I just love the way she writes. The narrators were fabulous too!

LOVED this book, Sara Powell narration was top!

Wow, what a rollercoaster. Loved this book, very well written and narrated. Very dark and difficult topics but at the same time it wasn’t difficult to listen as it was handled so delicately through the characters . I loved Nika/Grace character and Sara Powell’s narration made this listen for me. Absolutely brilliant and I wish she would be narrating more books. I didn’t want it to end,

Not the best book she has written

A little slow to begin with and quite predictable. Not one of my favourite books by one of my favourite authors.

Gripping story of betrayal and love

At first I struggled to keep pace with the movement through different years and different stories but when it finally clicked, I couldn’t put this book down. The twists and turns kept you gripped and as the truth played out I was engrossed in the plot. It was totally plausible that this could have happened and the strength and emotions of both Ronnie and Nicka were well researched. A great read and reminded me of the ice cream girls.

Emotional experience written really well

The emotional experience of trauma was covered unusually well for a fiction book. There are some quotes of the book that are very similar to things I have journaled or communicated about a couple of experiences the protagonists suffer.
