The Invisible Hour

This was not a book I planned on reading today but I picked it up and could not stop! Alice Hoffman has a way with words that is so beautiful and unique. I went into this book absolutely blind. I bought a physical copy a few months ago because the cover grabbed my attention. The Invisible Hour is the story of Mia, a young woman looking for a way out of a cult called the Community that she and her mother are a part of. She finds solace inside of a book she stole from the library and clings to it as if her life depends on it. The Scarlet Letter is that book and its story feels very familiar to Mia. I don't want to give away too many details because going in blind was so fun! There is a romantic subplot, but this definitely is not a romance novel. The Invisible Hour is adult literary fiction, 16+ for themes, mild sexual content.

For this novel though, there were times I was just kind of confused. The magical part seemed to have appeared a bit out of no where. There was nothing leading up to it being introduced. Other than that I liked the story well enough. Screw cults, about the nicest thing I could possibly ever say. If you are looking for a quick and little odd read I suggest giving this book a try!
