An Anonymous Girl

SummaryThe next novel of psychological suspense and obsession from the authors of the blockbuster bestseller The Wife Between Us.

Seeking women ages 18–32 to participate in a study on ethics and morality. Generous compensation. Anonymity guaranteed.

When Jessica Farris signs up for a psychology study conducted by the mysterious Dr. Shields, she thinks all she’ll have to do is answer a few questions, collect her money, and leave.

Question #1: Could you tell a lie without feeling guilt?

But as the questions grow more and more intense and invasive and the sessions become outings where Jess is told what to wear and how to act, she begins to feel as though Dr. Shields may know what she’s thinking… and what she’s hiding.

Question #2: Have you ever deeply hurt someone you care about?

As Jess’s paranoia grows, it becomes clear that she can no longer trust what in her life is real, and what is one of Dr. Shields’ manipulative experiments. Caught in a web of deceit and jealousy, Jess quickly learns that some obsessions can be deadly.

Question #3: Should a punishment always fit the crime?

From the authors of the blockbuster bestseller The Wife Between Us comes an electrifying new novel about doubt, passion, and just how much you can trust someone.

 

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

After LOVING The Wife Between Us last year, I eagerly awaited this book. And I did really enjoy it- but it did not suck me in as quickly as The Wife Between Us did.

Some of this could have been my fault. January has been a bit of an argh for me and I would pick this book up- read 20 or so pages, feel sleepy or have to take my mom to PT or  a cat would be crying… and then I’d have to put it down. And this book is a book that is much better when you can sink into it.

 

What I liked:

The cover. I LOVE their covers.

How the story is laid out. Parts are revealed and hinted at and you might think you know what Greer and Sarah have up their sleeve… but you’ll be wrong.

The ending 🙂

 

Bottom line: This book takes unreliable narrators and unlikeable characters to a whole new level. I am already anticipating their next book.

    I ended up liking this more than Wife Between Us, but I had a quiet house and I was able to read free from distractions (for a change)! Love your photos. ❤
