"Hendricks and Pekkanen are at the top of their game...You won't see the final twist coming." ―People Magazine

“Beware strange psychologists…the authors know exactly how to play on their characters’ love of danger to bring them to the brink of disaster - and dare them to jump off.” ―New York Times Book Review

Looking to earn some easy cash, Jessica Farris agrees to be a test subject in a psychological study about ethics and morality. But as the study moves from the exam room to the real world, the line between what is real and what is one of Dr. Shields’s experiments blurs.

Dr. Shields seems to know what Jess is thinking… and what she’s hiding.

Jessica’s behavior will not only be monitored, but manipulated.

Caught in a web of attraction, deceit and jealousy, Jess quickly learns that some obsessions can be deadly.

From the authors of the blockbuster bestseller The Wife Between Us, Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, An Anonymous Girl will keep you riveted through the last shocking twist.

Excellent writing, great plot, great dialogue! It must be hard for two writers to get together and write a joint book, but I was highly impressed with the outcome!

4 Stars for this unhinged little thriller. There is something very wrong with me. I cannot get enough of reading about crazy people, particularly crazy people who appear completely normal until it's too late. I couldn't love it more!!!

SUMMARY
Jess is a twenty-eight year woman living in NYC. She dreams of being a make-up artist for Broadway shows but for now, she works for Beauty Biz, a cosmetics company that sends make-up artists to people's homes to make them up for special occasions. Not exactly her dream come true, but if she works very hard, she can make enough money to pay her bills and occasionally send money to help with her younger sister, Becky's, medical expenses.

Jess dearly loves her sister Becky, who at age seven, suffered a significant brain injury which leaves Becky completely dependant on their parents and in need of various forms of extremely pricey physical and occupational therapy.

When she hears about an opportunity to participate in a study for a psychological professor at NYU, earning an easy $500 for only a few hours of work, Jess finds a way to finagle herself into this study. And, to add to her good fortune, the professor likes her answers so much, she offers Jess the chance to join an extended version of the study with an opportunity to earn even more money. What could possibly go wrong????? Oh, just wait. A lot goes wrong!I

WHAT I LOVED
This book drops little hints throughout, letting the reader know there is more to the story than they are currently being told. Little by little, the reader reader discovers the answers to the burning questions they have been DYING to know. We know Becky has a brain injury and that Jess feels guilty about the accident BUT we have no idea why and what happened until almost the end. We know someone in the book (or maybe more than one someone) is frighteningly off kilter, little clues are scattered out every so often but it's not until the end that we have the definite answer. The suspense is just so well done!!!! There are just so many revelations. I had no idea who to trust.

I loved the characters!! Jess was comp!ex and compelling. She was a decent person and easy to see as a sympathetic heroine, but she made her fair share of mistakes and was definitely flawed. Yet, I still liked her on every single page, even when she made a bad choice or two.

There are so many things to love about this book, I couldn't mention them all. It's so worth reading.

I loved it

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

I loved The Wife Between Us and this book was right up there with it. I cannot wait for the next book these 2 authors write.

Jessica Farris is a makeup artist. She goes to clients homes and gets their makeup done for their night out. While at one client, a college girl, she hears of a psychological study a Dr Shields is doing on ethics and morality. It is a 2 day study for a couple of hours each day and all she has to do is answer questions. Do this and she will get five hundred dollars. And Jess can use the money, not only does she have her own expenses, but she is also helping her parents with her sister's medical bills. After the study is over Dr Shields asks Jessica to continue on with the study and she will pay her. At first all is great, Jessica is pretty much getting getting paid to go to therapy. But the further into the study she gets the more paranoid Jessica becomes. She starts to doubt if things in her life are real or part of Dr Shields' study.

And that is all I can say about this book. Best to go in not knowing much.

This is told from the POV of Jessica and Dr Shields. But they are both told very different. With Jessica's POV we have her thoughts about everything that is going on. With Dr Sheilds, it is like she is talking to Jessica and observing her. Dr Shields chapters were very creepy with the way they were presented. But I also did have a hard time getting the hang of reading them they way it was presented. But I could just heard the soft monotone voice of Dr Shields and it just made her jump off the page.

There was never a dull moment in this book. I was hooked from the beginning, just wondering where it was going to lead. Lots of little twists and turns that made even me wonder what was real and what was not.

I will say, reading this book did make me think about the moral and ethical aspect of the things we do in our everyday life.

Poor editing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 9, 2019

Verified Purchase

Having enjoyed an excellent previous book by these authors, The Wife Between Us, I was very much looking forward to reading this and although I found the story intelligent and well written I was disappointed by such poor editing. Some books are written in a very sloppy manner and so it's hardly surprising to come across lots of typos that haven't been picked up by good editors/proof readers. It's unfortunately far more noticeable and unacceptable when you are reading a well written story, it just doesn't sit well, you expect better; it's purely down to lazy and incompetent editing in this case and very annoying for a reader to have attention taken away from the narrative when you keep noticing such basic errors ('off' instead of 'of' on quite a few occasions, other spelling errors, the first cheque Jessica received was written as $60 - made me raise my eyebrows! - instead of $600, lots of missing words throughout the book). I'm surprised that other reviewers have not mentioned this and would strongly suggest the authors get someone with a fresh eye to do a further edit so an updated version can be made available as it really does reflect badly on an otherwise great book.

Good but needs to be edited..

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

Absolutely love this genre and read at least two books a week. This one has a great story, very gripping but one huge negative point for me is the number of spelling mistakes. The author doesn't know the difference between of/off for example. Sometimes words are spelt incorrectly and other times the name of the wrong character is even used. It feels like there was no editing done or even a proof read. It's a real shame as the story itself is strong.

Twists and turns galore

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

I very rarely give a novel a five star review but this novel was excellent. I’ve read quite a few psychological thrillers recently but the one thing they’ve all had in common is that they’re predictable. This book, however, wasn’t predictable and I was kept guessing all the way up to the last page as to who was the real ‘bad guy’ of the story. A lot of the questions asked of the main character were very thought-provoking and really made you wonder how you would’ve answered. I guess there is no right or wrong answer in those sort of situations and you can’t really predict how you would react until you experience that dilemma.

This duo have mastered the art of building suspense

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

After reading The Wife Between Us I went into this one with high expectations.

Sneaking into a study on morality, Jess opens up about her inner secrets putting her in a position she never expected. Once again I was kept intrigued and on edge whilst reading, unsure of which characters to trust and how the story might turn up. To be fair, my mind had come up with so many different resolutions that perhaps the real ending was a little anti-climactic, but overall a fabulous read.

This duo have definitely mastered the art of building suspense. highly recommend.

Gripping psychological thriller

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

While I did buy the ebook edition, I was initially given an eARC by Pan Macmillan via NetGalley of this tense psychological thriller. It’s available now as an ebook and published in hardback on 7th February.

Twenty-eight year old Jessica is a freelance makeup artist. While visiting a client she learns of a study on morality being conducted by a prominent NYC psychiatrist. Anonymity is guaranteed as well as a generous fee. Constantly in need of money Jess gets herself into the study. However, as the study continues the questions became more intense. Then Jess is invited to attend private sessions. These then are supplemented by outings where she is assigned tasks.

I won’t say more regarding the plot as I find it is always better to approach this kind of novel with minimal information to allow for the shocks and twists to have maximum impact.

The novel alternates between chapters narrated by Jessica and the mysterious Dr. Shields. In the latter the reader gets more insight into her motivations. I found Jess very sympathetic. As for Dr. Lydia Shields, she is a very memorable character.

I was completely gripped by this novel and found it extremely hard to put down. It’s the first novel that I have read by these talented authors and I plan to read their earlier one as well as remain on the lookout for future projects.

Just to note that there were some editing errors that hopefully will be corrected by publication of the print edition.
