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. 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. 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.

I have never read a book like An Anonymous Girl. It is so unique with interesting characters and a concept that has you wondering what would I do…
The novels goes back and forth between Jessica and Dr. Shields and just when I thought I had things figured out, the novel takes a different turn. My Christmas holidays were busy, but I found myself trying to find time to read just a little bit more.
I’m giving the An Anonymous Girl a lower rating because I didn’t enjoy it as much as The Wife Between Us (which I also gave 3 calculators). An Anonymous Girl had a bit of a slower build and it didn’t have nearly the amount of twists as The Wife Between Us.
3 calculators out of a potential 5. Check it out, it’s such an unique creepy read!
Thank you to Netgallery and St. Martin’s Press for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I gave TWBU 3 stars too, so I’ve been reluctant to read this one. Thanks for your candid review.

It’s different than TWBU, so you may enjoy it. But there’s also a lot of other reads out there!

I’m curious about this one, I think a lot of the thrillers I read get that rating so it’s sounds like an ok quick read.

I liked them both. I know they may be a bit predictable but the quick chapters and plot lines keep me plugging away. Sorry this one didn’t wow you as much as you hoped.

Nice honest review Amanda. So many glowing reviews out there, it is nice to see that some think it is a good read, not outstanding. I have not read this one yet but hope to get to it soon.

I felt the same. I did not enjoy this book as much which also made me realize that Wife between us was far better with lots of twists and turns in the end.

Totally agree! Sadly it wasn’t as twisty as The Wife Between Us.
