Personally, it was difficult for me to finish. Overall it was a good book with a unique and interesting story-line. I didn’t really like any of the characters, except Noah. I am a fan of Greer Hendricks and look forward to reading more from her.

Had the potential to be a good thriller, but it honestly was suchhhh a slow burn.
An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in late November.
A make-up artist for hire, Jessica. learns of a high-paying psych survey - including and after this, it shifts between first (Jessica) and second-person (the experimenter, the mysterious Dr Shields, who seems to have ulterior motives) narration, though the study itself (which turns from a computer questionnaire into a real-life, one-on-one directive study) feels like a high-pressure, fiercely inquisitive character that has a conscience-like effect on her personal life. Over time, Jessica slowly comes to terms with the lapses of morality in her life and sees that her choices are driven by want of money, while Dr Shields turns increasingly obsessive and focuses their attention exclusively on Jessica. All told, it has the earmarks of a typical YA novel (i.e. references to pop culture, an insecure yet plucky lead, and the rapid acceleration of an ending), but slants a bit different, a bit darker.

Great thriller! Good pacing, creepy antagonist, enough uncertainty to keep the story going.
This book is one of my favorite books I have ever read. I was intrigued the entire time and fear writing more for any sort of spoiler. Also, I find psychiatry an interesting subject.
