I loved The Wife Between Us, but I could just not get into this one. Progressed way too slow and failed to keep my attention.
If you loved THE WIFE BETWEEN US, you will like this book as well. A young NYC woman struggling to make a living signs up for a mysterious study and begins a dangerous relationship with the doctor in charge of the study. The book is written from the POV of the young woman and the doctor and both characters are interesting and well-written, the mystery engaging without isolating readers, and the narrative satisfying overall. Some readers may have problems with the ending, which is not the fireworks that THE WIFE BETWEEN US was, but still a really interesting thriller.
Liked this book. A lot. Was an easy read but it wasn’t vapid. Kind of dark, actually, but not heavy. Perfect for my less than stellar ability to focus lately.

It was anticlimactic and it shouldn’t have been as long as it was. It wasn’t horrible, but it was missing something.
4 Stars!!

“People are motivated to break their moral compasses for a variety of primal reasons: survival, hate, love, envy, passion. And money.”
Seeking women ages 18–32 to participate in a study on ethics and morality. Generous compensation. Anonymity guaranteed.
Jessica is a make up artist working and living in New York struggling to make ends meet. She is on a job, when the client gets a call about a morality and ethics study that pays $500. The client, Taylor, tells Jessica she doesn't have time for the study-and is going to turn it down. Desperate to make extra cash- Jessica decides she will just show up to the study in Taylor's place.
Jessica knows nothing other than its a study for ethics research- when she arrives she is dubbed "Subject 52." There are rules before she starts- they seem simple enough- Be open and truthful, and avoid any embarrassment or pain the questions provoke. Some questions she will have to answer are :
Question #1: Could you tell a lie without feeling guilt?
Question #2: Have you ever deeply hurt someone you care about?
Question #3: Should a punishment always fit the crime?
Dr. Shields, the psychiatrist - is monitoring Jessica, in another room, as she answers the questions. Dr. Shields is immediately drawn to subject 52- and asks her after two sessions if she is willing to sign on for an extended study and more money. What Jessica doesn't realize - is what this study may or may not personally Cost her.
The characters in the book were written great. I loved the plot and the twists and turns that it produced. When I first started reading I was immediately hooked and invested. It was a total binge read for me.
Thrillers are hard sometimes because I try sooo hard to figure them out before the end and most of the time I do. I didn't figure this one completely before it was over. The ending was the biggest issue I had with the book. I thought it was good just could have been a little more thought out- but other than that I didn't have any other issues with it and totally recommend it!
