The twists and turns from the get go had me hooked.
Jess is a makeup artist in New York. She moved there from Pennsylvania. She helps her parents support her sister, Becky, who suffered a traumatic brain injury when she was little. Jess goes to a makeup appointment for two NYU students and finds out about a psychological study that will pay $500. Jess needs the money so she goes to the study, even though she wasn't invited. Enter the mysterious Dr. Shields.
Jess answers some fairly invasive questions about herself based on morality and honesty. As Jess gets drawn further and further into the study, her life becomes no longer her own. Jess finds out that Dr. Shields wants Jess to tempt Dr. Shields' husband, who has cheated on Dr. Shields in the past. Jess gets completely wound up in Dr. Shields' life and tries to find out what happened to subject number 5, who died.
I read The Wife Between Us and loved its twisty-turny nature. This book is similar, in that it takes a while to get going, but once it does, you don't want to put it down. It also kept me guessing until the end. In fact, I didn't see that ending coming. The book is suspenseful and entertaining.
The only reason it didn't get five stars is because it was slow in spots and some of the writing was spotty. Otherwise, it was a fantastic, suspenseful read.

What a crazy ride! I read thrillers frequently and wasn’t expecting much from this one, however, I was on my toes the entire time. Who can you trust? Who is telling the truth? How is this all going to resolve? Prepare for sleepless nights to finish this one.
For being what I’d consider a pretty predictable thriller, I couldn’t put this down. There’s something about Greer and Sarah’s writing that just draws you in from the first page and doesn’t let go. I knew where this would ultimately end up pretty much from the beginning, but I there were some twists and turns along the way that made the ride fun.
I preferred the Wife Between Us but still enjoyed this one! It was gripping and suspenseful throughout but a little underwhelming as far as twists go.

This book was okay - i found myself constantly wondering how far i was to the end as I couldn’t see much else happening. I was correct of course - with no ‘big twist’ but rather smaller reveals.
I did enjoy the storyline though. I do wish the ‘morality and ethics’ questionnaire part played a bigger role as I enjoyed that plot point the most.

Had high hopes for this book but was very disappointed by the writing style. Felt the characters lacked depth and the ending tanked.
“Or maybe an insistent question will haunt you:
Was it all worth it, Jessica?”
Ok so this book in my opinion was exceptionally written. The concept and execution was superb! I think the climax was a little weak but everything else, especially the suspense, was exactly how I hoped a thriller would be!! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! Recommend!!
