An Anonymous Girl by Sarah Pekkanen, Greer Hendricks
3.0
Before picking up The Anonymous Girl, I read The Golden Couple by Green Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. I really enjoyed it because it was a thriller full of suspense and mystery without being gory or explicit. Thrillers like that are hard to come by so I was anxious to get my hands on another one of their books! Unfortunately An Anonymous Girl definitely includes more adult content than The Golden Couple, which is harder to skip over and ignore.
The book follows Jessica Farris, a twenty something makeup artist looking to earn some easy cash to help support her family who are overwhelmed with her younger sisters medical bills. She agrees to be a test subject in a psychological study about ethics and morality, completed by University professor, Dr. Shields. The money she receives for her participation seems too good to be true, and as the book progresses we understand why as the sessions with Dr. Shields become more intense and invasive.
The chapters alternate between Jessica’s point of view and Dr. Shields point of view. Dr. Shields chapters are written in the same way a psychiatrist might write their notes after a session with a client, which give it a very eerie, calculated and clinical feel.
Because of the writers talent and creativity, I still would give this book a solid 3/5 stars. I breezed through it in a couple days, just as I did with the Golden Couple. Just be warned that some dark content befits this dark and twisted tale.
