Jane Anonymous by Laurie Faria Stolarz
3.0
Jane Anonymous by Laurie Faria Stolarz gave me mixed feelings. I found it a very compelling read that had me hooked right from the start. I did not want to put this book down until the very end. I have always been a fan of having two story lines and Stolarz did a great job of it in this book as well.. She made me feel scared, excited, hunted, relieved, and everything else in this story along with her main character. She is a talented writer that knows how to put together a good story.
But. I found the twist rather unsurprising and had a feeling it was coming pretty soon. I also was not a fan of how she portrayed certain people towards the end of the book, such as one of her friends, the police and the therapists. We are in a place where therapy becomes more and more accepted openly, rather than something you should keep a secret at all costs, and I would have liked to see some more support for that in her book. She had a great set up for it but went the opposite way the majority of the time.
