A captivating, fast-paced psychological thriller. If you’re looking for a quick read that will keep you guessing until the end; this is it.
A LITTLE BACKGROUND:
The book’s main characters are Dr. Lydia Shields, and her research study participant, Jess. Chapters alternate between Jess’ first-person narration, and Dr. Shield’s second-person telling of the same story. It’s like a cat and mouse re-telling the same story, from the view of the hunter & the hunted. But whose story is the accurate one? This clever “back and forth” narration sucks the reader in.
You’ll find yourself second guessing who is telling the truth, and who is lying… until the very last page.
THE TEAM BEHIND IT:
An Anonymous Girl is a collaboration between longtime editor Greer Hendricks and novelist Sarah Pekkanen, who took the literary world by storm last year with the publication of The Wife Between Us. It was an instant New York Times bestseller, and is now in development as a feature film. The team didn’t disappoint with their sophomore novel, An Anonymous Girl.
THE VERDICT:
Two thumbs up! It’s a quick, fun, suspenseful read. I liked it so much I am now eagerly awaiting their next collaboration!
