I was surprised to find myself engrossed with the plot and characters. I found the plot original despite the fact it stretched plausibility. The characters were fascinating, their thoughts, drive, and entanglement added to the story.

A story that is undeniably entertaining, eerie, and a psychological tornado arouses curiosity to see how it all ends with the swift flip of every page from the start. I must add - I seriously enjoyed the ending, didn’t see it coming which was a surprise indeed.

Having finished The Golden Couple, I started reading The Anonymous Girl and wasn't disappointed.
Greer Hendricks and Sara Pekkanen are quickly becoming auto read authors for me.
This was a true suspenseful psychological thriller. I felt the tension and Jess' dread increasing throughout the book. I also listened to parts on my commute and the dual narrators were excellent. The therapists' narration was subtly creepy and increased the tension.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press for my copy.

Good twists and turns! I kept trying yo figure out who was playing who. It definitely keeps the reader guessing. Fans of psychological thrillers will enjoy this book.

Creepy and totally disturbing. Got off to a slow start but I couldn’t put it down by the end. Great writing!

am trying to come up with three words that will best describe this book. If I really had to choose, it would be creepy, haunting, and disturbing.

A gripping thriller full of manipulation, and deceit. I thought this was brilliantly written. When there is a book with a bunch of lies in the plot they tend to get convoluted and they tend to also be confusing but this one flowed very easily and the ending was satisfying. This was my first experience with these authors but it won't be my last. I'm looking forward to whatever they write in the future.

Known for their twisty plots, this book did not disappoint. Of course who you think you are following isn't exactly the case - and watch out for new friendships.

Finally got a chance to read this book! Another great story by Hendricks and Pekkanen! I've now read all of their books and they still keep me guessing until the end! My new favorite authors!

Jessica is just trying to earn some extra cash when she becomes part of a study. As the study progresses, she realizes that this is not just a study. Can she survie?

Again, predictable plot followed by a predictable ending. I really wish I could read something totally original, but i feel like some of these authors just borrow from one another.

This book is an absorbing psychological thriller that begins with an ethics “study” and quickly descends from moral grey area into complete midnight. It has become such a popular book and I can absolutely understand why. Sarah and Greer did such an amazing job writing this book and I cannot wait to read more from them both.

This writing duo is a match made in heaven! Every single release is better than the last. I cannot wait to continue reading this pair's books and I hope their collaboration continues for many more years

So excited to read this book. Greer Hendricks is one of my favorite authors and I love when I see their name on anything! I know I'm going to be in for a wild ride.

This was exactly what I expected. I was on teetering on hysteria wanting the protagonist to be okay but still not entirely sure if she was going to be a victim or victim turn villain. The turns in this one come out of nowhere and are delightful and nerve-wracking.

I love being able to guess what is going to happen but this book was not what I imagined. It was fantastic and I can't wait to read it again to be able to see all of the hints and red herrings that I couldn't see the first read.

Oh my god, this book was so good. I loved every second of it. I haven't read these authors' other book/s so I didn't quite have as high of expectations as others but I now need to pick them all up. So good!

Is Jessica caught in a web of carefully constructed manipulation or simply a volunteer test subject?

Jessica Farris finds herself wondering this very thing after signing up to join a psychological experiment. She believes this to be a simple answer and question survey with a quick cash payout. The questions soon become that of very personal experiences known only to Jessica. Feeling that something isn't quite what it was advertised, she begins a spiral into paranoia. Who can she trust? Can she trust even herself? and just what is this mysterious doctor out for and what does he have in store for Jessica next?

A heart stopping, thrill ride of a book, Anonymous Girl is NOT one to miss!

Thank you to Netgalley for the invitation to read and give an honest review on this book.

An Anonymous Girl was an enjoyable read; it had a great dual narration that kept me on my toes while reading. The premise was excellent but for me there was just no “Ah ha” moment that made it into what we usually get from these authors. It was interesting and enjoyable, but definitely not their best work. I would recommend to anyone who likes thrillers, but read this before you read their other novels. 2/5 stars.

I was gripped from the very beginning until the end of this book! Jessica Farris is a 28 year old struggling makeup artist in New York. Chance provides her a way into a psychological study on ethics and morality run by a mysterious Dr. Shields for some extra cash. Turns out this study opens the door for a lot more than Jessica bargained for. There were a lot of twists and turns to this novel that had me on edge a lot of the time. I enjoyed the characters and their backgrounds were believable/fleshed out. All in all, it was quite a chilling read!

I finished the ARC of Greer Hendricks (The Wife Between Us) new book yesterday, The Anonymous Girl. In the same fashion of The Wife Between Us, I actually never knew what was coming. For fans of psychological thrillers, give this a whirl.

What a fascinating book. I was impressed by the storyline and the characters were all well written and complex. Where there are complex storylines combined with intriguing characters the reader experience is magnified tremendously. To have a book that is well written as well as entertaining is a delight. Reading is about escaping your world and entering another one. The word building was phenomenal in this book. Here I forgot about my own life and was immersed in the world created by the author. I would recommend this book.
