Wow! Best mystery I’ve read in a long time. Gripping from start to finish. I’m a big fan of psychological thrillers and this one does not disappoint!

This book is an absolutely absorbing read that examines the underbelly of humanity. The characters are well written and the plot moves along at an exciting pace. I was wary of this one as I had read an advance copy of Hendricks/Pekkanen's first collaboration, The Wife Between us, and was not particularly impressed. However, they have more than redeemed themselves with this one. If you are a fan of psychological thrillers this one is not to be missed. Also.. no trigger warnings whatsoever. Yes, standard elements are here (including adultery, suicide and TONS of questionable behavior on both sides). But the more "delicate" elements are handled well. Kudos to this writing duo! I hope that this book blows their last one out of the water because this book is excellent.

I enjoyed this book more than their last book! I love the Dr. then I hate the Dr, Lots of twists, which I love! I was so agitated by the end with the Dr. I wanted to throw the book. And great ending ! I read it twice, and maybe we all interpret it different, but I like the way I read It! Great mix of characters. Enjoyed this book thoroughly!

WOW! Another amazing read by an author I’m becoming quite the fan of. I love how you’re never really sure who’s dong what to whom or who you can trust or even who to root for. The twisty storyline and rather unlikeable characters somehow still make you unable to put the book down. This is definitely one of those “sorry honey, just one more chapter” type of reads. I just couldn’t get enough. Layers upon layers of lies and deceit keep your head spinning in the best possible way. I already can not wait for this authors next book!

Review: AN ANONYMOUS GIRL by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. Sometimes a therapist who coaxes out all of your secrets is holding the biggest one in the room. Excellent book,keeps you nervous and on the edge. Psychotic witch alert! Five stars!

Another amazing book from Hendricks and Pekkanen. If you liked The Wife Between Us, you'll love An Anonymous Girl. I wanted a few more twists, but this still had you wondering who was lying and who was being honest. I also thought the ending, or the last move on Jessica's part was absolutely amazing. Will be reviewing, recommending, and using in challenges in Chapter Chatter Pub. Also, if the authors would like to do a live chat in the group, after the book is released, I would be happy to have them'

The book seems very straightforward. Girl thinks she's participating in a psychology study. Professor in charge of study is actually obsessed with finding out <spoiler>if her husband is cheating on her again (not sure if this is really a spoiler but I will put it under spoiler tags just in case)</spoiler>. Nothing is really that surprising... although I started thinking it was weird even at the beginning when Jess was answering study questions and was getting responses from a live person during her session. I kept expecting there to be a twist, and waiting for a twist, I swear I saw somewhere that this book had a twist...but no twist ever came. The book was just...okay. Nothing that thrilling or suspenseful or twisty ever happened.

There are some Dr. Shields POV chapters- I must say, I did not enjoy them. They seem stilted and weirdly formal- I kept wondering, who thinks like this??

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC!

My review of An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen.


This book turns from something that's too good to be true to an obsession. In this book we meet Jessica who wants to make some cash she desperately needs. The questions she signs up for on a personality study get more and more intense and personal. Soon Dr Shields only focuses on Jessica. Jessica starts doing things she wouldn't normally do in her life. Jessica starts looking for a way out, but is there one or is she way over her head?


I loved the writing and the tension is definitely there and this story touches all the bases with surprises all over. Just when you think she has dealt with the whole scheme of things she has another obstacle. It's hard to figure out who is the shady character, they are all either good or bad.I can see the Authors leaning over their keyboards smiles on their faces as they know they are throwing us another bone, another twist with curves and u-turns. All characters tie in to make this suspenseful. Be careful who you share your secrets with because it can be a whole new ball game. This is a page turner that will have you calling into work.

Thank you Net Gallery and St. Martins Press for this advanced copy to be released January 8th 2019.

I review on Good Reads, Amazon, and Book Bub.

I totally loved the authors' book The Wife Between Us, so I was thrilled to get an ARC from Netgalley.

Jess sneaks into a psychological study and is befriended by the doctor giving the study, Dr. Lydia Shields. Dr. Shields makes Jess feel special and then "extends" the study for Jess' cooperation in other tasks for which she is paid handsomely. Jess has problems so this seems like a dream come true at just the right time. However, what cost will Jess have to pay the more she trusts Dr. Shields? And, who IS Dr. Shields, really?

I wanted to read this automatically without even reading the description on Goodreads because I so enjoyed the authors' first book, I figured this would be just as good. However, I thought it lagged in some places and quite a few times, I found myself thinking, "Who would actually THINK like this?" I just found a lot of parts to be unbelievable and while The Wife Between Us, delivered a twist to me at least, I felt this one did not. Nothing really surprised me, even though I see people on Goodreads praising the twists and turns. I am actually giving it 2.5 stars because it did keep me interested enough to finish it pretty quickly, however, while this may not have been what I was hoping for, I would still recommend it because I think people will really enjoy it upon it's early 2019 release.

WOW. this book was so full of twists and turns that I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish! I really liked this one and appreciate how well written it was. There are so many books out there that it is hard to be different from the rest and I think Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen definitely achieved that with this book!

WOW! Just when I thought 'The Wife Between Us' was going to be hard to top, 'An Anonymous Girl' ends up being even better! It's best to go in blind so I am not going to mention any of the plot. There are a ton of thriller books that are 'over-hyped' but this one will deserve ALL the hype I know it is going to get. Greer Hendricks and Sarak Pekkanen are a writing duo forced to be reckoned with. The writing is flawless and I ended up reading this until 3:00am because I had to know how it was going to end! Everyone is going to ask, if there is that one major twist like there was in The Wife Between Us. There isn't just one major twist. There are several twists that will give you whiplash and you will be thinking 'what just happened!' There were many moments when I thought I knew where the story was going, but I ended up being wrong! Pre-order this bad boy and know you are in for a real treat!
One of my favorites!

Thank you to St. Martin's Press for sending me an early reader's copy in exchange for an honest review!

I really enjoyed The Wife Between Us, but I read it around the same time as The Last Mrs. Parrish so it ended up feeling a bit repetitive at the time. This is definitely not the case with The Anonymous Girl because I feel as though the authors really came into their own in this second novel. The concept is fascinating, the writing is sharp and I ended up reading most of the book in one sitting because the alternating perspectives kept me wondering about the twists and turns that awaited me. I'm sure that this book will get a lot of buzz in the coming months and it deserves all of it.

Thank you to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for an advanced read in exchange for this review.

Jessica signs up for a psychological study about on ethics and morality. She thinks it's just a few questions to answer for Dr. Shields, and then she will get paid. Soon she finds herself doing outings for $$$$. Dr. Shields is manipulative, and Jessica wonders what exactly she signed up for.

Okay, this is a really cool premise! However, a lot of it is kind of far fetched. If you read it and don't think about how out there it sounds, it will be an enjoyable and pretty cool read. I did that at first. Afterwards I realized that this likely would not pass in the real world. Jessica is likeable, and you'll hope that nothing bad happens to her. There's a lot of mystery around Dr. Shields which is fun to unravel. Pretty enjoyable read overall! 3/12, but I'll round up.

Could you tell a lie without feeling guilt?

I actually squealed out loud when I received an advanced copy of this book. For real, I squealed. I loved The Wife Between Us, so I couldn’t wait to crack this one open. It quickly jumped up my TBR shelf to the number one position.. But then I got nervous. What if it isn’t as good as The Wife Between Us? What if I have it so hyped up to live up to that?

I’ll be honest, I went into An Anonymous Girl not even knowing what it was about. It wasn’t until I had read the first 10% of the book that I went and read the blurb on Goodreads.

Seeking women ages 18–32 to participate in a study on ethics and morality. Generous compensation. Anonymity guaranteed.

I’ll say it: This book is very different from The Wife Between Us, if you’re coming into the book expecting those big twists, you might be disappointed. An Anonymous Girl was just a mindbender from the beginning. I constantly questioned everyone’s motives. I was suspicious of everyone and everything. I never knew what was really going on. The second I thought I had it figured out I was proved wrong.

I haven’t read a book that had me this engrossed in a very long time, I was up all night “just one more chapter, just one more!” Seriously, it’s that good. Everyone should have this book on their radar, pre-order, mark the release date in your calendar, whatever you need to do, it is that good!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Books for providing me this book in exchange for an honest review.

You know that feeling when you discover a new author(or in this case two) and you loved their first book(The Wife Between Us) and you get approved for an e ARC for their second book, An Anonymous Girl? You don't, well let me say for me it is like winning the book lottery and then figuring out how many hours of work and life will stand between me and the book(46 hours exactly between approval and settling in at the beach with this one). Did this book disappoint? It absolutely did not. There were so many twists and turns that kept me guessing until the end and I changed my mind often trying to figure out where this was headed.
Jessica Farris works hard to afford her tiny apartment and life in NYC. When she learns of an opportunity to participate in a research study, she thinks she will make some much needed easy money. However, Dr. Lydia Shields seems to have her own agenda and Jessica is about to play a very important role in her research. Dr. Shields wants much more than a completed questionnaire and as the things she asks Jessica to do become more complicated, the suspense builds. I can't say much more about the plot without entering spoiler territory, but I will say I was furiously flipping pages so I could figure out what was really happening.
A very good follow up to The Wife Between Us and I recommend The Anonymous Girl to mystery and thriller lovers. The book description had all I needed to know to grab my interest and kudos to these two very talented authors.
I received an e ARC from St. Martin's Press through NetGalley.

Oh boy, oh boy..... An Anonymous Girl is a collaboration between Hendricks and Pekkanen. Their other book The Wife Between Us, to me was one that could not be outdone by another book. Boy was I wrong. This story is about a young woman, Jess, who signs up to get paid to perform a study. Jess has no idea what is in store for her and she is becoming more and more paranoid by the therapist giving the study. I really under estimated this one. I felt that the writers did a wonderful job of emphasizing certain characters that enhance the story. The main protagonist is Very likeable. This story is gripping and has control of you the minute you start reading it. I wanted to get to the end so fast just to see what was going to happen. Not the jaw dropping ending that has appeared in their other collaborations but a very good twist none the less.

Thank you to netgalley as well as the author/publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

5+++ ⭐️ out of 5

THANK YOU for this ARC!

After reading The Wife Between Us, my expectations for every Hendricks/Pekkanen book are sky high! An Anonymous Girl did not disappoint!

Hendricks and Pekkanen are quite possibly the queens of psychological thrillers. This is an edge of your seat, what will happen next, type of thriller. A novel written in the POV of a disturbed and obsessive "medical professional" and of a seemingly typical young woman with a secret and a few destructive behaviors, this book will hook you from the first page. You will not want to stop reading this book. I couldn't wait to see how the story unfolded but was sad to see it come to a close. Amazingly thought out characters with just enough unreliability to intrigue you.

I am ready for the next Hendricks/Pekkanen book!

This was by far one of the best books I've read in a long time! It sucks you in from page 1, where an established therapist is performing a study. It happens by fate that a girl in desperate need to make ends meet catches wind of said study and it slowly spirals downhill from there.

This is the 2nd book read by these authors and it is another one of those endings that will shock you! Very well written and fast paced.

Thank you to the publishers for letting me read this fabulous ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book courtesy of NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

As with their first book, the characters are all well developed, believable and engaging. There are a lot of twists and turns in this creative and unique story.

I highly recommend this psychological thriller. I predict this book to be a big hit you won't want to miss reading. If you liked Gone Girl, Lies She Told or the Other Girl, you will enjoy this book. It has a fun "boil the rabbit" feel to it you won't want to miss. I will eagerly await the next book written by this dynamic duo, Greer Hendricks, Sarah Pekkanen.
