Book Review - An Anonymous Girl by, Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen

4 Stars!! 

“People are motivated to break their moral compasses for a variety of primal reasons: survival, hate, love, envy, passion. And money.” 

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

Jessica is a make up artist working and living in New York struggling to make ends meet. She is on a job, when the client gets a call about a morality and ethics study that pays $500. The client, Taylor, tells Jessica she doesn't have time for the study-and is going to turn it down. Desperate to make extra cash- Jessica decides she will just show up to the study in Taylor's place. 

Jessica knows nothing other than its a study for ethics research- when she arrives she is dubbed "Subject 52." There are rules before she starts- they seem simple enough- Be open and truthful, and avoid any embarrassment or pain the questions provoke. Some questions she will have to answer are :
Question #1: Could you tell a lie without feeling guilt?
Question #2: Have you ever deeply hurt someone you care about?
Question #3: Should a punishment always fit the crime?

Dr. Shields, the psychiatrist - is monitoring Jessica, in another room, as she answers the questions. Dr. Shields is immediately drawn to subject 52- and asks her after two sessions if she is willing to sign on for an extended study and more money. What Jessica doesn't realize - is what this study may or may not personally Cost her. 

The characters in the book were written great. I loved the plot and the twists and turns that it produced. When I first started reading I was immediately hooked and invested. It was a total binge read for me. 

Thrillers are hard sometimes because I try sooo hard to figure them out before the end and most of the time I do. I didn't figure this one completely before it was over. The ending was the biggest issue I had with the book. I thought it was good just could have been a little more thought out- but other than that I didn't have any other issues with it and totally recommend it!
