Summary
The next audiobook of psychological suspense and obsession from the authors of the blockbuster bestseller The Wife Between Us.

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

When Jessica Farris signs up for a psychology study conducted by the mysterious Dr. Shields, she thinks all she’ll have to do is answer a few questions, collect her money, and leave.

Question #1: Could you tell a lie without feeling guilt?

But as the questions grow more and more intense and invasive and the sessions become outings where Jess is told what to wear and how to act, she begins to feel as though Dr. Shields may know what she’s thinking…and what she’s hiding.

Question #2: Have you ever deeply hurt someone you care about?

As Jess’s paranoia grows, it becomes clear that she can no longer trust what in her life is real, and what is one of Dr. Shields’ manipulative experiments. Caught in a web of deceit and jealousy, Jess quickly learns that some obsessions can be deadly.

Question #3: Should a punishment always fit the crime?

From the authors of the blockbuster bestseller The Wife Between Us comes an electrifying new audiobook about doubt, passion, and just how much you can trust someone.

Praise for The Wife Between Us:

'[A] seamless thriller that will keep readers on their toes to the very end...Readers will enjoy the dizzying back-and-forth as they attempt to figure out just who to root for and as the suspense ratchets up to one hell of a conclusion.' —Booklist

The story was good strong well paced The narrator of the doctor shields was irritating and took away from my enjoyment. Her over articulating every syllable became was overdone

This novel had an exciting, complex and twisting plot as the mysterious life of a clinical psychiatrist is revealed and explored by her research subject / patient who finds herself manipulated to the point of danger. Interesting character development and accuracy in factual revelation about the unethical practice of psychiatry by a woman with character adversities.

Exhilarating build up of intricate characters mad e it very hard to not finish the whole audio in one go.

It’s a bit cheesy. Something about it feels cliché. However, it still made for an entertaining listen. And it was so cheesy at times that it was funny, which was enjoyable. I would call the book decent. And it was a welcome escape from the day to day-just nothing amazing.

Dr Shields voice is a little aggravating but she is supposed to sound that way.

Couldn’t wait to hear the next twist in the story. Thought the narrator did a great job. Captured the characters personalities. Have recommended this audiobook to friends. Would make a good movie too.

The motivations of the characters was a little fuzzy for me. I had to re-listen to the last 3 hours of the book twice in order to really figure out what happened and I'm still not sure I get it. The character perspectives change with the chapters and there's never any sense of who the characters truly are and why they are motivated as they are... other than generic "motivated by money" or "motivated by jealousy." The anxiety of the protagonist reads more as paranoia than anything else and I had a hard time engaging with her, or routing for her success. For a thriller, it's entry-level good.

Wow! What a book! Suspenseful and psychologically twisted! I couldn’t stop listening to this book! The use of two narrators really sets the scene perfectly. Highly recommended.

Really good story. Twists and turns. I enjoyed the back and forth and thought the tone of the narration of Dr Shields character, although many criticized, was done deliberately and helped the story so well. I could have used a little more mystery but I really enjoyed listening to this book!

Entertaining but I agree with some of the other posts the doctors narration is annoying and there is something about the story that I just didn’t take to. I think it’s overly long and drawn out and not a particularly interesting story once all is revealed.

The storyline was riveting and suspenseful. The narration perfectly constructs the psychological portraits of each character. The even keeled, deliberate, and disassociated tone of Dr. Shields' character was a chilling contrast to that of Jenn. Dr. Shields is always presented to the reader in present tense, through which she becomes chilling and intimidating. While a wonderfully suspenseful thriller, the book forces the reader to think carefully into a number of pointed moral questions.

I loved “The Wife Between Us” so I thought I’d love “the Anonymous Girl” however, not so much. It is so hard to follow and it’s way to hard to try to figure out who is narrating from chapter to chapter, the narrator or the one who the story is about. Not quite halfway through and I couldn’t get into it.

I really liked the book. The changes and what you learn throughout the book are great. The narrator of dr. Shields is a little irritating, but it fits with the character, I think.

This book starts out very slow, but keep going and it will be interesting. It's a little confusing at times, and I felt like they glossed over the end. But it's an easy read!

I thought the book was extremely slow paced and incredibly predictable. It took forever to get going, but even wants the story got mildly interesting, I could’ve walked away at any time and not thought twice about it.

I didn't know where the plot was going at the beginning, so I almost gave up on the book. About a quarter of the way through the book you are finally let in on the plot. After that it kept my interest pretty well. The author did a good job writing the events from the view of the two main characters. There are two narrators too, which added to the enjoyment, since the two characters were so different. I will definitely try more books by this author! The only negative is that some of the misdirection by the author was a bit obvious, but that only took a little from the overall story.

The book was good! Kept me guessing quite a bit. What I really liked was the narrator changing her voice for each character. The book is written in such a way that it would have been difficult to follow without that.

Basic plot, hard to believe characters, but I especially hated the narration. So forced when it came to the male voices and the psychiatrist. I can't believe this book has so many good ratings.

I really enjoyed this book. The duo narrating made for an interesting perspective from both of the main characters. I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. The overall storyline grabbed my attention immediately (which does not always happen). Although the ending I could have predicted early on, no dramatic twist like the summary/reviews claimed. Both narrator’s voices went along with my mental picture of what the characters should sound like. My overall thoughts...yes I would recommend this book.
