Jess, a struggling make-up artist in New York, finds herself in a psychological study on ethical behavior in An Anonymous Girl. Nothing is as it seems from the beginning to the end of the book as Jess becomes more deeply involved with Dr. Shields, the study’s author.
The novel is engrossing and a quick read, but I wouldn’t describe it as an enjoyable read. The alternating first-person narrative is unreliable and sometimes awkward, and I was left with a definite sense of unease at the end of the novel. Do I recommend it? With reservations.
