An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks, Sarah Pekkanen

I was really excited to read the second book by this author duo but I was left a little disappointed.
The substance of the story was interesting enough. A therapist finds an anonymous girl to participate in a morality study. The book definitely was an examination of morality, and the reader has to draw their own conclusions about right and wrong.
Though I liked the idea of the plot, I was bored during the first half. I like unpredictability, but the first half wasn’t exactly page-turning. There wasn’t enough action in the beginning to keep me picking it up, which is why it took me so long to finish.
The therapist viewpoint chapters were quite bland. A lot of her chapters contained passive language that didn’t hold my interest. I did enjoy that the writing style was different between the therapist and Jess, but not enough to be absorbed in the therapist chapters.
Though I was bored in the beginning, I became invested around chapter 35. That’s when stuff started happening that kept me interested. I still didn’t enjoy the therapist chapters, though. I really thing if the writing style in those was different, I would have enjoyed the whole book more.
