"I preordered this book because I previously read The Wife Between Us by the same authors. The aforementioned novel had a twist that caught me completely by surprise, which doesn’t happen for me very often (I’m generally able to sniff out whodunnit and I’m usually able to see a plot twist a mile away). With that, I was excited to see what else Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen could come up with in terms of original storytelling. I read this book in a day and a half; it only took me that long because of pesky things like my job and familial obligations.
I’ll admit that I was super vigilant in my reading because I didn’t think there was any way the authors could take me by surprise a second time (fool me once and all that jazz). By 20% of the way through the novel (by my Kindle count), I thought I had figured out a motive for the doctor. And though I was right to an extent, the story made her intentions clear at 25%, which led to Part Two and also let me know that it wasn’t intended to be some big twist, per se. There was never a huge twist that caught me by surprise, but there were lots of little things that added up to big deception. I hope Greer and Sarah will give us more stories in the future.
This book kind of makes me think of Single White Female (if Jane Fonda had intentionally been trying to get Jennifer Jason Leigh to copy her), Misery (Dr. Shields is the type that would know the penguin faces due north), with a bit of The Truman Show (Jess knows she’s part of a study, but she becomes unsure if scenarios start to be created for her reactions). It’s been awhile since I was this engrossed in a novel. It’s the pacing, the swapping in perspectives, and the combined elements of intrigue and potential danger that made it a gripping read for me. The cat-and-mouse element is unmistakable, but Jess is no ordinary mouse."

- How Would YOU Respond if Your Ethics Were Questioned? Here’s a Frightening Example…
It is nearly impossible to describe this book without revealing essential pieces of the plot, key elements that will be much more exciting if you are allowed to discover them on your own. It will be far easier to explain, if you are a lover of suspense/thriller talfes, why you must read this book.
The story is told in first person present. I am not normally a fan of this POV and tense, but in this story, the choices work. What makes it special is that there are two narrators, swapping back and forth, chapter to chapter. Even though the POV puts us inside each narrator’s head, everything is not always revealed to the reader. Instead, it is portioned out in slow measure, driving the suspense higher as you progress further into the book. Even right up to the end, the true motives of all the characters are not fully revealed, which enables the authors to weave feelings of danger throughout the pages, leaving us to wonder if the heroine will survive until the end.
The writing is impeccable, and there are no plot holes that could have damaged the integrity of the story. Even with all her faults, the main protagonist Jessica is likeable, and I soon found myself identifying with her questions and fears. Once I began reading it was hard to stop, and most of the book was completed in one sitting.
Bottom line This is a tight, psychological suspense story that will periodically have you on the edge of your seat. The scariness is primarily generated by the fears (perceived and real) in Jessica’s mind, aided by the information from the second narrator. The story also examines morality and ethics, as “What would you do if…†questions quickly merge with a frightening reality. Can’t recommend this one enough. Five stars. - I loved the other book by this author, it was one of my favorites, but this one...it was so boring, I had to force myself to finish it. I feel like nothing happened! The psychiatrist (psychologist?) Dr. Fields in the book was a very one dimensional shallow character (the writing was stilted and it was almost like she was a robot). The other narrator, Jessica wasn't likable at all (another one dimensional character). The idea was good (a stalker type doctor) but she wasn't even as crazy as she could have been. Honestly, I can't even remember what the BIG twist was at the end. Very boring.
- I am trying to come up with three words that will best describe this book. If I really had to choose, it would be creepy, haunting, and disturbing.
Creepy. This whole book gave me the creeps. From the morality test, to Dr. Shields, to the plot. It all gave off a creepy vibe. More than once during this book, my skin crawled. I felt like I, too, was being tested. Am I sane? Am I moral? How far would I go to find the truth?
Haunting. Again, Dr. Shields. That woman is one messed up woman. I wasn't sure if she was genius or evil. I am still not so sure. Her character definitely would give any person nightmares if she existed in real life.
Disturbing. You guessed it. Dr. Shields. Are you seeing a trend? I just can't get over her. Her willingness to go as far as she does is highly disturbing. If I am honest, the whole book is disturbing. I am sure there are individuals like her in the world, and that scares the crap out of me.
This book is twisted, have no doubts. Did it shock me? Not really. However, that is not to say it won't shock many. I read so many of these kinds of books, it seems to be hard to shock me these days. I will say, the first half of the book is slow. I almost gave up. But I kept it moving, and it really picked up in the second half. It was worth it.
Now after reading two books by this new writing duo, I am looking forward to what they will bring us next.  - I preordered this book because I previously read The Wife Between Us by the same authors. The aforementioned novel had a twist that caught me completely by surprise, which doesn’t happen for me very often (I’m generally able to sniff out whodunnit and I’m usually able to see a plot twist a mile away). With that, I was excited to see what else Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen could come up with in terms of original storytelling. I read this book in a day and a half; it only took me that long because of pesky things like my job and familial obligations.

It’s been awhile since I was this engrossed in a novel. It’s the pacing, the swapping in perspectives, and the combined elements of intrigue and potential danger that made it a gripping read for me. The cat-and-mouse element is unmistakable, but Jess is no ordinary mouse. - I have finally made it to Chapter 29. Page 156. It has taken me forever to get this far. Normally, I devour books and read a couple a week. I can barely read five pages a night. The only reason I’m not giving up is because I paid for it in hardback and I am stubborn when I have spent that amount of money. . It is incredibly boring. So far there is zero point to this book. I don’t know where it’s going and I don’t care. I have no idea why there are so many great reviews. No idea!
