From the internationally bestselling authors of The Wife Between Us comes this electrifying psychological thriller about truth, lies and deadly obsession . . .
When Jessica 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. But as the questions grow more and more invasive, she begins to feel as though they know what she’s thinking . . . and what she’s hiding.
As Jessica's paranoia grows, it becomes clear that she can no longer trust what is real in her life, and what is one of Dr Shields’s manipulative experiments. Caught in a web of deceit and jealousy, Jess quickly learns that some obsessions can be deadly.
Here's what readers are saying:

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
After reading this awesomely twisted thriller, you’ll think twice before responding to even the most innocent-seeming survey. Cosmetician Jess Farris agrees to anonymously answer a few questions for a psychology experiment in exchange for some extra cash. However, she soon realizes she may be a pawn in a deeply disturbing mind game. The genius of writing duo Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen’s novel lies in the authors’ skill for drawing you into their main character’s head. Jess is deeply relatable, struggling with her own ethical boundaries in a way that feels very current.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Struggling Manhattan makeup artist Jessica Farris impulsively decides to chase some quick cash by lying her way into an NYU psychiatrist's study of ethics and morality, no less in this slickly twisty psychological thriller from bestsellers Hendricks and Pekkanen (The Wife Between Us). Still shaky after a disturbing #MeToo encounter with a top theatrical producer that dashed her dream of doing stage makeup, the 28-year-old laps up the supportive attention from impossibly chic and self-confident Dr. Lydia Shields, whose second-person narrative alternates with Jessica's first person. So when the therapist starts to enlist her in increasingly dicey real-life role-playing assignments, including trying to pick up specific targets, such as a stranger in a hotel bar, Jess pushes aside her doubts and goes along until she hears some information too alarming to ignore about the fate of Dr. Shields's previous prot g . The page-turner's second half whizzes along at a furious pace, exploiting the dual perspectives for maximum tension. Though some of the gasp-worthy final twists require substantial character flip-flops, it's a relatively minor sacrifice for major league suspense.
