There was the best friend that I loved at first and then hated and then loved again by the end of the book. It had characters I alternated between loving and hating. Then there’s the mystery of how she got from then to now. I thought this was done well to add more suspense to an already excellent story. We follow her as she tells us her story in alternating chapters of now and then. As someone who grew up in New England, I liked that the small town northern setting was there even if no actual places were named. It takes place in ‘Suburb City/Town, New England State’ which is not a real place, but I thought it was a really interesting way to keep the story focused completely on Jane and her experiences. I really liked the ‘anonymous’ aspect of the story. We get invested in everything the way she does, and our whole world is rocked when we learn certain bits of information. I thought this was brilliant because we feel what she’s feeling. She is writing everything down as a way to work through what she experienced. I really liked the way this story was told. I was sucked into this story, chewed up, and spit out in the final pages. I was crying within the first ten percent of this book, which might not say much because I cry at the drop of a hat since having a baby, but still. Then I read the prologue and I literally couldn’t put this book down until I finished it. Jane Anonymous had me hooked from the moment I read the synopsis. Thanks so much to NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. But, what if everything you thought you knew―everything you thought you experienced―turned out to be a lie? Three months of being that girl who was kidnapped, the girl who was held by a “monster.” Three months of writing down everything she remembered from those seven months locked up in that stark white room. Now, it’s been three months since “Jane” escaped captivity and returned home. She never would’ve imagined that in her town where nothing ever happens, a series of small coincidences would lead to a devastating turn of events that would forever change her life.
She had a part-time job she enjoyed, an awesome best friend, overbearing but loving parents, and a crush on a boy who was taking her to see her favorite band. Then, “Jane” was just your typical 17-year-old in a typical New England suburb getting ready to start her senior year.
