Review

I don’t know why I have been continually drawn to heavy reads that I usually stray away from. If you are looking for an enjoyable read, this one is not it. Bordering on uncomfortable, Jane Anonymous is not a read that is written for someone’s enjoyment. But, this book is one that can make a person see things from a different perspective.

Jane Anonymous talks about kidnapping, with the hope of understanding what a person goes through in these disappointing circumstances. Some parts of this read can be too graphic, but some were glazed over so things will not be too much.

Told in alternating settings of “Then” and “Now”, be ready for a rollercoaster of feelings that can be too much if you are a little weak on the emotion front, like me.

If you are looking to feel intense emotions, you are in for a treat. This book is a terrifying tale of survival, with slivers of hope in spite of all the darkness.
