Before I begin my review of Author Anonymous, I want to make it clear that this book is not a love story but it is a story that will leave you feeling exposed. You will either hate or love it. Or if you are like me, you will be left shocked and at the same time angered by the heroine’s choices. It is easy for us to judge and say we wouldn’t do these things but if there is one thing we all need to realize we are all human. We are imperfect and in this case “this anonymous author” chose to have every thought, fantasy, mistake, lies, and betrayal be opened and exposed for readers to judge her.
Author Anonymous felt like I was reading some secret diary and Page Six gossip column. For the life of me, I was addicted and wanted to know every juicy detail. I cringed, judged, and despised the heroine but then again I tried to understand her. Did I like the heroine’s justification for cheating and all the lies? No.
This book can be summed up with one word.BOLD. E.K. Blair boldly told a story that will either be hated or loved by the book community. She made a true story come alive with her bold and stunning prose. Every detail, action, and raw emotions described was boldly told in the voice and style of E.K. Blair. She didn’t hold anything back as far as the readers are concerned. There was nothing she hid with the exception of the identity of the author. Blair literally held you hostage as you went down that proverbial rabbit hole where seduction, lies, betrayal, duplicity, vulnerability and passion laid bare. Regardless if you wanted to hate the heroine or not, E.K. Blair did her job. She consumed you not just with the juicy and scandalous story but she captured your complete undivided attention with her writing. So yes, this is an utterly addictive story that left with a bang! This is definitely a story that will be whispered, talked about and the echoes of gossip of wondering who this person is what makes this book stand out. I know this book will not be for everyone so I applaud EK Blair for taking a chance on writing a story that she felt had to be told.
Author Anonymous is a bold, riveting, heartbreaking and devastatingly raw story. This is not a love story. This is an imperfect story about an imperfect and duplicitous individual. This is her story. We can either love it, hate it or in my case experience this story alongside with E.K. Blair and fellow readers. So if you are ready to take a ride on this scandalous and shocking story, I have only one thing to tell you. Hold on tight!!!
