Great story line. It was a fast read for me and I really liked the plot and the twists. I didn't find myself loving any characters or maybe I just didn't find a lot of depth to them, however it really didn't take away from the story and I really did enjoy the book.

This was a good read. Solid but not amazing. Going back over the synopsis, I wish it was rewritten. I don't think it really covers what this book is about. It sounds like they want to switch lives where that's not the case at all. However, it was enjoyable and I would recommend it. I did enjoy the quirkiness of Shay and her statistics - it also foreshadows that chapter.

4 Sinister Stars!!

The third book from my favorite duo did not disappoint! Captivating, entertaining, and deliciously sinister. I loved the writing style and the short chapters. There were many characters to follow, but it was not as overwhelming as I thought it would be. I did predict some things but I thought the ending was great, and I felt satisfied with how things unfolded at the end.

I am looking forward to the next book from this talented duo, and hopefully it will be as entertaining as their previous books.

Thank you NetGalley, St. Martin's Press, and both authors for providing me with an ARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I really enjoyed this! It was such a quick read that kept me on my toes and kept surprising me. I never saw that plot twist coming!

The writing duo of Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen have taken the genre of psychological thrillers to the next level in their newest novel,” You Are Not Alone.” Shay is a young woman who is going through difficulties with her living situation, her job prospects, and her social life when she witnesses a young woman jump in front of a subway train and die. The incident is traumatizing and Shay cannot seem to move past it. She delves into the woman’s background and finds herself embroiled into the young woman’s circle of friends who are not the people Shay believes they are. This book is full of twists and turns and it will keep you guessing until the end. These two remarkable author’s deserve a standing ovation. I was given an advanced copy of this book, and all of the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Shay Miller’s life is forever changed the day she sees a woman jump in front of a subway train. She becomes obsessed with finding out what would lead someone to such a horrific end! She decides to attend the woman, Amanda’s funeral. She becomes obsessed with Amanda’s life and begins hanging around with Amanda’s friends. The Moore sisters are everything that Shay is not. They are beautiful, sophisticated and successful and now they are showing Shay attention. Shay has no job, no boyfriend, 1 friend and she has just been told that she needs to move out of her place. Enter the Moore sisters to boost her confidence and help her with all the things that she doesn’t have. Shay can’t help but be captivated by them but what could they
possibly want with a simple girl like Shay?
It was a great book with some great twists that I definitely did not see coming. Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!

4.5 stars

Great thriller which had my mind working hard to figure out where the story was going, who was "good" and who was part of the overall twisted plan. It's hard to say much about the book without giving anything away, but this was a page-turner for me and I really enjoyed the story.

You are Not Alone will have you looking over your shoulder, staring suspiciously at people that try and befriend you .

Shay witnesses a suicide on the subway. She cant get past it , delves into the victims life.

Let the games begin.

THe Moore sisters are the ones befriending Shay. If you think its too good to be true , it usually is. Shay does not have a suspicious bone in her body. I shake my head.

That's all I will reveal. You have to read this one for yourself.

The pages fly by, no matter how much I told Shay dont be stupid, she did not listen.

Twists and turns will keep the light on for one more page, make that a chapter.

Thanks to NetGalley and St Martins Press for this wild read. It will stay with me for quite awhile.

Shai Miller lives in NY but her life is not ideal, she lives with a roommate she has an unreciprocated crush on and her career is a series of unstable, temp jobs.

All changes when she witnesses the suicided of a young woman in the subway, her name was Amanda. Shai becomes interested in knowing Amanda's background and starts learning about her life and friends.

This is where she becomes involved with Amanda's friends and her life changes for the better, or worse? I found the first half of the book difficult to get into because there were many characters and took me a bit to become familiar with each of them and not get them confused.

The second half of the book is when the plot picked up for me and was more entertaining. I enjoyed the book but did not love it, I've read the authors' previous novels and found them more engaging. Still, I recommend it to readers of thrillers and mysteries.

A 3+ rating from this reviewer.
Having enjoyed this duo’s work in the past, I looked forward to this, their newest, but unfortunately, I found it lacking a 4 or 5 star rating. It was still pretty good, creative for sure, and not run-of-the-mill.

This starts off convoluted, too many characters, all with back-stories of course, and various time frames. The jumping around seemed choppy and each time I picked it up, I had to go back a few chapters to refresh my memory of the character-of-the-chapter’s background. It didn’t flow easily. Also, none of the characters were likable except for the protagonist Shay, and her male roommate. Shay is obsessed with data, statistics to be exact, and each chapter is precluded with a statement of fact from her Data Journal. which I found interesting. She is going through a rough spot, unemployed and lonely. She is kind, empathetic and likable, and was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Shay witnesses what appears to be a suicide on a subway and it profoundly affects her. She is curious about the young woman. Curious enough to attend her memorial and learn more about the deceased, Amanda. As a result the decedent’s close group of female friends are curious about Shay as well. Little does Shay know about what they have in store for her.

The second half was much better than the first and ended up being suspenseful once Shay (and us readers) realizes what is happening and how she has been manipulated. The last few chapters flew by.

I encourage any potential readers to please make up your own mind. You may find it fascinating and worth the read, which it was, if you don’t mind concentrating from the beginning on who is who, and why they are where they are. This is doled out in small segments to the reader throughout the novel. All opinions are my own.

Release date 3/3/20
My thanks to all for the ARC

3.5 stars. I didn’t love this one. I loved the wife between us and enjoyed the anonymous girl but I was hoping for a bigger twist with this one! I felt like the book was almost too straightforward. Yes there was a twist I didn’t guess but it didn’t really matter all that much to the plot. I was very interested at the beginning but started to slowly become less invested and ultimately didn’t enjoy it as much as I hoped I would.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was such a FUN thriller, as opposed to some that can be very gruesome and depressing. This was not that. It had a lot of twists and I was left guessing until the very end at how everything would turn out. I’m also a sucker for books told from alternating perspectives, which this book had a lot of.

I’ve seen criticism of this book about the “boring” stats that start each chapter, and I could not disagree more. While I am a #mathnerd and so love statistics, I thought it was a fun little addition to each chapter, and helped build the identity of the main character. Also, for those griping, they were barely more than a paragraph long!

#favauthors Having read all of this author duo’s books, I do believe this one just became my favorite! And I liked all three. Must read for female thriller fans. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 / 5

I was so excited to read this book after An Anonymous Girl,, which was my favorite book of 2019, I just knew I would LOVE this one too! It took me a little while to figure out where the story was going, but once it got going, it was just as much of a page turner as the last. This is a fast and easy read. It has some dark themes such as suicide and rape, but the book doesn’t dig too deep into those parts of the story, at least for me it was ok. If you love thrillers, you’ll enjoy this one!
Thank you so much to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for this ARC, I can’t wait to read their next title!

This book was brillant! Shay witnesses a suicide and it's downhill from there! I love the Author's writing style in this book! The ending was fantastic! I can't wait to see what is next from the Authors!

You are not alone is the first book I’ve read from writing duo Greer and Pekkanen and wow, I absolutely loved it! Shay Miller is a lonely female in NYC who’s a bit down on her luck. She witnesses a woman committing suicide in a subway station and subsequently finds herself being drawn into the woman’s life. I couldn’t put this book down. It was fast paced and full of twists and turns. There was one point when I felt that some aspects were becoming a bit unbelievable but then the major twist completely threw me, I didn’t see it coming at all, and I felt that once that happened a lot of things fell into place. The book is told from multiple perspectives and while I really enjoyed this, my only criticism is that I felt there was perhaps too many secondary characters, as a couple of times I had to go back to check who was who. I was worried with only a few pages to go that I was going to be left with unanswered questions but that wasn’t the case and I really enjoyed how the loose ends all wrapped up. A fast paced, twisty, edge of your seat thriller that I would definitely recommend.

3.5/5 stars

This is the very first ARC that I’ve read and reviewed, and I requested it purely on the basis that I loved the first two books by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. I actually only skimmed the description as I was confident that I would enjoy the book either way.

And it turns out that I did enjoy this story. It was a fast and thrilling ride. However, compared to their first two books, especially The Wife Between Us, this one fell a little short for me. Unlike their earlier books, I found the twists in You Are Not Alone to be less shocking, though perhaps I was just expecting them so was more prepared. This time around, I missed the sensation of being metaphorically punched in the solar plexus when certain plot twists evolved.

I also found at first that it was difficult to distinguish some of the side characters. I love multiple POV narratives, and these two do it well, but I did find in the beginning that I mixed up a couple of the characters.

All in all, I would recommend this book to customers, though I would suggest they read this one first before the earlier two.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in return for a fair and honest review.

Wow! Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanan did it again! My mind is still reeling from all the data that Shay provides. The buildup and the twists and turns kept me guessing until the end when shock took over. This is another one that's hard to review for fear of giving anything away. If you've read anything else by this duo then you know how talented they are! If you haven't read anything yet, do yourself a favor and grab this one March 3, 2020!!

Whenever Greer and Sarah come out with another book, I put off reading it for weeks. I know once I start it'd going to be over the same day and I'm going to have to wait until the next one. This one was no exception. I loved the plot of this book and the characters were really exciting. As with their other books, there is plenty of suspense and mystery as the details slowly weave their way into the story. Great job ladies!

I've recieved ARCs of all three of Hendricks' and Pekkanen's books, and I have to say that although I did think this book was entertaining at times, "You Are Not Alone" is my least favorite of the three. The ending felt a bit rushed, and I was actually let down / disappointed by the few big twists towards the end. I thought the Moore sisters' plan was much more insidious, but really it wasn't anything too crazy, as I've come to expect from them after reading "An Anonymous Girl" and "The Wife Between Us." I also thought the mystery of the Moore sisters, what they really were a part of, and how they contributed to Amanda's suicide was stretched too long. I grew tired of waiting for answers and found my attention wavering.

The first 2/3 of You Are Not Alone was fairly slow for me. However, the last third really picked up and I enjoyed the ending and how everything tied together. Shay, the main character was really relatable and the chapters from her POV were my favorite. The statistics at the beginning of each chapter was clever. I was slightly confused between the side characters and their backstories. I'm not sure if the characters all felt the same, or maybe I didn't get enough of each character's POV to tell them apart. The explanation of why the Moore sisters are interested in Shay took too long to be revealed. If I knew a bit more before, or if there was another larger plot point that happened earlier on I would have been more taken with the story. This was my first book from Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. Although this wasn't a hit for me the writing was great and will pick up another by them.
