Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen have DONE IT AGAIN! this is not only their third book, but the third book that I have given FIVE/FIVE stars to!

After Shay witnesses a woman commit suicide on the subway one morning, she is haunted by the woman and the split second of eye contact they shared right before she jumped. In the weeks following, Shay becomes obsessed with the woman, Amanda's, life. She infiltrates her friends, she meets her family, she finds her old apartment, the exercise classes she once attended. As Shay starts to replicate this strange woman's life and even her image, she starts to realize maybe she's walked right into a trap she laid for herself.

Intrigued yet? Like their previous novels, this thriller is laid onto the backdrop of a busy NYC. I love this scene because it makes it so believable that anyone could just hide into a crowd and you never know who could be watching, or following you. In addition to the great scene setting, I loved the characters and their development. I found myself wanting to scream and yell at Shay like I was watching a horror movie. It made the events of the thriller believable and I was sucked in to what would happen next!

thank you Netgalley for my advanced copy!!! OUT MARCH 3RD!!!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Publishing Group for the ARC of this book. I was hooked from the first chapter and didn’t want to put it down. It is written in short chapters that switch POV and keep the reader so involved and wanting to know what happens next! I kept trying to put all of the pieces together as they would unfold only to have another twist and turn in the story! This was full of suspense very interesting characters! I would definitely recommend it!

Everyone wants to have friends...but sometimes they just aren't worth it.
Shay Miller loves numbers and statistics. She lives a pretty normal and bland life. That is, until she witnesses a suicide. In that instant Shay's life changes drastically.
The Moore Sisters seem to have it all...the IT job, the IT lifestyle, the IT friends... The people you would do anything for to get into their inner circle.
All to quickly Shay gets caught up in it all. A little TOO caught up in it all.

This is fast-paced novel that delivers the twists and turns you expect for this author duo. Another great read from Hendricks and Pekkanen. Easy to recommend to readers of thrillers.

Wow! This book was completely different from what I was expecting and it was amazing. The plot took turns I wasn't anticipating and each character felt real and their actions genuine to their development. Their writing style is perfect for this multi perspective book that flashes between past and present. I would highly recommend this book!

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for an ARC of this book.

I was excited to read this as I have already read a couple books by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. I was not disappointed.

I was hooked from the first page. I loved the short, fast paced chapters. I had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. I liked that we had multiple different POV. The characters were well developed. The story line was intense.

I can’t wait until their next book comes out!

You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen is diabolical. Twist after twist keeps you gasping for breath. This is my first read from this duo but I hope it will not be my last.

Remember the adage “if it seems too good to be true, it is”? Well the friendship of the Moore sisters is just that. What seems to be a blessing to Shay Mitchell turns out to be a curse. Shay is sad and lonely when then she witnessess a suicide. She is intrigued and starts to become attached to the victim and her life. But then, the victim’s life becomes interested in her and Shay’s life starts to unravel.

With friends like the Moore sisters and their circle, Shay has no need of enemies. As the police investigate Shay’s connection the suicide, Shay begins to investigate a possible murder. Soon, the two investigations collide and all the dots are connected to reveal a truly Machiavellian plot.

Kudos to Hendricks & Pekkanen on a truly intriguing novel. And thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Shay Miller is a statistician who lives in New York City where she shares an apartment with her male friend with whom she is secretly in love. Shay has just lost her job due to a company downsizing. To make matters worse her male roommate now has a girlfriend who has also moved into the apartment that Shay shares with him.

Shay is waiting in the subway for the train that will take her to her temp job. While she is awaiting the arrival of her train, Shay’s despair and loneliness get exponentially worse when she witnesses a woman commit suicide as she jumps to her death on the subway tracks in front of the arriving train.

It isn’t long after this indecent that Shay’s life begins to change for the better when she meets the Moore sisters, Cassandra and Jane. The beautiful and very successful sisters bring her into their circle of friends, help her get established in a new apartment, and assist her is getting a new job. Life is looking better and better as Shay now feels more confident and capable of facing all of life’s challenges. She soon begins to question whether her good fortune is coincidental or planned, for as quickly as her life improves it begins spiraling rapidly downward. And she wonders whether or not she will be able to find a way to break her fall before she hits bottom?

The Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen team scores again with another twisted psychological thriller. The plot flows very effortlessly from one writer to the other with no recognizable difference between their narrative styles. The statistical notes at the beginning of every chapter add interest and authenticity to the story as they complement Shay’s characterization. And their expertise at pacing the revelations in the story come at just the right moments to hold reader interest.

Chapters alternate between several of the characters and expose the story with several different points of view. This methodology allows the reader to more easily embrace how Shay is deceived and brainwashed by the Moore sisters and their friends. The story is written so realistically that it is disturbing to think that this could very easily happen to someone in Shay’s position.

The book covers many topics. Some of the covered themes are revenge, friendships, depression and loneliness, rape, and suicide. Therefore, overall, it is not a feel good book about happy things. The authors incorporate these themes into en entertaining but dark book with unexpected twists and devious characters. I recommend that you put this title on your list of books to read. And if you haven’t already read these two author’s previous books, you may want to get a copy of those as well.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of the ebook from which this review has been written.

The authors have done it again. This will be another bestseller. I have read the other two books by these authors and this one is very similar. The wife between us was my favorite, but this is a quick, lite read that I'm sure will have a long holds list in my library.

What a thrilling ride! The authors have written another fabulous novel with an unexpected twisted that most mystery enthusiasts will not see coming. While I wanted to knock some sense into Shay throughout the story, I also felt very connected to her and wanted to see her suspicions play out. Overall, a great read to cozy up to on a snowy day.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing me with a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Up to date, I have thoroughly enjoyed books written by Hendricks and Pekkanen! I was tickled to get the opportunity to get an early copy of this new novel.

Shay Miller is just your average New Yorker trying to make it in the big city whose life is currently in a slump. She was downsized from a job she loved and has settled on a temp job to keep her afloat. Shay also had to move in with her best friend, that she is secretly in love with but has a girlfriend. Life is about living day to day to get back on her feet, until she witnesses a girl commit suicide by jumping in front of an oncoming subway train.

Being the world of data mining and finding information, she seeks out information on the girl that died while struggling to recover internally from what she saw. She quickly became friends with the dead girl’s group. It almost seems too good to be true how fast her life turns around after meeting the Moore sisters.

This book made me cringe, made me scratch my head, made me angry on Shay’s behalf…and I loved every minute of it. I also loved the bits of data and trivial information supplied from Shay’s data book throughout the book.

Was the ending predictable? Yeah…probably for most. But it’s how all the story unfolds that kept me hooked. Definitely recommend the read.

Expected Publication Date: March 3, 2020

I read this book with great anticipation but I think this is my least favorite from Greer Hendricks. I really enjoyed the book and the suspense it holds. Having said that I thought there were too many characters with back stories to try to keep straight. Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

The only reason I took a star away is because this book was very slow to get started. Other than that I have nothing but glowing reviews. I have read the first book from these two authors and have the second one in my TBR stack. I love the way that they tell a story from multiple perspectives but still are able to weave the story together. And then when you think you have something figured out they peel another layer back and give you a twist. I can definitely see their books being made into movies!!!

Shay is a bit of a loner who just doesn't quite fit in, so when she witnesses a suicide, she becomes obsessed with the woman's death. Little does she know that her life, already a bit in shambles, is about to get worse. Enter the Moore sisters, they seem perfect to Shay, and she liked having a pair of sophisticated friends who do so much for her. But she'll soon see that their kindness doesn't come free.

I've read the duo's other two books and absolutely adored them, so of course, I jumped at the chance to read this as well, and they did not disappoint. There is only so much I can say about the book without spoiling it, so I'm going to do a bit of gushing and not much else. There is an air of mystery here, what seems to be going on isn't quite what Shay perceives it to be. The plot is slowly revealed to us over time to piece together a fantastic story of the lengths some people will go to, to delude themselves into thinking that what they're doing is the right thing. And of course, I need to mention the length at which Shay keeps herself oblivious to something that is clearly too good to be true.

A fantastic plot that keeps you flipping pages, desperate to piece everything together and find out what's really at play. Forcing myself to put this down to go to bed was a near Herculean task. Another home run from St. Martin's, thank you for sending this one along!

A lonely young woman who is feeling a bit lost in the world, gets traumatized while witnessing a woman throwing herself in front of a train.
The horror of the suicide effects the woman deeply and she starts wanting to know more about the womans life and eventually makes friends with the dead womans friends. She begins to learn maybe their friendship isnt all that it appears to be.
I have always enjoyed these two authors books. And while I did enjoy reading this book, I did find it unbelievable and it dragged a bit towards the middle but picked up again.
I wanted to give this 3 1/2 stars. It was better than average but not their best I've read in the past.
Thanks to St Martin and Netgalley for the advanced copy for my honest review.

Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen have written another winning psychological thriller. It's hard to described without giving anything away, so just read the blurb description for the book to get the storyline. The book is well written and the plot is an intricate web. Unfortunately I found this particular plot too unbelievable and I didn't like any of the characters very much - nothing really grabbed me. Still something made me keep reading until the end to see what happened with Shay.

I've really enjoyed the previous books by Hendricks and Pekkanen and this was wasn't bad - it just didn't catch me as much as the others. I will still keep reading their books!

Thanks to St. Martin's Press through Netgalley for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free, eARC of this novel received in exchange for an honest review.

I have previously read one book from this author duo (An Anonymous Girl) and liked it well enough to request an ARC of their newest collab. You Are Not Alone follows Shay, a lonely 30-something working as temp who, when witnessing a woman's suicide via subway, cannot stop thinking about it. We are also following sisters Cassandra and Jane, friends of the deceased who are clearly up to something.

I thought this book started out pretty strong and I really enjoyed the first half. I liked not exactly knowing what was going on with Cassandra and Jane and what the endgame was for their bringing Shay into the fold. I also liked the little vignettes about the other girls in their inner circle and how they became friends. However, I felt like the last half started to really drag for me and the reveals at the end came out of absolutely nowhere (and I don't mean that in a good way - I even went back to make sure I hadn't missed something but nope) and felt cheap. I ended up settling on a 3 star rating because I did enjoy the overall plot and the first half.

one would not know too much about the story as it might give away too much...
as always, when these two ladies team up for a book, you have to be prepared for a roller-coaster of action and stories going on!
it was not my favorite read as i enjoyed "the wife between us" even more but non the less a very gripping story!

thank you very much #netgalley and #St. Martin's Press for my copy in exchange for an honest review

The book alternates between chapters from the POV of Shay Miller to the collective POV of sisters Cassandra and Jane Moore to POV chapters of other more minor characters.

Shay is a lonely woman who, while taking the subway one day, witnesses the suicide of a woman named Amanda. Shay is haunted by what she has witnessed and becomes slightly obsessed with learning about who Amanda was and who her friends were- particularly the Moore sisters. But she has no idea that their intentions may not be entirely benign.

The mystery of what the Moore sisters and their small, cultivated group of friends is up to is maintained (at least for me) through most of the book. The “twist” at the end was a little surprising, but not as shocking as I think it was probably supposed to be. Overall, this book was somewhere between “okay” and “I liked it.”

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the e-ARC.

I could truly relate to the heroine in this story. Being a loner with few friends made her the perfect “catch” for the girls controlling the drama. They did underestimate her tenacious nature of keeping notes and statistical data which turned out to be their downfall in the end. Thoroughly enjoyed this read. Thank you to NetGalley.

Hmm...Another book that left me with mixed feelings. Shay’s character is vulnerable and sometimes real, but she makes some crazy choices I couldn’t wrap my mind around. And the book had too many characters which made it difficult for me to keep track of all the backstories. It started off well enough, but I had to push through to get through it in the end.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.
