This was not my favorite by this duo (and I've read them all!). The women felt too one dimensional to me. And mostly that meant they were b*tches. But it was still twisty and interesting, so I'll keep coming back for more!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin Press for the ARC of this book in exchange for a honest review.

This is the third book by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen I’ve read and it is by far my favorite one. In their past books I always felt you knew what the twist was going to be and when it was going to happen but this book was a complete surprise. I don’t want to give too much away but in this book if it seems too good to be true it probably is.

The book only took me 3 days to read but only because I had to go to work. This is one of those books that sucks you in right from the beginning and you’ll struggle to put it down.

Looking forward to the next Hendricks/Pekkanen collaboration!

I had that unsettled, on edge feeling throughout the whole book. Even before I understood there was a reason to feel that way. This is told from multiple views and in three parts. It starts on Shay, though. She's kind of lonely, and definitely obsessed with statistics, in between jobs and feeling out of place with her roommate situation. She's kind of easy pickings to be messed with. I won't say more to not give anything away.

I've enjoyed every book I've read by these two authors. You are Not Alone might be my favorite. The build up of suspense, not to mention the surprises and reveals, and the way it's put together? This is just what I was looking for.

This is the third book of Sarah and Greer's that I have read so I went in with high expectations, having loved both the first two books. The plot definitely intrigued me and I found myself trying to read faster and faster to figure out what was going to happen next. They did a great job of building suspense as small clues were revealed to the reader. Overall it was a solid read and kept my interest but it just didn't live up to the previous two novels for me.

You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen is a psychological thriller about Shay, a 30-something that is having a tough go at it. She’s lost her job, has a crush on her roommate but he’s dating someone else, her best friend is busy with her new family, and she’s about to loose her apartment too. She’s in the wrong place at the wrong time and witnesses the suicide of Amanda in a train station. Enter Jane and Cassandra, 2 beautiful sisters that seem to have it all - looks, money, friends, great jobs, success all around. Shay wants to be a part of their inner circle. You better watch out for what you wish for, Shay!
For me this book started out great, I found the first half to be nearly impossible to put down, a true page turner. But it did slow down drastically. It became a little cluttered with too many characters to track in different timelines and got a little confusing. The end did pick up a bit and while most of the pieces came together I am still trying to piece together one of the connections. I did love this duo’s first book, The Wife Between Us, so I was excited to read this one too. Ultimately I would say it was an average good read but I was hoping for a little more.

⭐️ 3.5/5 - rounded up

Wow! Another home run by Hendricks and Pekkanen. I thought their first two books were phenomenal, but I think this book is even better. Shay is a lonely young woman with an unrequited crush on her handsome roommate. She is having a difficult time in life as she’s lost her full time job and is working at a temp service and is growing apart from her best friend who has recently had a baby. When Shay witnesses a woman commit suicide in the subway station, she becomes somewhat obsessed trying to find the answers why a beautiful young woman would end her own life. As she probes deeper into the dead woman’s life and meets her circle of friends she find herself in eminent danger. With more twists and turns than you can imagine this book is a top rate thriller. Highly recommend.

Shay is already in a bad place: lonely, unhappy, looking for a job and then to add to her woes, she witnesses a suicide -- but oddly the dead woman's friends give her friendship and help her with a home and job and everything seems to be looking up. Of course when things seem too good to be true...This started out very intriguing but then got a little too far-fetched for me.

Shay Miller has lost her job; she shares an apartment with the man she loves and his girlfriend; her closest friend is busy with a new baby, and she witnesses a subway suicide. Unable to dismiss this vision, she becomes obsessed with Amanda, the woman who threw herself in front of the train. She lies her way into the memorial and meets friends of the deceased. These women take her under their wing and Shay finds herself with new friends, a new job and a better living situation. Following their fashion advice, she realizes she is starting to resemble Amanda. Are these friends sincerely helping her or are their motives more sinister? Once again Hendricks and Pekannen have given us a fast-paced plot with multiple twists and turns. I so enjoy their novels!

A charismatic, vindictive pack of wolves, I mean women try to take justice in their own hands when things turn sour in their socialite group.

Without giving too much away, these women prey on Shay, a girl who’s life has pretty much recently gone to hell, not realizing that Shay’s niche is statistics, which makes her a pretty damn good problem solver.

This story is dark, twisted and kind of a cat and mouse game between these women. Is Shay as mentally unstable as the pack makes her out to be or are these women just going above and beyond to keep a secret? If you loved Anonymous Girl and The Wife Between Us, you will love this. Promise! 4 💫

Thank you @netgalley for my free ARC for my honest review. I highly recommend this one!

Have you ever read a book that kept you so captivated and on the edge of your seat that you just had to go share it with everyone you know just so you could talk about it with someone else? Well, “You Are Not Alone” is that next book for you.
Shay Miller is on her way to a job interview in New York City when she watches a stranger jump in front of an oncoming subway train. Fascinated and a little obsessed with statistics, Shay begins tracing the steps of the stranger, Amanda, to try and make sense of what she saw happen. What she finds instead is an alarming number of similarities between the lifestyle that she lives, and the one Amanda was living, and it only sends her head further spinning.
When she shows up at Amanda’s funeral service she is approached by Cassandra and Jane Moore, friends of Amanda. They immediately welcome Shay into their lives, and Shay is completely intrigued and more than captivated by them. The Moore sisters are everything Shay never has been. They’re beautiful in an intimidating way and Shay finds herself drawn to every aspect of who they are. This works out conveniently for the Moore sisters because they need Shay closer than ever and she practically runs into the palms of their hands.
Unfortunately, I can’t say anything more without giving away all of the best twisty parts of the plot. Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen are masters at creating those stories that leave you guessing until the very last sentence of a book, and “You Are Not Alone” is no exception. Don’t just take my word for it, read this one yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

Loneliness .... the universal emotion we all detest and avoid at all cost .... it's presence can lead to an all consuming feeling of dread and depression. We all seek to be befriended and beloved. This is the set-up for this riveting page-turner psychological thriller. Shay Miller is a rather nondescript , almost invisible 30 something woman doing "temp work" in lieu of a full time gig in data analysis. ... all the while plagued by a feeling of loneliness. Her world has always been guided and influenced by statistical occurrences that she dutifully records in her "Data Book" - a sort of diary that guides her thinking process and outlook on life. Her mundane life comes to a screeching halt when she observes an apparent suicide in the subway. A young woman wearing a green polka-dot dress inexplicably jumps to her death in front of the subway train. Shay is inexorably drawn into learning more about the "victim" Amanda..... even attending her memorial service. Suddenly she finds herself entwined in the lives of Amanda's friends. ... a coven of 6 women , lead by the sisters, Cassandra and Jane Moore. Her fortune in life is miraculously altered. New job opportunities accompany improvements in housing arrangements and even a makeover involving face, body and dress. Suddenly she is mistaken for Amanda in appearance.
Hendricks and Pekkanen weave a masterful and twisted narrative that jerks back and forth in time between Shay and the various members of the group - including glimpses into their individual pasts that provide insights to their subsequent behavior and actions. Shay is highly inquisitive and overly analytical . Her curiosity and determination is evidenced in her unrelenting attempt to make sense out of the seemingly disparate facts that are placing her in a dangerous situation.. She continues to probe into the life of Amanda.
This convoluted and unpredictable plot is brimming with misdirection, deceit and faulty perceptions that propel the action forward.. Shay starts to piece together the multitude of convenient and coincidental events that actually appear orchestrated ... but, by who and why? Is she being set-up? What is the binding thread in the formation of this group of women? Is the purpose friendship ... love ...or perhaps, something more nefarious.
Thanks to NetGalley and St. Matin's Press for providing an electronic Proof of this gem in exchange for an honest review. Hopefully there will be many more outings for Hendricks and Pekkanen duo!!

Wow! This was my first read from Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, and I have to say, it won't be my last. I was pulled into the book almost immediately and it didn't disappoint. I felt like I was on the edge of my seat and I spent several late nights reading when I should have gone to sleep. Like all good books, it leads where you do not expect it and it leaves you wanting more. Would definitely recommend!

Cassandra and Jane are stunning, charming, smart and wickedly manipulative of anyone who gets in their way. Their business is PR (naturally) but their side jam is revenge - and justice, particularly for women.

Shay was in the wrong place at the wrong time. And she was too inquisitive, too smart. She saw Amanda jump in front of the subway and it haunted her. Who wouldn't want to find out about this woman, especially when your own life is sort of dull? A mystery is a great way to take your mind off your own life's limitations. But as smart as she is, she still falls prey to the warm glow of beautiful friends.

When the 3 women cross paths, their fates are forever changed.

These 2 authors are amazing. I have read their other work as co-authors and absolutely loved it. But this is just a tremendous achievement. I love how they don't put women into categories. They are full formed characters - some bad, some good, most in-between. No man comes in to save the day, nor are men the only ones who can be villains.

A fast-paced page-turner which is the best kind of thriller. Loved every page! Of all the books I have had a chance to read through Netgalley, this is one of the best and one I totally jumped at when it was available.

Obsession, greed, and revenge. What could go wrong? The latest book from Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen is a true psychological thriller. Shay Miller is a girl who's used to blending in to the background. She's obsessed with statistics and keeps a journal with her at all times to record observations and bits of everyday research. She's plodding along and her life is not quite where she'd like it to be, when she suddenly witnesses a horrible accident that changes the course of her life. She's led to two glamours and successful sisters, Cassandra and Jane, and things change pretty dramatically.

That's all I'm going to leave you with. The blurbs for this one are intentionally vague- for good reason! Go in with as little knowledge as possible and I promise you'll be sucked right in. I never quite knew who to trust and which way things were going to go- I loved the turns this took and was pulling for our lead, Shay. This is up there with my other favorite thrillers- love this dynamic writing duo!

Not my favorite by these authors, but definitely worth reading! I have to admit it took me a while to become absorbed in this one. I am used to their use of alternating narrators, but in the beginning i felt so overwhelmed trying to keep track of all the women from chapter to chapter! I'm glad I stuck it out because once I was finally hooked there was no turning back. I don't want to say anything about the plot because I feel like this one should be gone into blind :)

**THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS**

The story is told in alternating points of view which was a little confusing at first as you were introduced to characters and trying to keep them straight. Once you did, it moved the story line forward with different perspectives which added more to the plot line. Each woman seems to have a secret and they seem to bind the five women together as 'friends'.
I struggled with Shay's character. Her yearning to fit in seemed juvenile for someone in their early 30's. She overlooked so many things that should have a little disconcerting about Cassandra and Jane. There aren't that many coincidences, she needs to find a new place to live, and they just happen to have a friend that needs someone to house sit for them, they're at the subway stop with an umbrella at the exact time she has a breakdown in the rain.
Overall the story grabbed my attention, kept me interested and while I knew the sisters were not who they portrayed, the twist in the last few chapters, was a surprise. it was a good read and worth picking up, I'm not sure I'd rearranged my TBR pile for it though.

I received this ARC of You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks, Sarah Pekkanen from Netgalley in return for my honest opinion. Shay’s life is going nowhere when she sees a woman throw herself in front of a subway train in NYC.As a result, Shay becomes embroiled in some new relationships, and opportunities. But all is not what it seems. This was a page turner from the first chapter right to the end with twists and turns I didn’t expect. Well worth reading. .

The things I didn’t like— The main character is supposed to be very smart but I find it odd that she didn’t have a clue or pick up on obvious things throughout. As soon as she’d start to smarten up, she’d toss the thought away. A little too convenient. I also had a hard time keeping up with the characters because there were so many. It was hard to keep the minor ones straight.

It did keep me interested throughout. I had to know how it all played out. The why, the who, the how, the what. I did enjoy this one more than The Wife Between Us. Probably because I didn’t quite figure it out. TWBU I had pegged early on, but this one had me guessing some. I wouldn’t say it’s twisty or things pop out at you, no big reveal but it felt almost like a race to the finish line. I liked it. I’ll say it was a solid read.

I also thought there was going to something more with the main character. I expected more of a twist there

If you’ve never read a Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, you are missing out. Much like their other books, this one was just as good. From the very first few pages, I was captivated. The twists and turns in the plot are plentiful and it definitely keeps you on your toes. Unfortunately, there is very little I can talk about without ruining a piece of the book. There are land mines of deception in this book. Let me just say Shay Miller witnesses a girl commit suicide on a NY subway and her life spirals out of control.
-
This book was fast paced, intriguing, and full of so much mystery, it was hard to put down. If you’re new to these authors, this is a great book to start with. The only reason I am giving the book 4 stars is because the ending felt too rushed. I was 97% of the way through the book and didn’t think there was any way it could wrap everything up that quickly, but it did. But the ending, let me say I did not see it coming! Overall, this is a page turner-and you have to read it!

You Are Not Alone is the third book I’ve read by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. It focuses on a woman named Shay living in New York City who witnessed a suicide in the subway. Shay quickly becomes entangled with a group of women who knew the deceased woman, and seem to offer her the friendships she’s been yearning for during a lonely period in her life.

You Are Not Alone had an interesting plot, and there were times when I couldn’t put it down because I needed to know what happened next. I had some difficulty keeping all of the characters straight in my mind, and some parts of the book felt unnecessary or repetitive which slowed down the pacing some for me. I really enjoyed the other two books by this duo, so I’m sure my expectations were rather high going into this book. I look forward to seeing what they come up with next!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
