This novel gets at our contemporary FOMO and desire to be better than we are, part of a cooler group, seen, cared for, loved. The main character is likeable, and the book is well written. The final twist was unexpected and the tempo of the book moved quickly despite the back and forth point of view and temporal jumps. I enjoyed this well structured and gripping book
I have not read a book quite like this one before and I read a lot so it’s not the same oh same oh book. Insecurities, lies, betrayal, a killing and more. Told from the view point of Shay, who has endured one rejection after another. Cassandra and Jane who have a thriving marketing company. plus three of their friends from various backgrounds and how they all come together from a tragedy. This was a great read and shows growth of strength and determination to survive. I highly recommend this book! Thank you Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen and publishers St. Martins Press New York for allowing me to read this ARC I highly recommend this as an interesting read that keeps you interested. Plus you learn lots of facts on a lot of subjects since Shay is obsessed with data!
I loved this book, just as I loved their previous two! Just a heads up that if you don't like POV or time changes this book isn't for you. I am a fan of this style of writing and I also enjoy twisty ends which I felt this book had. My only real complaint was that the timeline in some of the chapters was off. I am sure it is a mistake that will be fixed before publication though. I was so grateful to receive this ARC and I highly recommend this to fans of psychological thrillers!
It’s hard to review a book like this without giving away any spoilers, so I’ll just say it was really, really good. There are a few plot twists that maybe are a bit far-fetched but the conclusion is completely a surprise. I read it all within a day and enjoyed every minute.

❤️- I loved the story line! I’m always down for a psychological thriller and these wonderful authors didn’t disappoint. It was an absolute page turner and seeing all the connections was fabulous! The small twists along the way helped make it even better!
🤷🏻♀️- I would’ve liked a little more closure on how the case was solved! The ending was a tad abrupt

Highly recommend for any lover of psychological thrillers!
The writing duo of Greer and Hendricks have done it again, delivering a pulse-pounding story, leaving me breathless.
An amazing story, it was taut with tension, moving ever so quickly.
When Shay witnessed a woman jump to her death in front of a subway train in New York City, she becomes focused on this woman's life. Eventually, she gets to know some of her friends and becomes embroiled in their lives.
Told from Shay's point of view, the authors managed to keep me guessing who were the real victims in this story. Plenty of twists and turns to keep me on the edge of my seat until the final page.
What can I say? Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen have done it again. I wasn't sure what to expect from the GoodReads description of this book, but it didn't disappoint. There were a couple of slow parts, but the book kept you guessing. I really couldn't guess where it was going, and the ending was nicely done. Would definitely recommend to others who have enjoyed their books, or others who enjoy modern day thrillers.
I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
I loved Greer and Sarah's other two books, and You Are Not Alone was a great read. This was a book that I could not put down; I finished it in about 2 days, and I always wanted to know what happened next. I guessed one of the big "twists" pretty early on, but that didn't stop me from being interested and wanting to know how everything went together. I enjoyed every moment of reading this book, but I rated it 4 stars because when it was over I was a little disappointed with the ending (it was a bit rushed) and had a few unanswered questions about the whole premise.
The latest novel from Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen is their best one yet! This story follows Shay, who is down on her luck with a temp job and no social or romantic life. One day while waiting for the subway she is witness to a woman who jumps in front of the train. Shay's life starts to turn for the better after meeting a group of women at the memorial service. This book is for fans of psychological thrillers and suspense. I could not put it down!! Five stars!!
You Are Not Alone is a “I can’t turn the pages fast enough” psychological thriller that truly lives up to the hype. You know something’s not quite right, and the suspense just builds and builds as you tear through this book. I’m sure this will be one of the best of the year in this genre. Budget some time when you start this one, because you’ll want to finish it in one sitting.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher through @NetGalley in exchange for an honest review..
Shay is working a temporary job and rooming with Sean who is a great guy. Shay really likes him and is hurt when he brings a girlfriend in to live with him and is asked to leave. To make Shay's life even worse, she witnesses a suicide when Amanda gets run over by a subway train. Shay's life is turned upside down because she suspects something was not right with Amanda's death. Shortly a group of women seem to find her, offer her a place to live, give her a job, and become great friends. All under the guise of tracking her every move, especially when she shares what she saw with the police. I kept reading this book hoping Shay would overcome all the manipulations driven by Cassandra and Jane. I thought it was overdone. The authors went back in time offering insight into Shay's life and the lives of those who manipulated her. I found the flashbacks confusing; disrupting the story. There was too much manipulation for me.
The third installment in this dynamic writing duo and it didn't fail to disappoint. A huge thanks to NetGalley and St Martins Press for the advanced readers copy! This thriller arrives in your favorite bookstores and library on March 3, so stay on the lookout!
This is the second book in the past couple of months I've read about a woman jumping to their deaths into the subway. What a rough way to die no? All I can say is thank goodness I don't live in New York!
In all seriousness, this was a great read, really gripping and has a lot of thought put into it. I enjoyed it and highly recommend!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is the third book I’ve read by the author duo and I can say that this is my favourite one by far. I got so wrapped up in Shay’s storyline and the intertwining of all the other female characters. I could not put this book down! It’s fast-paced, strangely plausible, and I did not pick up on that twist when it happened.
I don’t want to go into too much detail with my review as I don’t want to give anything away. Unfortunately, I perused some reviews after finishing this novel to see what others opinions were and key details of the plot and twist were given away. Spoilers aren’t fun! If you read the other books by these two you’ll be blown away by this one.
22 seconds is all it takes to send your life down a completely different path! Scary to think about and will have me keeping that thought in the back of my mind for a while. I can’t wait to hear what others think as well as to pick up the next book by Pekkanen and Hendricks!
@greerhendricks and @sarahpekkanen are the literary equivalent of the wonder twins, the dynamic duo of thrillers. This is the third book they have co-authored and it is difficult to choose which one is my favorite! The story lines are all different, but all fast-paced and twisted, giving the reader just enough to think they know what’s coming, and #BAM — PLOT TWIST! Statistically speaking, there should be enough time for you to read #thewifebetweenus and #anonymousgirl if you haven’t already, #youarenotalone comes out on March 3rd!! Thank you to @stmartinspress and @netgalley for another fantastic #arc!
These two amazing authors have done it again. This book had me guessing up until the last few pages. I loved the plot twists.
The only thing I found remotely interesting about this book were the statics at the opening of each of Shays chapters. This was excruciating to try to get through. I found the main character Shays desperation to belong and just blatant gullability made this book totally unrealistic. Complete let down for me.
I want to thank Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I absolutely LOVED THIS BOOK. It gripped me from the first chapter and held me in its clutches throughout the rest of the book. I read it all in one sitting and it was a truly phenomenal slow burn/mystery/murder type situation. Interestingly enough, it was not gory in the slightest so it would be a good introduction to a first murder/killer book if you do not normally read those. You could also describe this as true psychological suspense as well. Having loved other books by these authors, I had really high hopes going into this one. Suffice to say, they delivered and crafted another phenomenal read. I imagine that this book will be a real hit when it is published on March 3rd of this year. Go out, buy it, read it, and thank me later. What a fabulous book!
I just went on a wild ride and now have a #bookhangover #netgalleyreview #arc #youarenotalone #greerhendricksandsarahpekkanen you witness a suicide and suddenly your life, your thoughts, your actions are taken over by the dead girl. This book goes on twists and turns. You know the authors. You know their books . This one does NOT disappoint.
A good friend will help you move. A great friend will help you move the body. This is the best book I have read in a long time. It will be a book to keep you reading through the night. It is one of those “WHAT?!” Books. Going to be a bestseller and would make a great movie
OMG!!! I devoured this book in one day. I could not put it down. This writing team has consistently delivered one page turner book after another. All of the characters had something that keeps the reader engaged even when you know that they may be good people. I wanted to finish this book as much as I wanted it to continue. Shay Cassandra, Jane, Valerie, Beth, Daphne and Amanda, are characters that simply jumped out of this book and take hold of their chapters. This is a twisted story that has a lot of turns! Enjoy
