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

This story will have you hanging on to find out what will happen until the very end.

I’ve always loved Greer Hendricks’ and Sarah Pekkanen’s writing style. Together they are a wonderful powerhouse.

After reading this story, I see loneliness in a whole new light and it makes me want to never make new friends. So, I’m going to warn you to be careful and thoroughly check out the new people in your life, especially if they’re trying to change you!!

If you asked me a couple months ago what 2020 book releases I was most excited about, You Are Not Alone would definitely have been in the top 5.  From the authors of The Wife Between Us and An Anonymous Girl comes a new thriller set to be released on March 3rd.  To say I was stoked to receive an ARC from Netgalley is an understatement. ⁣

This is one of those books that the less you know going in, the better; therefore, I'm not going to give a plot summary. I will, however, say that this book is the very definition of a psychological thriller. From the very first page, I was hooked.  My sense of dread and doom for what was to come increased with every turn of the page.  I found myself berating the main character aloud more than once, much to the humor of my family and, ahem, a few people in a quiet restaurant. 😬😂 Other characters were so fun to hate, which proved to be another element that drew me in.  I don't typically have trouble putting a book down to go to bed at night (I'm half sloth and seriously love my sleep), but this was an exception - I just HAD to see what would happen next. I can't recommend this one enough, you guys.  I'm giving it my first ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating of the year. ⁣

Books written by multiple authors are popular, especially the writing duo of Hendricks and Pekkanen. Their books keep aspiring to new heights. I was fully immersed in this story from the very first sentence. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to find out the next detail. Shay is down on her luck, until she witnesses a horrifying event. She gets sucked into a devious group, taken in by a innocent wanting to belong, which they capitalize on. I was wronging my hands in agony wondering who would prevail. I was in the dark until the final few chapters caused the last missing pieces to snap into place. As I finished the book my one thought was brilliant. No one can mess with a reader's mind like these authors. Now, when's the next one??

I was lucky enough to have an advanced copy of this book to read. This book had me hooked from the first page. Hendricks and Pekkanen know how to keep the readers engaged and wondering what happens next. I found the way the wove the different perspectives and started each of Shays chapter with statistics to be brilliant. I read this book in a day and a half as I could not wait to read what happens next. Just when you think you have it all figured out...things change! This book will have you rooting for the protagonist and wondering if she was truly involved. I would give this 5 out of 5 stars and recommend to anyone who loves a good mystery. I will definitely be recommending this book to my friends and even my students.

Another fun thriller featuring multiple POV's and a crazy cast of characters. Greer and Sarah continue their streak of solid, intelligent mysteries with a few predictable twists and more unpredictable ones, but as per usual you are better off knowing less details before you dive in.

You are Not Alone kept my attention and was a fast read. The title character seems amazingly gullible, but forces you to realize what happens when you're lonely and how easily it is to manipulate people. I liked the twist at the end as I was constantly wondering what the driving force was behind the characters actions and logic. This would make a perfect Lifetime movie.

An overall enjoyable read. I got very frustrated with some of the choices that Shay made throughout the book but I understand that loneliness can make people do unique things to make friends. I know that is why the Moore Sisters worked to capitalize on her. Some of the things they led her to were so subtle. I enjoyed the few unexpected parts of the book as well. I liked the data and facts that were woven throughout the book and it was interesting to see the role it had overall. Another solid book by this psychological thriller author duo!

I really enjoyed the setup and characters in this novel. Although the main character is a tall woman at 5’10”, the author does a phenomenal job of developing her into a mousy, timid woman who feels like she is adrift and invisible. Well-crafted and an enjoyable read.

2020 is off to a great start! I can’t even believe it but Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen have done it again! You Are Not Alone is an amazing, bone-chilling psychological thriller. I really found myself being in the mindsets of both Shay and the woman who jumps in front of the subway. I thought I knew what was happening, and I was proven wrong. There are so many moving components to this story that left me bewildered, yet satisfied! I was consumed by this book and will literally read anything that these two women write together! Please give us more.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the arc of this masterpiece. All opinions are my own.

I actually had trouble getting through this one - after reading the previous 2 titles from this duo, I was jazzed beyond words to get this one and I was a little let down.

While written well, the characters did not draw me in nor did the story itself. Perhaps I am more accustomed to reading about slightly more psycho women and the two sisters in the story were just a lil too polished for my liking and the story didn't draw me in at all.

Not a bad read but certainly wasn't what I'd hoped for.

Thank you St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the digital ARC.

I enjoyed the first two books by these authors but this one was just so-so. Shay witnesses a woman jump to her death in front of a subway train. She then becomes obsessed with the other women's life and winds up meeting her "friends." It took too long getting to the motivation behind these women. Once you figure it out, it just gets a bit ridiculous. I'll probably still read their next book though. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

4.5 stars

My favorite read of 2020 so far! Although, that’s probably no surprise since the authors’ previous two books were some of my absolute favorites.

This book drew me in right from the start. It’s really hard to summarize it without giving too much of the story away. I think that’s also why most of the blurbs online are pretty vague. The story centers around a woman in NYC by the name of Shay who feels completely unnoticed and a little down on her luck. Through a random subway incident, she finds herself drawn into a close circle of friends and she begins to finally feel noticed. However, the group has some pretty big secrets and she has no idea what she has gotten herself into...

What I liked: This was a super easy read! I feel like the authors did a great job of making you sympathize with the main character. Her loneliness was so profound that she was willing to turn herself into someone else in order to be liked and accepted. I think it’s a timely message of how disconnected people can become and how important it is to have truly genuine friends. I also LOVED that it was a thriller with literally no foul language! They can be so hard to find and I am super appreciative of being able to read a well written suspense novel that doesn’t feel the need to incorporate curse words for no apparent reason. The twist at the end was one I didn’t see coming (I’m honestly not sure anyone could see that particular twist due to the way the rest of the book is written). It wasn’t quite as shocking to me as the twist in the middle of The Wife Between Us (that one made me literally gasp and immediately recommend the book to all my friends). But it was still well done.

What I didn’t like: I really don’t have anything I didn’t like. I will say I did figure out part of one of the twists in the middle. I knew what the group was up to before they met Shay. I felt that was a little obvious, but there were still connections that were made later that were not as obvious. The ending was tied up pretty neatly and could have been a little longer in my opinion. But this is one of the only thrillers I’ve read this year where I found the ending satisfying and not disappointing, so it wasn’t that big of a deal overall.

In short, this was another solid thriller by the authors. If I were to rank them, this one would probably be #2 right behind The Wife Between Us. I will definitely continue to read their books, recommend them to others, and anxiously await the next one!

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