Secrets, lies, and betrayal with high intensity describe this addictive thriller! It was soooo good will read again

First Sue Watson novel I have ever read and I’m totally hooked on her writing! It absolutely satiated my craving for a gripping story full of unexpected twists. You, Me, Her is an excellent example of the perfect psychological thriller - fans of The Perfect Marriage and Verity would LOVE this one!

The pace of this novel was relentless in the best ways. I found myself not just reading but racing at times, not because I wanted the story to end but because I HAD to know what happened next and I was left with goosebumps or wide eyes at the end of nearly every chapter. By the end of the book I was still beside myself, not expecting that last twist.

I highly recommend this to anyone looking for an awesome psychological thriller!

I REALLY enjoyed this one. There was so many twists, I almost couldn't keep my seat. A lot of thrillers go over the top, but I felt this one was really well paced. Minus one star because I found Rachel to be a little bit annoying with her internal monologue.

When Rachel receives an inheritance from her late father she and her husband Tom decide to buy a house on the Cornish coast so that their son has a good place to grow up. Despite her doubts about the location of their home things seem perfect until Rachel meets Chloe their estate agent and after Chloe makes a confession Rachel's not sure who she can trust.

This was fast paced and kept me gripped and I flew through this in a couple of hours. There were so many twists and turns that I had no idea where this was going. The tension in this will have you at the edge of your seat. You could really feel Rachel's unease which added to the unsettling theme of the book. Highly recommend.

This is a definite must-read domestic thriller. It will have you hooked from the very beginning and keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. And that ending...!!!! This is definitely one you can read in one sitting.

This was a good, quick read. I did find the ending a bit predictable, but still enjoyed the journey. Felt a bit like. Freida McFadden book to me, both in plot and the way it was written.

I love Sue Watson books and this was no disappointment

Easy to get into
Fast paced
Kept me gripped from start to finish

You Me Her..


This book is outstanding. I had no idea how this book was going to go and I didn't trust any of these characters. I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen. I got a shock when I read the ending... It wasn't how I thought it would end. I'd very easily give this 10/10.

okay, so I picked up *You, Me, Her* because I needed something to read on my train ride home. Let me just say, I'm so glad I did! This book was totally addictive.

The plot is like a rollercoaster. Rachel, this seemingly normal girl, befriends Chloe, and everything starts to unravel. I was constantly guessing what was going to happen next, and the twists were *insane*.

I really liked the way Watson explored the characters' minds. It was like I was inside their heads, seeing everything from their perspective. The suspense was real, and I couldn't put it down.

There were a couple of parts where I felt like the plot moved a little too fast, but that didn't ruin the story. Overall, *You, Me, Her* is a must-read for anyone who loves a good psychological thriller.

This very much gave me Frieda McFadden vibes and made me enjoy this story. I love a thriller that has all the hints in your face and you still can't guess it!

I adored this book from Sue Watson. She’s one of my favourite thriller writers so going in I was excited to be back with her familiar writing style.

I loved everything about this book, the storyline, the characters and the brilliant story telling.

Although I guessed the rest I loved the lead up and conclusions and this one has gone into one of my favourites of her books.

A masterful psychological thriller that left me breathless. Great characters and surprises. This one had me reading well into the night. Another fantastic story from one of my favorite authors!

I love a good domestic thriller which uses location to its advantage. This book is one such example. A bunch of suspicious characters, personal motivations and red herrings make this an interesting read.

Thank you Bookouture and NetGalley for this e-arc in exchange of my unbiased review.

"You, Me, Her" by Sue Watson was a fun read. A psychological thriller full of lies, suspicions, and a final twist I didn't see coming. I will definitely be telling people to run to get this one. I am so glad I read it. It was just plot twist galore in the best way.

Honestly, I can't wait to look up more books by Sue Watson now.

Thank you NetGalley, Sue Watson, and Bookouture for gifting me this ARC opportunity.

This book was a little overly simply written. It came across overly dramatically written and the twists were too easy to figure it out.
I do think the author had a good premise so we'll give the book A three-star review.
Thank you to net Galley and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC

I can always rely on Sue Watson for a thriller to keep me up far too late. With tight plotting that kept me turning the pages and a twist I didn’t see coming, i would highly recommend You, Me, Her

I loved Sue Watson's previous works, however this one fell a bit short of the awesome meter mainly due to the protagonist Rachel - who had blinders on about her husband. Anyway, the ending twist was fantastic.

The plot is wonderful. The characters, sadly, don't have the same strength (3.5 stars)

I'll give the good news first. This book contains a wonderful, fast-paced and gripping storyline that effortlessly managed to keep me hooked from start to finish - and if you know about the few weeks I've had recently, you'll know that's no mean feat. In the beginning, everything seems so perfect for the main character Rachel, her husband Tom and their four-year-old son Sam, as they move into their dream seaside home in Cornwall. It's a little bit bittersweet for Rachel, because the home was paid for by her inheritance after the death of her father, but of course he'd have wanted her to have a happy new life.

But of course, if you've read any psychological thrillers at all, you'll know that something is going to go wrong at some point. And when something can go so horribly wrong from what initially seems so perfect as to be out of this world, the sense of loss is magnified and is all the better for it. The new home - almost a character in itself - seems everything Rachel had ever dreamed of and more - until one thing threatens to turn the dream into a nightmare. Tom seems like a loving and caring husband ... until his behaviour starts to suggest otherwise. And Chloe seems like the wonderful new friend that Rachel had been longing to make ... until she isn't any more.

I'm not done with the good news yet. I loved the ending. I hope it's not too much of a spoiler to say that there are the shocking final plot twists that other books contain, and then there's the one in this book. I started the final chapter feeling a sense of happiness and relief, only for it to turn to horror in the space of a single paragraph. It's fantastic.

However ... it's actually quite hard for me to write this next part of my review. Because I feel like, having placed Sue Watson on a pedestal with my majoring of her book's good points, I'm about to pull the rug from under her feet and give her the same horrible sense of loss that she made poor old Rachel suffer. But I'm afraid that I did have one or two problems.

Firstly - and call me picky if you will - I was a bit surprised at how annoyed I felt after reading that a journey home from Looe somehow involved turning onto the southbound M5 - something that, if you've ever been to Cornwall, you'll know is only possible if you make a detour of about 100 miles. Admittedly, this is only a small detail, but it's important because a psychological thriller loses a lot of its impact if it contains something, even a small thing, that leaves the reader with any sense of disbelief.

Secondly, and more significantly, You, Me, Her suffers from the same issue as The Split by S E Lynes that I read a couple of months ago. It relies on the characters having specific traits - specifically, Rachel being very naive and Chloe being, well, somewhat abnormal. The key difference though is that in The Split, Susie Lynes is careful to give each character enough of a back-story to make each character's actions believable. Unfortunately, Sue Watson hasn't done the same thing here. And the result is that characters that you need to be relatable, if not necessarily likeable, instead end up being frustrating.

This is even more of a pity because Rachel, in particular, has a great back story that I really wished had been explored in more detail. But instead, it almost felt as though it had been largely glossed over. Chloe's personal history is relayed by her in just a few sentences, which weren't enough for me to begin to understand her or even believe what she was saying. And I hope it's not a spoiler if I say that there's a third character whose motives aren't quite clear either.

It's actually taken me a while to think of a conclusion for this review, but here it finally is. You, Me, Her is wonderful if what you need, first and foremost is to be entertained by a storyline. But for me, a good psychological thriller is one that has me living inside at least one character's head. And I think that for this to have happened here, the characters driving the plot needed to have been given a bit more depth.

My thanks to the author, Bookouture and Netgalley for the digital ARC of this book, which was published on 3rd June 2024.

This is the best book I have read this year so far. The storyline was kept interesting and intense the whole way through, I genuinely had no idea where the story was going, I loved the writing style, it was such an easy read but kept you guessing till the last page!

Sue Watson is at her most chilling with her nail-biting new thriller, You, Me, Her.

Rachel has a lot to be thankful for. Married to her gorgeous husband Tom, she also has a son she adores and a life most people would give their right arm for. Having bought their perfect seaside home, Rachel cannot wait to join Tom and start their new life together in the house of their dreams – even if Rachel cannot shake off this feeling that all isn’t quite what it seems with her marriage. She knows that Tom isn’t being completely honest with her – and that he isn’t the only one in this marriage keeping secrets.

As Rachel begins to settle into her new home, she befriends Chloe and the two become very close. There is nothing Rachel enjoys more than shooting the breeze with her new friend over a long and boozy lunch. The only fly in the ointment for Rachel is that Chloe keeps prying into her marriage to Tom with her pressing questions. Tom has warned Rachel to stay away from Chloe and the way her husband looks at her friend is giving her cause for concern…

Have Tom and Chloe met before? Why did Tom want to move to the seaside? Is Chloe going to cause the end of her marriage? Or was her relationship built on a foundation of lies and deceit?

Sue Watson sure can write a complex, captivating and engrossing thriller that will keep readers turning the pages all through the night. You, Me, Her is a razor sharp exploration of a toxic marriage spiced with secrets, intrigue, danger and suspense full of shocking twists and turns readers simply won’t see coming. Chilling, unpredictable and jaw-dropping, Sue Watson’s You, Me, Her is a must-read for thriller fans.
