The twists and turns will keep you engaged in this book until the very end when your mind gets blown! Thank you Netgalley, the publisher and author for my ARC!

My Thoughts: firstly let me say this is my first time reading one of Sue’s books, I have a lot on my kindle but never actually picked one up. I started with a good one!

The writing almost lulls you into a false sense of security, the idyllic setting and the happy family reunion and the perfect new house… that is until the estate agents lets herself in.. from the off Rachel thinks it’s weird, but her husband Tom brushes it off with excuses.

Rachel isn’t stupid though, she already has doubts about moving to the coast because of her debilitating fear of water thanks to a past trauma but when her dad died and she inherited a large sum of money, Yom convinced her a fresh start was a good idea.

I didn’t like Chloe as a ‘villain’ she was annoying and over the top, almost like the irritating little sister that you can’t get rid of because you’ve promised your parents you’ll spend the day with her.. nothing quite adds up but nothing sets off massive alarm bells either, which I’m assuming was purposely done and very clever.

The way Sue added reasonable doubt on more than one character left us hanging in a way that made the writing addictive and impossible to put down.

An absolutely fantastic read that I will be shouting about from the rooftops.

This is my first time reading Sue Watson's book and most definitely not the last. I love her writing style and how she engaged her readers right from the first chapter. This had my full attention and I love how fast paced this book is with the twists and turns from the very start up the last page. I wish this book didn't have to end. My hunch was right about Rosa, congrats to me I guess.

Anyway, thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for the eARC in exchange for an honest review and happy pub day!

Thank you for the ARC of You Me Her.

Overall I enjoyed it, however, at 70% of the book, I was able to figure out the plot of this book. I would still recommend this book to other readers.

You, Me, Her is another great, twisty story by Sue Watson.
Anything Watson writes I want to read right away as she's that good. This book was fantastic and had so many good twists and turns throughout that will keep you engrossed until the very end.
The book has tension throughout, the tension amplified as did the sense of unease. I was on the edge of my seat flipping the pages, wanting to know more.

Thank You NetGalley and Bookouture for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

Nothing is as it seems in this book. There is an underlying feeling of evil and danger, but you just do not know who or why. Someone is lying. The question remains who is the bad guy or bad girl?

Rachel is excited and scared about their family's move to Cornwall. She has always been happy with little, and now she is about to the move into a mansion. She is not sure she wants to leave her comfortable life. This move is made even harder because she knows no one. Her husband, Tom, is thrilled to show Rachel all of the improvements he has made to the home. When Rachel meets Chloe, she feels that she has found a friend, but she is not completely certain if she is a friend or foe. Someone is playing mind games with Rachel, and her psyche cannot handle it.

This was intense, thrilling and jaw-dropping. It has all of the emotions that I have come to count on when reading a book written by Sue Watson. As far as psychological thrillers go, this one would be highly rated in my opinion. Mainly because the gaslighting and mind games are beyond creepy, and there is never a dull moment.

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for this ARC. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I wasn't sure what to expect reading this book but I was wildly entertained. The characters were unpredictable and were extremely memorable. Chloe reminded me so much of the roles actress Jennifer Coolidge plays in movies. The pace was just right revealing little secrets along the way. This book was so good it has movie potential written all over it.

There’s never room for more than two people in one marriage. This book is full of deceit, questioning who’s done it, and trying to figure out who to truly trust. There are twists, some that you may be able to guess, but I definitely didn’t see the biggest twist coming. If you are in the mood for a he said, she said thriller with lives on the line, check out You Me Her when it’s published tomorrow, Monday June 3rd!

"You, Me, Her" is a book I could not put down. There were so many twists and turns that, at times. I couldn't figure out who to trust and who was lying. I was quite invested.

The book is about Rachel, Tom, and their son, Sam. Tom and Rachel just had a very expensive house built in Cornwall. Tom was in charge of the building process while Rachel stayed in Manchester with Sam. When Rachel finally moves to Cornwell, she experiences one odd, questionable event after another. Beginning with the realtor, Chloe, just letting herself into their house.

The plot was very good. Rachel was a bit too much with her husband though. She annoyingly thought he walked on water. This irked me.

About 3/4 through the book I figured out the ending. Once I got to the last page I thought I was mistaken. I was looking for more. I was not a fan of how the story just ended. 3.5 stars from me.

Thank you NetGally and Bookouture for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

A good thriller keeps you emotionally invested in the characters. Instantly, I was choosing sides in each situation! I was quickly hooked from the point when Tom surprised Rachel with a pool replacing her dream garden. The rub salt on the wound Tom paid for the pool with money from Rachel’s inheritance from her father. This was the point at which I became emotionally invested in Tom. I was dying to hear more about Rachel’s fear of water. The book offered only just enough to keep you wanting more. Then there is the other main character…..Chloe! The way her and Rachel became quick friends instantly made me not trust Chloe!

It was very interesting read ! That kind of gripping thriller I find it cool to follow on my reading list !

I’ll start by saying that this is the best thriller I’ve read this year (and maybe longer).
The characters were so unique and flawed in a way that showcased true feelings and emotions.
The kids in this book were more than annoying, though. Maybe that was on purpose.
It was really challenging to feel sorry for Rachel. She was always making the wrong decisions, but I think that also kept the story grounded- we all make mistakes and sometimes bad luck can follow us.
I loved how I was doubting myself at all times and when I finally thought I had it figured out, a new twist appeared. What I loved most is that the suspense was creepy (I was checking my surroundings for real) but nothing was exaggerated or unlikely.
It’s usually tricky to keep the reader invested in such an entangled story, but I couldn’t put this down.

You, Me, Her by Sue Watson is a domestic psychological thriller novel set in Cornwall. You, Me, Her is told in the first person perspective by the main character in the present timeline but does slowly reveal some past events over the course of the book.

Rachel is happily married to her husband Tom and the two have their lovely little boy, Sam, together. Rachel inherited a huge sum of money and Tom convinced her it was time to get out of Manchester and move to Cornwall. The house that Rachel and Tom bought definitely needed a lot of renovating though so Tom moved on ahead to Cornwall while Rachel stayed behind with their son.

Now Rachel is finally joining Tom in Cornwall in their new home but the repairs and purchase have put yet another financial strain on them despite Rachel’s inheritance so Tom begins to travel again for work. Being left in a new town Rachel finds herself getting close to their realtor despite Tom warning her away from Chloe when they first met, surely her husband is wrong about the lovely new neighbor?

Sue Watson is an author that I have read many many times before and I always enjoy returning to her somewhat fast paced twisty thriller novels so I was excited to pick up You, Me, Her. It didn’t take any time at all to virtually travel over to Cornwall and get completely engaged in this story and this was the fast paced twisty tale that I expected. I was torn between wanting to munch on some popcorn as it all unfolded and throwing my popcorn at the character to get her to watch out for the reveal that was surely coming. Definitely an author I’ll continue to return to in the future.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

This book focuses on Rachel. Her and her son Sam move down to Cornwall to be with her husband and Sam’s dad Tom who has been renovating their new house. Once the family is reconnected the tension starts immediately. Chloe, the estate agent, lets herself into the house on Rachel’s first night and her overfamiliarity with the house and Tom raises red flags for Rachel. Tom, warns that she is dangerous and to keep away.
Tension builds between Tom and Rachel when she finds out he has installed a swimming pool in their garden spending the last of her inheritance money on something he knows she is terrified of.
Weird things start to happen in the house and when Tom is away on business, Rachel makes friends with Chloe feeling scared and lonely is this the best decision?

There are a lot of twists and turns in this psychological thriller leaving the reader questioning everyone and everything. I did guess the ending but still enjoyed reading to the end to find out if I was right or not.


I found Rachel quite frustrating to read, especially her unwavering trust in her husband despite knowing he had already gone behind her back about the swimming pool. I was desperate for her to find out the truth.

I found ‘You, Me, Her’ by Sue Watson to be a fast paced and entertaining domestic thriller. I was able to do an immersion read (ebook + audiobook) which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I did find myself getting frustrated with the female main character, Rachel, due to her continuous poor decision making and inability to see red flags. I would have liked to see her gain more strength and insight as a character as the story progressed.

I also found the story to get a bit repetitive at times and wish the ending would have had a more jaw dropping effect.

Despite my frustration with the FMC and my ability to correctly guess a few things beforehand, I remained entertained and couldn’t stop reading/listening.

This book would be great for thriller fans who are looking for a quick read and who can look past the predictably factor, while still be entertained by a thrilling story. I would recommend the audiobook over the ebook or suggest an immersion read because the narrator was excellent!

Overall rating: 3.5 ⭐️

Thank you NetGalley, Bookouture, and Sue Watson for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Sometimes I can figure out the main plot points in a heartbeat! I did so with this Watson thriller.
During the first chapter the stink emanating from one of the characters was rancid.
I also pinpointed the other main culprit after a few chapters had gone by.
Watson makes readers work for it and question what is really happening and if Rachel was losing her mind or what was really happening.
It’s a swimming read!

Gripping. I listened to the audiobook in one sitting. You, Me, Her had just the right amount of creepy for me! I was super impressed with myself that I predicted the big twist fairly early on in the book, but I still absolutely loved the ending!

I have so much to say but can’t say anything without spoiling. Just trust me when I say I AM NOT OKAY and YOU WON’T BE EITHER! 🤯🤯

I love it when a book humbles me and this one humbled me. I thought I had it "figured" out about three different times when the ending swooped in and said “Guess again bish”. 😱 I sat in silence for around 5 minutes after finishing because my mouth was on the floor. Someone could have talked to me and I wouldn’t have been able to formulate a sentence because I was so stunned. My husband came in the room because I was so quiet and asked “are you okay?” 😂😂😂

NO I’M NOT OKAY but like in the best way possible. 😉

This is a great psychological thriller.
Rachel moves into the house that her husband has been doing up while she’s been in Manchester with their son.
She loves what he’s done to it but can’t believe he’s spent all of her inheritance money on it.
A woman arrives at the house on their first night together and Tom warns Rachel not to get too close to her. Rachel is confused by this comment and while Tom is working away, she starts to become friends with Chloe.
Things start happening around the house so Rachel asks her friend Rosa to come and stay.
Things go from bad to worse and this leads to a nail biting confrontation between Rachel and Tom.
This is a great thriller.
Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

Sue Watson does a fabulous job of keeping you guessing throughout this taut domestic thriller!
Rachel and her husband Tom have been living apart for months while he fixed up their new house in Cornwall, bought with Rachel's inheritance, but the book begins as Rachel and their son Sam finally join Tom to begin a new chapter in their family's life. Rachel's happiness is dampened by worries over the family's finances and memories of a past trauma that are reawakened by their new home, and her only prospect of a new friend is someone her husband has warned her is dangerous without explaining why. Watson dangles plenty of red herrings, which had me changing my mind about what's really going on time after time. A thoroughly enjoyable read!
