I've read most of Sue Watson's books and what I love about her writing is the way she pulls you into the story from the first chapter. Her new book You Me Her does exactly that and once I started reading I couldn't stop.

The story centres around Rachel, Tom and their little boy, Sam. Rachel has inherited some money after the death of her father and husband Tom has been busy renovating the house of their dreams in Cornwall. The book begins when Rachel and Sam join Tom at their new house and then the drama and strange stuff starts to happen.

This is gripping and terrifying domestic thriller that kept me guessing right to the end. Just when I thought I'd worked it out another twist came along.

Thank you to Bookouture and Netgalley for the ARC

As promised, this book was full of twists, turns and suspense. Once I reached around 40% of the way through I had to finish it in the same day as it kept me so intrigued.
The story kept me on my toes throughout and I was second guessing the twists and turns constantly. The only downside I would maybe consider is that the main female character became very frustrating at times, almost in a horror movie-esque way of watching them walk into the house knowing a murderer is in there. However, if it hadn't been for her frustrating decisions the build up and suspense would have had less effect.
Overall a fantastic book and I cannot wait to read more by Sue Watson!

Rebecca is finally moving from Manchester to a fabulous new home by the coast in Cornwall with husband Tom and their young son Sam. Tom has been working on the house to get it just how they want it, they could only afford this extravagant home due to the inheritance she gained when her father passed away and that is a bittersweet pill for her to swallow. She makes friends with Chloe who, on the surface, seems lovely but Tom keeps warning her that Chloe is dangerous, what is it about these two and why did Tom really want to make this move?

You Me Her is centred around the three main characters; Rebecca, Tom and Chloe. When Rebecca first arrives in Cornwall everything seems fine, she loves the house and what Tom has done to it and can't wait to make it their forever home, but then Chloe appears on the scene, Tom introduces her as the estate agent that helped him find the house, but then warns Rebecca to stay away from her, not long after strange things start to happen, that nobody can explain. I found Tom to be a rather odd character who didn't like anyone Rebecca was linked to, none more so than Rosa, who had been Rebecca's best friend since nursing her father through his illness, although the feeling seemed to be completely reciprocated, but the piece de resistance was the surprise Tom presented her with which sent her spiralling back to the nightmare of her past, why would he do that to her? This latest thriller by Watson is, as her previous thrillers, a fast paced read with lots of twists and turns that I found really hard to put down once I'd started reading and, even though I guessed about two chapters from the end, what the outcome was going to be, this in no way spoilt my enjoyment of this tense and twisty tale that had me on the edge of my seat throughout. Watson is firmly cemented as one of my go to authors now and I can't wait to see what she delivers next!

I'd like to thank Bookouture and Netgalley for the auto approval, I will post my review on Goodreads now and Amazon on publication day.

wow, i’m not sure where to start with this book ! i read this as an arc (comes out june 3rd !!!) and again, wow. what an interesting story, also a super easy read, felt like i absolutely flew through it. as a thriller, it did such a good job of keeping me on the edge of my seat i swear my heart was beating 1000 beats a minute🫠 it was quite twisty and honestly pretty creepy too, which really added to the suspense of the book as a whole. i honestly thought at a lot of points it was quite predictable but i don’t think that took away from the story as a whole. i was flip flopping back and forth with theories whilst reading it and i thought i had it pinned down, but my GOD, the ending ????? i did NOT see that coming, a mind blowing plot twist i had 0 suspicion about it the entire book and just for that i was so impressed !👏🏼 honestly worth the read and like i said, i ate it up and if you like thrillers im sure you will too !!🫶🏼

Rachel agress to move from Manchester to Cornwall after she inherits a large sum of money from her father which helps her and her husband, Tom, buy the house of their dreams and now with enough money they can completely refurbish it. Rachel lives there with Tom and their 4 year old son San but nothing seems what it is. A must read. This book with have you at the edge of your seat. This was my first thriller and I loved every part of it. You do not theon wear to expect after every turn of the page and most defiantly I. was not expecting that ending whatsoever!! it is a major PLOT TWIST.

This was a fun fast paced thriller! It kept me turning pages and had my full attention. I wanted to shake the main character a few times and be like “hello!!! Pay attention!” I feel like it was so obvious that her husband putting in that pool was cruel. The poor lady had trauma with water and he keeps shoving the pool down her throat. I did guess the big twist about half way through but I was still fully captivated by the story and needed to see how all the pieces would fit together. The end was a little abrupt to me and I would have liked a confrontation but overall I still really enjoyed this book. Thank you to NetGalley for my copy!

Disclaimer: I'm allergic to protagonists who ignore red flags and make the worst decisions possible.

The book is fast-paced, but I guessed all the major plot twists.

The story follows Rachel, who just moved into her new house in Cornwall, which her husband has been renovating. On the same night, she meets Chloe, who casually lets herself in to "drop papers" from the estate agent. Despite Rachel's husband's warnings about Chloe, they start to bond. However, secrets loom large, and Rachel feels a presence watching her, driving her to the brink of sanity.

While the book was an easy read, I wasn't head over heels for the story. Here's why:

》As mentioned in my disclaimer, I can't stand protagonists who ignore blatant red flags. Rachel's life is full of ominous signs, yet she keeps putting herself at risk. It's infuriating.

》The first-person narrative from Rachel should mean she hears every conversation. Yet, when her son casually mentions "daddy's friend," she seems to miss it. In a third-person narrative, this might be acceptable, but not in first-person. It's just not believable.

》The blurb portrays Rachel as stronger and smarter than she actually is. It suggests she knows more than everyone assumes, but in reality, she's clueless.

》There are several plot holes and dropped plotlines. For instance, Rachel hears about a body under the flowerbed, finds it strange, and then it's never mentioned again.

》The ending aims to shock, but it's entirely predictable. Just think of the most shocking betrayal possible, and you've got it—even if it doesn't make complete sense.

Not everything was a miss, though. Here are a few things I liked:

》The portrayal of stalking and the accompanying nerve-chilling fear is spot-on. The constant self-doubt and questioning reality are well depicted.

》Rachel is sensible with finances, recognizing what is excessive and what is necessary, ensuring they don't go overboard.

Overall, I wasn't awed by the story, but I wasn't bored either. It held my attention.

2 stars

Thank you NetGalley, Sue Watson, and Bookouture for the advanced digital copy. Highly appreciated.

Actual rating: 3.25 ⭐️

I love a good thriller and this was a very decent one. However, the drama could've been slightly earlier to have me 100% hooked.

The build up was needed with this book and you do read on to think that one specific person is the crazy one but not all is as it seems

I was gripped from the 70% mark and did keep guessing to who was the one who seemed to be keeping the most secrets.

However, I definitely did not guess the last couple of pages at all.. was very unexpected but made so much sense once I thought about it. I did sit wide eyed and was like eurgh a cliff hanger give me more.

Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review!

Many thanks to NetGalley, Bookouture and Bookouture Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest domestic thriller by a favorite, Sue Watson; as always, perfectly narrated by Tamsin Kennard. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars rounded up!

Rachel and Tom have been separated while she and their son worked to sell her father's home and he finished getting their new home ready. When they are finally together the first night, Rachel is shocked when Chloe lets herself into their home. Tom says that she was the estate agent, and later tells Rachel not to trust Chloe. When Rachel sees Chloe again at school drop-off, they start a friendly relationship. But can she be trusted?

It's always a good day when there's a new Sue Watson book to devour, and I loved being able to switch between the digital and audio versions so that I could keep flipping the pages! It's best to go into this as blind as possible to better enjoy all the drama, twists, and turns. This one kept you wondering who you could trust and which secrets to believe. Loved the ending! Add this one to your summer list for sure!

This is the first Sue Watson book that I’ve read and I can’t wait to read more. The storyline was intensely gripping from the very start and I instantly didn’t want to put it down. There were so many twists and turns throughout the book which just built up as it went along, with every chapter ending in a way that made me desperate to read the next one.
The book kept me guessing the entire way through and did not disappoint in any way. A great read and I would highly recommend!

This book has made me into a tennis ball – as it bounces me back and forth on what I believe is true. One minute I believe one person – the next page, I believe that person instead.

There is so much happening in the book that I have never felt more intrigued and excited to get to the next page – not the next chapter.

There are many heart pounding moments all the way to the end.

The author gives such voice and credibility to the characters that you fall deep for each of them.

The story line is so well written and believable that you are hanging on every written word.

Bravo – well done!

Fun twisty read, and couldn't put down till I found out what happened, although the characterisation and descriptions are rather bland and generic .

I'm always happy when I see a book by Sue Watson on my TBR list.

As always, a great mystery from Sue Watson. A great story with an unbelievable twist at the end.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC

This book was excellent. It captured my attention the entire time and I sailed through it. I am recommending this to all of my friends. It will be on KU once published.

Pop your popcorn and put your feet up. Rachel and Tom are making a fresh start in their Cornwall dream house. Their son Sam is safely tucked in his new bedroom. Time to go check out the secret garden where nightmares await for Rachel. Is Tom really an understanding, patient husband? Is he clueless? Or is he calculating? Someone named Chloe might have some answers. She came to visit that first night and had keys to the house -- because she worked for the estate agent. Isn't that convenient? Your spidey senses will be tingling as strange things happen around the house and Tom seems to have an explanation for every thing that concerns Rachel. We all know there is more going on than Rachel realizes. That's what keeps those pages turning. If you love Daniel Hurst, then you will want to try Sue Watson.

A big thank you to Bookouture for a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

This twisty turning story definitely kept me curious. I thought I had it all figured out multiple times and then another surprise popped up around the next corner. Sue Watson's You, Me, Her is a great thriller that I didn't want to put down. Thank you netGalley for the ARC!

Revving, turbulent, and enticing! This book was so good that I finished it at 4 a.m. because I could not put it down. My Kindle battery went from 99% to 60% in one day. As a cautionary tale, do not start reading this book at night; you will not sleep.

This thriller is a thrill ride of suspense, constantly challenging your assumptions and making you question what's going on. If you enjoy thrillers that keep you guessing from start to finish, this is the one for you!

The story revolves around a seemingly perfect family composed of Tom, Rachel, and Sam, who uproot their lives from Manchester to Cornwall. Their move, triggered by an inheritance and a dream home, raises questions. Whose dream home is it? Is the family united in their desires, or are there hidden agendas? Can Rachel's perspective be trusted, or are the people around her manipulating her? And what about the mysterious events that unfold? Who is pulling the strings?

This book is engaging and has a well-written plot—a constant battle between what Rachel is experiencing and a gut feeling of something not adding up.

You, Me, Her is the ideal book for a book club because I can't stop thinking about it and wish I had someone to discuss it with!

I highly recommend this book. Here's a friendly warning: don't start reading it at night; that way, you can rest.

Wow, this book is so good! Sue Watson is one of my favourite go to authors and this one was a belter!

Rachel and Tom and their young son, Sam, have moved into a beautiful new house on the Cornish coast with money left to Rachel by her father. Tom has been renovating the house, while Rachel sells their old flat in Manchester. Although Rachel has her doubts, things seem idyllic until she meets Chloe, their estate agent. Initially striking up a friendship, Rachel soon begins to suspect that Chloe is not all she seems and when Chloe makes a confession, Rachel finds herself not knowing who she can trust....

I absolutely love stories with unreliable narrators or characters and this was so cleverly done. Chloe appears completely unhinged, but is she just desperate for a friend? The underlying tension and menace builds throughout the story and I couldn't stop turning the pages. The ends of several chapters actually made me gasp out loud!

The Cornish seaside setting and the beautiful house was beautifully captured, as was Rachel's increasing unease and fear as the book progresses.

To say any more would spoil it, suffice to say, just read it now! Highly recommended, as are all of Sue's books.

Huge thanks to author Sue Watson, publishers Bookouture and Net Galley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Sue Watson does it again!

This author never ever disappoints. Her books are always a rollercoaster ride and that is what makes a good book and brings you back for more of her writing.

She knows how to write the twists and turns that the readers are looking for. Hope there will be a part two so that we can find out what happens to Tom and Rachel.

I will read anything that Sue Watson writes.

Thanks NetGalley for letting me read and review.

WHOA! What a rollercoaster of a read!!! Every single page had me guessing! I did have an idea on who ‘her’ was towards the end and I turned out being correct. I’m giving 4 stars because I feel that there needs to be an epilogue to wrap everything up. I’d love to know what happened with Tom and his trial and the future of Rachel.
