This did not quite shock me I would say... I have definitely read better ones to be honest. I found it quite predictable and would not consider it a page-turner...
Furthermore, I could not relate to the main character and felt that the way she and her husband behaved a bit unrealistic.
But the narrator's voice was amazing, I really appreciate that! 😊
I recommend it if you like Sue Watson and enjoy her writing style!
Thank you Netgalley for granting me this arc!
Overall, this title was a fun read. Slow in the beginning, suspenseful build, and a few twists at the end. The main character is clever and thoughtful, her instincts guide her judgement and continues to surprise you as you read. I'm not sure I would have been so level headed in her shoes. The perfect combo of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle and any Freida McFadden novel. Love the reference to the rabbit 💗 A solid 3.5 ⭐️. The only thing I would have loved to see more of was the crazy.
This was a genuinely tense and at times terrifying psychological thriller, and I was constantly trying to predict the outcome. The twists had my heart pounding and I was so invested almost from the get go! This was everything I want from a psychological domestic thriller, and I would absolutely recommend it to lovers of the genre. My only criticism is that I didn’t always love the portrayal of the child in the narrative, as I found him a bit flat and lifeless, more of a pawn than a character in his own right which I don’t tend to love, but that is a minor complaint in comparison to what a fun read this is overall!
You, Me, Her by Sue Watson
(Narrated by Tamsin Kennard)
An enjoyable roller-coaster thriller. I love Sue’s writing style. She always keeps me hooked right from the beginning.
A story about a married couple moved into a new house. When the wife made a new friend, their lives intertwined. Her husband reminded her this new friend was dangerous.
You Me Her was a great thriller and easy read. The narrator performed very well. I love the way she presented the little boy Sam, especially at the ending.
Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for my copy.

Overall I enjoyed this book. This was a good suspense with just enough twists to keep you on your toes, The ending left me surprised. (Although I had a hunch) but left me wanting more. I have a few more details I would have like clarified, but a good cliff hanger keeping you thinking is okay In my opinion! I had the pleasure of listening to the audio version of this book and found the narrator pleasant and enjoyable to listen to,
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture Audio.

Sue Watson is an auto-buy author for me. She always writes addicting thrillers that are just fun to read. You, Me, Her is another entertaining popcorn read. It follows a husband and wife moving into their new home when their lives are infiltrated by a new “friend”.
This was so juicy and twisty. I could not stop listening. I love a domestic thriller and this was just what I needed. Highly highly recommend.

This was an excellent domestic thriller. I felt it really interesting the entire way through, with twists and turns, lying, which keeps you wanting more. I found it to be a very quick read. I couldn't decide throughout the book who was telling the truth, and found myself in suspense until the absolute end. What a twist!! I am definitely looking forward to reading more of Sue Watson's work, very well done!! Thank you to NetGalley, Sue Watson, and Bookouture for allowing me to read this amazing work.
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 domestic thriller is a perfectly enjoyable beach read. The plot effectively builds suspense with its “three people, one marriage, one murder” hook and hidden secrets. Fans of Frieda McFadden will enjoy the "who is telling the truth" and constant deception. While it might not be the most groundbreaking plot, there are twists and turns to keep you guessing until the not-so-shocking reveal. I give it 3.5 stars because it's definitely entertaining.
Want to read a gripping emotional thriller that keeps you guessing until the very end ? Well look no further this book was heartbreaking and tense and amazingly written I can generally call the twists by the end but not this time. When I finished this story I had my jaw dropped for a good ten minutes before I could write this review. I highly recommend the audio book it really brings this book and the characters to life
Reunited after six months apart, Rachel, her husband and son move in their new house in Cornish. Rachel befriends their estate agent Chloe. Soon strange things start happening in Rachel's life.
The synopsis did give away most of the story and I thought the book was a bit predicable but it still had a few plot twists that were intriguing.
Thank you Bookouture and Sue Watson for the Audio ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.
What a great read, brilliantly twisted and disturbing in equal measures. I found "You, Me, Her" to bite in exactly the right places and will keep you absorbed from the very beginning until the shuddering last page.
In some ways this was a fast paced thriller. I listened to the audiobook and loved the narrator she did a great job bringing he story to life. My biggest problem with this book was the main character/narrator. I’m ok with some confusion but Rachel was stubborn in her refusal to recognize a single red flag and she was a complete pushover. I didn’t like her or care about her as a character so I didn’t care about what happened in the book. This is one I sped up to 3x just to get finished. I will say it was interesting and fast paced, but I didn’t find it very twisty (even if it seemed that way for poor Rachel). Now I seem to be in the minority so feel free to give this one a chance. Rachel has a (not very) mysterious past although the reader gets slow amounts of details of it. She and her husband have moved to the seaside with their four year old child spending all of Rachel’s inheritance on the house frustrating Rachel but she is willing to compromise (or give in completely). But when they arrive the woman who helped with the purchase of the house, Chloe, is at the home and a little too interested in Rachel’s husband Tom. Despite Tom’s warning that Chloe is dangerous Rachel becomes friends with her. But no one is what they seem. Overall I gave this one 2.5 stars which I rounded up because while I predicted the twists it was a fast paced book.
Wow. This psychological thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat. Very intriguing. I had no idea where it would lead, and it had captured my attention. From the cover a description you get the idea that there’s an affair and a murder so while listening I tried to piece it together. Every time I thought I had figured it out Sue would throw another curve ball. It wasn’t until the very end she dropped the bomb I absolutely wasn’t expecting.
The narrator has a nice voice and portrays the story well. She dramatizes it in a way that it definitely grabs your attention.
Would give 4.5 if possible but unfortunately that’s not possible here.
This is what we turn to psychological thrillers for! Clears all the bases and knocks it out of the park! Definitely Sue Watson’s best (and I’ve read them all)!
As always, a great mystery from Sue Watson. A great story with an unbelievable twist at the end.
I really enjoyed listening to this book, the Narrator was good and kept my interest.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC
Well, I finished it in one sitting! I was completely intrigued by the plot and domestic drama that unfolded. The first-person POV was a brilliant choice, allowing me to connect with Rachel and experience her emotions firsthand. The narrator did a beautiful job.
The story was nicely woven, making it impossible to stop listening to the audiobook. Sue Watson's clever storytelling kept me reeled in until the very end, with unexpected twists that I didn't see coming. The pacing was impeccable, balancing tension and revelation perfectly.
Overall, 'You, Me, Her' is a gripping and emotional rollercoaster that will captivate fans of domestic drama and psychological suspense. Sue Watson's writing is engaging and light, making this book a must-read for anyone looking for a compelling and emotional journey.
Thank you NetGallery and Bookotour for the advanced copy
Thanks to her father’s inheritance Rachel and Tom find themselves living in an idyllic rural location but Tom is the driving force of this move and whilst Rachel tries to be positive she becomes concerned by a series of events that make her question how committed to her Tom really is. Is it her he loves or her money? And when the suggestion of an affair is raised who should Rachel believe? Her loving husband and father to the child they dote on or the woman scorned? Very quickly the stakes are raised as not everything is what it seems.
I’m a lover of Sue Watson’s books and this certainly doesn’t disappoint. Fast paced, well constructed characters and a storyline that could happen to any of us make for a stonking good read!
I do love escaping into a book by this author and this one was no exception. I just kept listening as I wanted to know what was going to happen and why it was happening. The narration really added to the story.
Yes I did guess who everyone was, obviously read too many of these books. but the fun was working out the why and how they did it.
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. They even have the same narrator -- Tamsin Kennard.
