Errrr, I'm not really sure how to rate this. On the one hand it was engrossing, and it was definitely keeping me reading to find the 'answers'.. on the other I found the 'answers' just appeared on the page, with no real fuss or drama, leaving me feeling a little empty...read it in just over 2 days, so guess, on the whole, this is worth a 4/5.

This was a clever thriller, with some unexpected slow reveal plot twists. I enjoyed the read and will continue to look out for this author.

I loved this book, it was brilliant.

Firstly I loved, even after reading the synopsis and the first few pages, I had no idea where the story was going.

I loved all the characters in the book.

The ending was strong as well.

Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this book and found it very easy to read. The writing style has a way of effortlessly drawing in the reader, providing just the right amount of detail at exactly the right moment to pique interest and develop the plot.

Written predominantly in the first person, the protagonist of 'You are not alone' is narrator Shay. She is both likeable and relatable and as the tale begins, we meet her at quite a low point in her life. After witnessing an apparent subway suicide, Shay's vulnerability increases and she falls victim to the charms of sisters, Cassandra and Jane Moore, when she encounters them at a memorial service. Their higher social status combined with their exquisite style and elegance, captivates Shay and makes her easy to manipulate.

The story moves along at a fast pace and is utterly absorbing. Readers are given access to information on characters and events about which Shay is ignorant and this creates significant tension and suspense. The twists are unexpected and keep coming until the end, by which point, the character of Shay has transformed from the naive and almost spineless woman at the beginning to an independent and decisive force to be reckoned with.

I recommend this book and thank-you to Netgalley and Pan Macmillan for allowing me to read an advanced copy of it.

Loved this! This is my kind of story - happily ticking along at a nice pleasant pace then Wowzer - you didn’t see that coming! Shay is really easy to like and the story is really well told! Not my first book by this couple, and certainly not my last!

This is the third book that Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen have co-written together.
They make a very great team together.
Shay Miller loves numbers and statistics but struggles to hold down a job.
She is now living with Sean and his girlfriend which is not ideal.
On the way home she witnessed a woman jump in front of the subway train and this changed her life forever.
Shay cant get the woman out of her mind and decides to go to her memorial service and is met by the Moore sisters Cassandra and Jane whom she befriends, they soon became close friends but the sisters have a more sinister motive in mind.
Will Shay ever be safe again?

Brilliant. There is so much packed into this story. Shay witnesses a suicide and that sets off a whole chain of events. Shay is lonely so is happy to be befriended by the Moore Sisters. I loved Shays fascination for facts and how they were part of her everyday life. This whole story has been very cleverly written and has several strong characters. I want to sit and read it again to see what clues I missed.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

This is the first book I have read by these authors and it definitely won't be the last if this is anything to go by.

This is a book that will have you wondering where it is going and then BAM!! it all comes together and is tied up in a well executed ending. It is a well written, tense read with lots of clues to keep you guessing through out the book.

It will appeal to readers of women's psych thrillers who love a twisty tale.

Holy hell I loved this. I read it in a day.
The story is so engaging and moves at exactly the right pace - not too fast, not too slow.
I think the idea of Shay being so lonely that she's willing to latch on to anyone who shows her some kindness is something that's all too relatable in this day and age, and she's a believable character.

I also like that the ending wrapped things up neatly and had Shay back on her feet - but wasn't over the top in making it a happy ending either, which made it all the more real.

Excellent work from these authors, I can't wait for their next work.

Another very enjoyable psychological thriller by these two great authors. Once you start reading you immediately sense there's something off and that not all is as it seems. Plenty of clever little twists which kept me interested until the end. 3.5 rounded to 4.

This was an extremely powerful story of a vulnerable young woman, who witnesses a suicide.

She then met people along the story , who took her under their wing and tried to turn her into the identity of the victim of the suicide.

It is the story of how the truth about the suicide unfolds, that it was not so straight and simple as someone walking in front of a train.



The story flits between the main character and 5 other strong characters, and refers to their youth and growing up.

The jigsaw then begins to fit together with them all being part of the plot.



I really enjoyed this book, it was entertaining, about how a woman’s mind works when she is crossed.

It was a little confusing at times, as the story and the different characters kept going back in time.

If you like a page turner and find the act of revenge interesting, then I recommend you read this book.

It is hard to put down and has a lot of twists.

I would definitely recommend it.

Another good psychological thriller by the Duo.
Shay is a Data Analyst and is at the wrong place at the wrong time or is she?
A close group of girlfriends who share more than just meals. What secrets form the basis of their friendship and why does Shay seem so drawn to the sisters who are leading this pack?

The story goes back and forth between the voices of Shay, Amanda and the Sisters. As the story unfolds, Shay realises that all is not what it seems. She is isolated but fights her way back and she too has a secret of her own!

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC

My thanks to Pan Macmillan for an eARC via NetGalley of ‘You Are Not Alone’ by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen in exchange for an honest review. It was published in hardback and audiobook on 5 March.

“Numbers never lie. Statistics, charts, percentages—they don’t contain hidden agendas or shades of gray. They’re pure and true. It isn’t until people start meddling with them, spinning and shaping them, that they become dishonest.—DataBook, Page 1.”

Shay Miller, the main protagonist of this extremely twisty psychological thriller, loves statistics and is employed in market research. A small incident on the way to the subway delays her by a mere 22 seconds and yet this sets in motion a series of life-changing events.

I am reluctant to say more about the plot because I believe that this type of thriller is best read cold. Shay serves as the main narrator while other chapters present other perspectives.

This is the second novel that I have read by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen and concur with many others at how well they structure their plots and the extremely twisty aspects.

While the plot may be a bit ‘out there’, there is no doubt that it was extremely entertaining and had me on the edge of my seat.

I was also very impressed that my local online library listed its e-audiobook, narrated by Dylan Moore and Barrie Kreink, early this morning allowing me to listen alongside reading the eARC in a single day. I just had to know how the plot resolved!

Highly recommended for lovers of twisty thrillers.

Shay sees a lady throw herself in front of a subway car and struggles to get it out of her mind. She decides to go to a memorial for this lady and meets her friends, who become an important part of her life. Most aspects of her life seem to be coming together but are these new friends sincere and is she able to trust them? This was an intriguing plot and for a while I struggled to see where it was going until .....

I didn’t enjoy this as much as their debut novel and the plot was often far fetched to the point of the ludicrous. I really didn’t connect with the main character and so I found myself hoping that she didn’t find her way out of the mess she was in so it kind of spoilt my enjoyment of the book. Everyone else seems to have really enjoyed it so I feel bad but there was just a disconnect for me where I wasn’t gripped - 3.5 stars. Thanks to the authors, Netgalley and Macmillan for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I would firstly like to thank Netgalley and the publishers for allowing me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

While the first book by these 2 very talented authors is still my favourite, I still very much enjoyed this one.
Written from the perspectives of multiple characters, all incredibly written, the whole book never had a dull moment, keeping me constantly on edge wondering what was gonna happen next!
Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen are outstanding at writing stories that are original, fresh, intriguing and highly addictive, and this one is no different.
Secrets, lies, deceit, murder, mystery - what more could you want??
Absolutely can't wait to read more from these two!!

Once again these talented authors have written an exciting gripping & brilliant thriller. From the moment you begin this book it grabs your attention. The plot is fast moving & exciting with the final chapter leaving a very satisfying twist.

What a ride We meet Shay very early on when she witnesses a suicide in the subway and she is then the central character of the plot. She is the type of person that everyone knows the type, lacking in self confidence, lonely and simply a very plain Jane. Shay meets the Moore sisters and life changes for her in a seemingly positive way. The twists and turns are first rate right up to the very end.
Fantastic author.

My second book by this duo and yet again it is original and absorbing. Shay is unhappy, unfulfilled, doesn't have many friends and fancies her flatmate who is in a relationship with someone else. She witnesses a suicide which affects her deeply and her inability to walk away from it is the start of a whirlwind friendship which spirals. The twists and turns in this tale are twisted and disturbing and very clever. Shay is well portrayed and the statistics which pepper the story are interesting and original. Look forward to reading more by this talented pair.
Many thanks to Netgalley/Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen/Pan Macmillan for a digital copy of this title. All opinions expressed are my own.
