Thank you Bookouture and NetGalley for an early copy of You, Me, Her. First of all Bookouture has had sooo many winners lately and this one is one of the BEST!!! A true psychological that keeps you guessing what is the truth. A PHENOMENAL read, just Fantastic!!! I did kind of know who was the culprit but wasn’t really sure but when I found out I was still Flabbergasted. A very fast and Perfect read. One of Sue Watson’s Best books. Great characters, I felt I was right there witnessing all that happened. I’m sad it’s over, I just loved it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for providing this book, with my honest review below.
Sue Watson is such a talented author that I’m not surprised I absolutely loved You, Me, Her. This thriller definitely had some tropes but it was so creative and well written I was guessing throughout. I loved the setting in Cornwall, making the house that led to the move for Rachel and Tom a very vivid place I could easily imagine. This book also did a great job of leaving me questioning if Rachel was a little bit off, since I knew a lot of her concerns had to be real but combined with the mystery of what had her so scared with the water and unrevealed mental issues in her past, I did question her credibility a bit.
This had some great characters but even more so had some great twists. While I did anticipate the final reveal might turn out as it did, there was just enough suspense and smoke and mirrors that I wasn’t 100% sure, which was so engaging for me. Highly recommended for lovers of thrillers!

5 big stars for this one !!! I have read some of Sue Watson's thrillers, and they have been a hit or miss with me. This one knocked it out of the ballpark. I also see she writes romance, but I've never given those a try. This was one heck of a ride. Tom and Rachel move to a very large house on a cliff overlooking the sea. Rachel's father had passed away and left her a tidy inheritance. That money was used to buy the house and also for Tom for refurbish it. And refurbish it he did, using almost all of the inheritance money. The couple has a 4 year old named Sam. So they move in, sign Sam up for nursery school, and Rachel tries to adjust to the move. The first night she's there, the real estate agent, Chloe, comes right in, using an extra set of keys Tom had given her. Rachel doesn't know anyone else in town, so she does her best to m make friends with Chloe. And this is where the story begins. Tom warns Rachel that Chloe is dangerous. But Rachel likes her and the two start going on coffee meet ups and shopping.
This book has so many twists and turns and the incredible double, triple twist at the end. I had to sit in my chair and just say wow when the book was done. The writing was great, as was the description of the characters. Not all characters were meant to be liked, and I felt like yeeting Tom to the next town. Incredibly done thriller. I did not guess the ending, wasn't even close.
Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC. I greatly appreciate it. I highly recommend this book. It's a quick read that will get the heart rate up!

What a book this was I was gripped from the beginning until the end and was hooked in the storyline
I have followed this author since her first book and never been disappointed.but I think for me personally this is 'up there's as one of her best yet.
The ending was fantastic with everything explained and brought to a satisfactory conclusion, although the culprit was on my list with a few others.
Well done Sue a well deserved 5+ stars from me and I look forward to your next knicker gripper
Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for this fantastic ARC which I have no hesitation in recommending.

Fantastic! This is a stay up late, cuddle up in a warm blanket, and settle in for a day of reading kind of book, because you won’t be able to put it down once you start.
When Rachel inherits a lot of money from her dad, her husband convinces her to sink most of it into a beautiful home because it would be a good investment. Rachel must stay behind to sell their old home while Tom moves to Cornwall to begin renovations. Though Rachel is excited to finally move in with her husband, she is not so pleasantly surprised to see how luxurious her new home is and how much Tom has spent on it. But she is determined to be happy and make new friends. She can never quite settle in though because it appears she is being stalked and strange things keep happening. She is convinced her new friend, Chloe, is responsible and decides to end the friendship, though things are not always as they appear and Rachel must conquer her fears in order to keep her family safe.
The twists keep coming and the ending is superb. This book is great company for a night in, so pick yourself up a copy and enjoy. Thank you, NetGalley and Bookouture for the eARC.

Oh my goodness! I was so gripped by the universe created by Sue Watson that I read You Me Her practically in one sitting! It’s a tension filled book with very realistic characters and nonstop action. The story is not complicated, however you won’t be able to put it down until you reach the twisted ending. Rachel moves to a glorious new home in Cornwall which was renovated by her husband Tom while Rachel was still in their prior home with their four year old son. The money for the home came from Rachel’s inheritance. The first evening Tom and Rachel are both at the house, Chloe, the realtor, walks into the house with her own set of keys. Tom warns Rachel that Chloe is dangerous, but Rachel is lonely and still befriends her. Clearly something is very wrong with Chloe. Rachel relies on her good friend Rosa, from out of town, to stay with her for support. Everyone in this book has secrets. Why did Tom have a pool built when Rachel is afraid of the water? Is their son safe? What should be an exciting new beginning spirals out of control. Watch out for those twists and turns. I loved this book. With thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for this ARC. My opinions are my own. @suewatsonbooks

Wow. I started this book thinking it would be a fairly predictable and simple read. I was wrong. This book hands down has the biggest twist I've read this year! At first I thought Chloe was crazy, then I thought Rachel was crazy. But then I realised I was only half right Rachel was crazy, but that Rachel wasn't a character, she was me, the reader. I must be, to not see that ending coming at all! Though the start felt a little slow, I feel that it was actually necessary to draw you into the story, and for it to develop naturally so that you were truly captivated by the middle and ending. Definitely deserving of all five stars in my honest opinion!

🔖 You, Me, Her by Sue Watson
Pub date: Jun 3rd 2024
Genre : Mystery/Thriller
Rachel moves to Cornwall to join her husband Tom with their son Sam, seeking a fresh start in their new, expensive home. The move is fueled by the large inheritance Rachel received following her father's passing, promising them a life of financial security and improved prospects. However, as they settle into their new surroundings and encounter unfamiliar faces, Rachel soon discovers the disconcerting reality that in this new environment, trust must be placed solely in oneself.
📖: This is my first Sue Watson’s book so I didn’t know what to expect when I started reading. I really liked the prologue and first chapter, it made me ease well into reading.
One aspect of the book that I particularly admired was its exploration of family, marriage, money, and friendship. It kind of highlighted how evil can actually be in plain sight and to always trust your instincts.
However, as a thriller read, I found the pacing of the book to be slow, and it felt like it dragged on for an extended period. Unfortunately, the twists and turns in the plot were quite predictable, and I had already pieced together the entire storyline from the beginning. For me, the most compelling aspect of a thriller is the big reveal, which should leave me astounded, but in this case it just didn’t do it for me.
Thank you @netgallery for a Copy of this book.
Rating⭐️: 6/10

Having inherited a large sum of money, Rachel relocates to her husbands dream location in a beautiful house. Tom, her husband, spends months perfecting the house and Rachel and their 4 year old son Sam join him to reunite their family. From the moment Rachel moves to her new home, she becomes unsure of who to trust and who to believe. Can she trust anyone, even herself?
This book had me gripped from the first chapter. It is beautifully written, giving enough detail but also keeps the storyline moving throughout. There is twist after twist that I didn't see coming and the final twist was a complete shock. I had a fleeting thought about halfway through the book but quickly dismissed it until about 10 pages before the end! I couldn't read another book for a few days in order to process the quick-paced, enthralling read.
This is my first read by this author and I will definitely be looking at other books written by them if this is anything to go by! I can definitely see this being a top seller when it is released.

I have read every book from this author never disappoints.as usual.an addictive read. Rachel and Tom have bought their dream home in Cornwall. With the money her father left her Rachel, and her son are finally making the move from Manchester. she can't wait to be with Tom and get to see the work he has done. she loves it they are just sat down when a woman is in her kitchen her name is Chloe. when she leaves Tom tells her to keep away from her then strange things start to happen Rachel will have to watch who can she trust and watch her back a verry twisty read so recommend

I adore Sue Watson’s books and could not put this one down, reading it in a day. This book is a gripping psychological thriller. It’s tense, full of twists and devilishly dark. The plot is pacy and you’re drawn in from page one and kept enthralled until its dramatic conclusion. Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and the author for the chance to review.

This book was just okay. Rachel, the FMC, annoyed the hell out of me with her refusing to see and acknowledge ALL the red flags. Literally, EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. I’m all for being trusting, but I found myself telling Rachel to get it together and stop being delusional. The twists in the book were pretty predictable. And that ending? Nope.
To think all would’ve been solved by installing a secret camera.

Thank yku NetGalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to review an ARC of this book. I had no idea that it was technically part of a series following DI Gina Harte but I’m happy to say it worked well as a standalone and besides not knowing some references to her past I was still able to understand what was going on. This book was super well written and had me guessing all the way through as it continued to introduce more and more characters and scenarios. I had it figured out… partly, and then doubted myself as the story went on. The ending and epilogue threw me through a loop once a certain background story came to light. All in all a good read and I think I’ll be exploring the rest of the Gina Harte series!

This has to be one of Sue Watson's best and i read it far to quickly!
There are just enough characters so i found it easy to visualise them pretty quickly.
Some truly awful people and at times i wanted to shake the main character.
Plenty of twists and just when you think the story had ended there was a real shocker.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

I love Sue’s books, she’s such a great writer!! This is another fantastic thriller, it grabbed me from the first page. I loved it and read it in one sitting. So many twists and turns, I really was thrown!!! You must read it!

I AM LOST FOR WORDS!!!!!!!!!
Seriously!! What a bloody fantastic book. I swear this book will literally blow you away, the amount of twists is unbelievable! Each and every one of them are shocking! You definitely don't see them coming.
I must pick my jaw up off the floor....
This will definitely be a bestseller and I'll be making sure I recommend this book to everyone.. even if they don't read they must read this.
I'll be seeing this book next at the number 1 stop of the best sellers chart.

Back in the days I used to read only romcoms, but people change and so do tastes. This also meant I did not follow certain authors any more. Since a few years I am devouring thrillers. Can you imagine how happy I was when this brilliant author started writing this genre? I am so pleased to find her on my favorite authors list again.
Sue Watson is one of those writers you know will never disappoint. No need to read the blurb. Just read, shut the world out and enjoy. :)
Wanting more out of life is not a bad thing. It becomes a problem when they can not be satisfied with what they have and seem to want what does not belong to them. If you want what is not yours, you will encounter some obstacles. They just want to get rid ot them. It does not matter what they are or who they have to use to achieve their goal.
The big question is: who can you trust in this world?
Some people are very good actors. I started to see through one of them in the end and I was shocked to realise I was right. I wonder if you figured out who wore the biggest mask. :)
I am a big fan of this author and her amazing stories and this one also deserves a 5 star rating.
Thank you

Rachel inherited a lot of money after her father passed away.
Her husband Tom buys a house in Cornwall and spends a fortune on renovations, until the money is all gone.
When she moves into the house with their son, Sam,strange things happen. Sam talks about the lady that comes into his room.
Rachel befriends Chloe, but Tom does not like her, just as he doesn't like her best friend, Rosa. In fact, he doesn't seem to welcome anyone who takes Rachel's attention from him. However, there are three people in this marriage, but Rachel doesn't know it yet.
This is a creepy stalker novel. I felt that Rachel was far too trusting and did not take note of warnings, or recognize red flags.
Chloe is definitely mentally fragile, but Rachel seems intent on befriending her.
Well written, taut, tense and frightening.
However, I did figure out the ending.
Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read this book.

Enjoyable read! Great beach read option. Kept me engaged throughout. The twists however were predictable.
Thank you to author, publisher, NetGalley for advanced copy. This is an honest voluntary review.

Lies with danger and murder…secrets and red herrings…husband with wife and friend…triangle…trust and deceit…all of these combine to make a recipe for the story in this page turner. Written by a talented author, the novel reads like nonfiction at times. Thanks Netgalley
