okay, so I picked up *You, Me, Her* because I needed something to read on my train ride home. Let me just say, I'm so glad I did! This book was totally addictive.

The plot is like a rollercoaster. Rachel, this seemingly normal girl, befriends Chloe, and everything starts to unravel. I was constantly guessing what was going to happen next, and the twists were *insane*.

I really liked the way Watson explored the characters' minds. It was like I was inside their heads, seeing everything from their perspective. The suspense was real, and I couldn't put it down.

There were a couple of parts where I felt like the plot moved a little too fast, but that didn't ruin the story. Overall, *You, Me, Her* is a must-read for anyone who loves a good psychological thriller.

This very much gave me Frieda McFadden vibes and made me enjoy this story. I love a thriller that has all the hints in your face and you still can't guess it!

I adored this book from Sue Watson. She’s one of my favourite thriller writers so going in I was excited to be back with her familiar writing style.

I loved everything about this book, the storyline, the characters and the brilliant story telling.

Although I guessed the rest I loved the lead up and conclusions and this one has gone into one of my favourites of her books.

A masterful psychological thriller that left me breathless. Great characters and surprises. This one had me reading well into the night. Another fantastic story from one of my favorite authors!

I love a good domestic thriller which uses location to its advantage. This book is one such example. A bunch of suspicious characters, personal motivations and red herrings make this an interesting read.

Thank you Bookouture and NetGalley for this e-arc in exchange of my unbiased review.

"You, Me, Her" by Sue Watson was a fun read. A psychological thriller full of lies, suspicions, and a final twist I didn't see coming. I will definitely be telling people to run to get this one. I am so glad I read it. It was just plot twist galore in the best way.

Honestly, I can't wait to look up more books by Sue Watson now.

Thank you NetGalley, Sue Watson, and Bookouture for gifting me this ARC opportunity.

This book was a little overly simply written. It came across overly dramatically written and the twists were too easy to figure it out.
I do think the author had a good premise so we'll give the book A three-star review.
Thank you to net Galley and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC

I can always rely on Sue Watson for a thriller to keep me up far too late. With tight plotting that kept me turning the pages and a twist I didn’t see coming, i would highly recommend You, Me, Her

I loved Sue Watson's previous works, however this one fell a bit short of the awesome meter mainly due to the protagonist Rachel - who had blinders on about her husband. Anyway, the ending twist was fantastic.

The plot is wonderful. The characters, sadly, don't have the same strength (3.5 stars)

I'll give the good news first. This book contains a wonderful, fast-paced and gripping storyline that effortlessly managed to keep me hooked from start to finish - and if you know about the few weeks I've had recently, you'll know that's no mean feat. In the beginning, everything seems so perfect for the main character Rachel, her husband Tom and their four-year-old son Sam, as they move into their dream seaside home in Cornwall. It's a little bit bittersweet for Rachel, because the home was paid for by her inheritance after the death of her father, but of course he'd have wanted her to have a happy new life.

But of course, if you've read any psychological thrillers at all, you'll know that something is going to go wrong at some point. And when something can go so horribly wrong from what initially seems so perfect as to be out of this world, the sense of loss is magnified and is all the better for it. The new home - almost a character in itself - seems everything Rachel had ever dreamed of and more - until one thing threatens to turn the dream into a nightmare. Tom seems like a loving and caring husband ... until his behaviour starts to suggest otherwise. And Chloe seems like the wonderful new friend that Rachel had been longing to make ... until she isn't any more.

I'm not done with the good news yet. I loved the ending. I hope it's not too much of a spoiler to say that there are the shocking final plot twists that other books contain, and then there's the one in this book. I started the final chapter feeling a sense of happiness and relief, only for it to turn to horror in the space of a single paragraph. It's fantastic.

However ... it's actually quite hard for me to write this next part of my review. Because I feel like, having placed Sue Watson on a pedestal with my majoring of her book's good points, I'm about to pull the rug from under her feet and give her the same horrible sense of loss that she made poor old Rachel suffer. But I'm afraid that I did have one or two problems.

Firstly - and call me picky if you will - I was a bit surprised at how annoyed I felt after reading that a journey home from Looe somehow involved turning onto the southbound M5 - something that, if you've ever been to Cornwall, you'll know is only possible if you make a detour of about 100 miles. Admittedly, this is only a small detail, but it's important because a psychological thriller loses a lot of its impact if it contains something, even a small thing, that leaves the reader with any sense of disbelief.

Secondly, and more significantly, You, Me, Her suffers from the same issue as The Split by S E Lynes that I read a couple of months ago. It relies on the characters having specific traits - specifically, Rachel being very naive and Chloe being, well, somewhat abnormal. The key difference though is that in The Split, Susie Lynes is careful to give each character enough of a back-story to make each character's actions believable. Unfortunately, Sue Watson hasn't done the same thing here. And the result is that characters that you need to be relatable, if not necessarily likeable, instead end up being frustrating.

This is even more of a pity because Rachel, in particular, has a great back story that I really wished had been explored in more detail. But instead, it almost felt as though it had been largely glossed over. Chloe's personal history is relayed by her in just a few sentences, which weren't enough for me to begin to understand her or even believe what she was saying. And I hope it's not a spoiler if I say that there's a third character whose motives aren't quite clear either.

It's actually taken me a while to think of a conclusion for this review, but here it finally is. You, Me, Her is wonderful if what you need, first and foremost is to be entertained by a storyline. But for me, a good psychological thriller is one that has me living inside at least one character's head. And I think that for this to have happened here, the characters driving the plot needed to have been given a bit more depth.

My thanks to the author, Bookouture and Netgalley for the digital ARC of this book, which was published on 3rd June 2024.

This is the best book I have read this year so far. The storyline was kept interesting and intense the whole way through, I genuinely had no idea where the story was going, I loved the writing style, it was such an easy read but kept you guessing till the last page!

Sue Watson is at her most chilling with her nail-biting new thriller, You, Me, Her.

Rachel has a lot to be thankful for. Married to her gorgeous husband Tom, she also has a son she adores and a life most people would give their right arm for. Having bought their perfect seaside home, Rachel cannot wait to join Tom and start their new life together in the house of their dreams – even if Rachel cannot shake off this feeling that all isn’t quite what it seems with her marriage. She knows that Tom isn’t being completely honest with her – and that he isn’t the only one in this marriage keeping secrets.

As Rachel begins to settle into her new home, she befriends Chloe and the two become very close. There is nothing Rachel enjoys more than shooting the breeze with her new friend over a long and boozy lunch. The only fly in the ointment for Rachel is that Chloe keeps prying into her marriage to Tom with her pressing questions. Tom has warned Rachel to stay away from Chloe and the way her husband looks at her friend is giving her cause for concern…

Have Tom and Chloe met before? Why did Tom want to move to the seaside? Is Chloe going to cause the end of her marriage? Or was her relationship built on a foundation of lies and deceit?

Sue Watson sure can write a complex, captivating and engrossing thriller that will keep readers turning the pages all through the night. You, Me, Her is a razor sharp exploration of a toxic marriage spiced with secrets, intrigue, danger and suspense full of shocking twists and turns readers simply won’t see coming. Chilling, unpredictable and jaw-dropping, Sue Watson’s You, Me, Her is a must-read for thriller fans.

I loved this book.. it’s such a page turner, couldn’t put it down. There are plenty of twists and turns all the way through with an excellent ending. The characters were great, the story itself was very enjoyable and suspenseful and the style of writing was perfect.
I have read many of this authors psychological thrillers, and I have not been disappointed. I can’t wait for the next book to be out. I would highly recommend this book and its author to anyone that enjoys reading this genre.
Thank you netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a honest review.

You, me, her was absolutely amazing. I was hooked immediately, I read this book in 6 hours! I could not put it down.

Another engaging psychological thriller from Sue Watson. A thriller that explores the complexities of trust, friendship, and deception within what seems to be a loving marriage.

Tom (You) and Rachel (Me) are married and live with their son Sam in a beautiful seaside home. What is perceived as a perfect marriage is in fact a family life full of secrets and lies. Rachel receives an inheritance from her father and despite being terrified of water they move from their Manchester home to a picturesque setting on the Cornish coast overlooking the sea. Rachel and four year old Sam stay in their apartment while Tom oversees renovations on their new home.

Chloe (Her) who is the only friend Rachel has made since moving and Tom hates Rachel spending time with her.

This novel is full of suspense and suspicion, Tom with his secretive behaviour and Chloe with her probing questions stirs intrigue when reading. As per normal there are lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing what is going to happen.

This book is perfect for readers who enjoy satisfying psychological thrillers with well developed characters and skilfully crafted plots.

I would like to thank both Netgalley and Bookouture for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

You, Me, Her is a mystery thriller that keeps the reader on edge till the end.

Though I must have read too many thrillers already, because from the very start of the book I could guess what was going on in the book or maybe I have read something similar.

Even then it kept me interested throughout the book. It never got boring the way it is written and almost all chapters ended on a cliffhanger so it made the story gripping.

Only thing that made me roll my eyes was Rachel the main character's engagement with Chloe even with all the red flags from the very start. It was unbelievably stupid most of the times even though I could resonate her thought process but the way she kept accepting reasons for other people's behaviour, not just Chloe but her own husband Tom was making me furious. How dumb you can be to trust people so easily and then when doubts arise, letting all the reasons go down the drain as soon as the person in front started getting angry? It was really getting on my nerves the whole time.

Book rating : 3.5 stars

Thank you Bookouture and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange of an honest review.

This was a spine-tingling thriller and one I highly recommend on adding to your TBR!
The twists and turns had me gripping my couch arms!!
Very grateful to have read this ARC and i'm well into my thriller girly reading era now

Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and author Sue Warren for the ARC and opportunity to review this book.

If you are looking for secrets, lies and betrayal this is the book for you. There was a point when I had no idea who was trustworthy, who was actually the victim and who was as the villain!

I loved the way the author built the suspense. It kept my attention and had me wanting to keep reading. There was so much secrecy and suspicion and that ending blew me away! I was NOT expecting that.

The character development was very well done. I hated Tom, totally felt for Chloe and my heart broke for the main character. The author did a great job with the mental health aspect.

This was a binge worthy page turner for me and I’m already looking for my next read by this author.

4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is my first book by Sue Watson. Reading the summary of this book had me intrigued and after reading I have become obsessed with Sue’s writing.

Thank you for allowing me to receive You Me Her as an ARC!

Rachel has inherited a huge amount of money and her husband Tom has convinced her to move from Manchester to Cornwall. Tom moves ahead of Rachel and their 4 year old son, Sam. Once Rachel moves down to Cornwall, the financial strain between her and Tom causes him to begin traveling again for work. Leaving Rachel lonely she begins to get closer to her realtor Chloe. Against Tom’s wishes Rachel and Chloe become friends.

The twist and suspense in this book were exactly what I was looking for. It kept me interested and intrigued the whole time.

You, Me, Her by Sue Watson is a thriller about a new couple who moved into their new home in the countryside. Rachel and Tom starts a new life with their 4 year old son in a bigger house after purchasing with Rachel's inheritance from her father. However, she is reunited with Tom only to realize he has built a big pool in their yard. Rachel is petrified of the water. Strange things also starts happening after she moves in. She just can't get over the fear that someone is in their home. Is her husband having an affair with their real estate agent, Chloe?

An inheritance, a real estate agent with keys to their house, strange shadows and a death...

While the story is fast-paced and entertaining to read, it is hard to ignore the red flags from the beginning. How Rachel can be so oblivious is beyond me. The main character and her naivety really make it hard for me to give any more than 4 stars for this book.

The ending is a definite shock factor but it was hard not to see from a mile away. After reading thriller after thriller, you tend to see this coming from authors.

Thank you to Netgalley, publisher Bookouture, and author Sue Watson for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.
