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.

Audiobook narration is really good and it helped me keep myself engaged throughout the ride.

Book rating : 3.5 stars
Audiobook : 4 stars

I'm not sure you can keep your enemy any closer than Rachel does in this gripping tale. Rachel is a trusting soul and with a husband that is often travelling for work and a best friend that lives far away, she is eager to make new friends in her new community. There is a shocking twist at the end that you will NOT see coming!

Wow, I really enjoyed this one. These types of domestic thrillers where you don't know who to trust or what each character's motives are, are my absolute favorite types of thrillers to read because they're so relatable in some ways but also make you realize how normal your own marriage is in comparison. I was completely sucked into this and read the book in a day. I thought the conclusion was such karmic justice and just absolutely perfect. This was one of my favorite thrillers I've read in a long time. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This one. Omg. Had me guessing the entire time. You think the title gives it away but it’s SOOOOO much more. Very clever writing BUT be aware this is NOT a murder mystery. It’s more a psychological thriller where a murder might happen WELL into the story. If you have a chance to listen to the audio, I highly recommend it. I am very excited to jump into the author’s back catalog.

Not what I guessed was going to happen. I enjoyed 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, but I couldn’t stop and loved those twists and turns. With thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for this ARC. My opinions are my own.

I loved this book and absolutely devoured it. The narrator in this book was absolutely perfect. Rachel, Tom and Chloe are all unbelievably human and that’s part of the reason I read this thriller in just a couple of days. A true psychological thriller, this is one I’ll be recommending. Thank you to NetGalley, Sue Watson and Bookouture for the opportunity to receive an ARC of this book.

Thank you very much to NetGalley for this ARC in Audio format of You, Me, Her By Sue Watson in exchange of an honest review.

This book ticked all the boxes required for a psychological thriller including a compelling protagonist which allowed myself as the reader to really emphasise with Rebecca throughout her journey/story.
I felt all the characters were superbly written and the author really captured the essence and individuality of each one.

There is nothing better when reading a book and you have that gasp out loud moment, which happened on more than one occasion while keeping me guessing right up to the end.

I felt this was appropriately paced with suspense and tension and I enjoyed the pending mystery of Rebecca’s past in the background as the story developed.

I was not familiar with the narrator before this but I will absolutely be looking out for more by Tamsin Kennard in the future as this was delivered so naturally with fantastic voice tone to create the perfect emotion for the characters.

"You, Me, Her" by Sue Watson is an exciting thriller. If you like action filled thrillers, check out this one.

Rachel finally joins her handsome husband, Tom, at the big fancy home they have purchased with her inheritance money. He's been refinishing the house for months while she has been in another town. They live in Cornwall, England, now. They have a four year old son named Sam.

On the first night that she is home, a woman lets herself in. Hmm! The woman is Chloe, and she seems overly friendly. Tom later tells Rachel that Chloe is dangerous.

Tom has a secret for Rachel that he's been building behind the garden wall. She is horrified when he shows her. This is just the start! This is the only thriller I've had a nightmare about just after reading it.

Just finished this audio book - it took me until the last five minutes to work out who 'her' was. And when I did it was a real 'wow' moment. There were bits of this audiobook that really annoyed me (the son's whiny voice springs to mind) and there were aspects didn't seem real to me (Rachel seemed incredibly naive and unquestioning; there were some real issues with the way the son spoke like a baby when he was supposed to be 4, and the fact that he had apparently been born in 2020 during the pandemic and had never been to nursery or had any friends to play with before he was 4). Overall, though I thought this was a gripping story, lots for the reader to question - and at the heart of it all, the biggest question was who was ever really telling the truth to Rachel?
Thanks to Netgalley for offering me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a solid thriller! Definitely had an ending I never could have predicted, a great listen if you are looking for a story to keep you on your toes

This was only my second audiobook but I thoroughly enjoyed! There were lots of twists and turns and it kept me guessing throughout the way, definitely wasn’t what I expected by the end! I was hooked from the start and wanted to listen on however, it was quite a long one and I did feel around the middle it was slightly slow. I wonder if i would have felt the same if I read the book rather than listened. Overall I have rated this a 4 and I would recommend it to a friend!

4/5 ⭐️ I enjoyed the book and at the same time I didn’t. For psychological thrillers, I enjoy being thrown off, and I knew who the “her” was early on. I also 100% cringe when the main character is so naïve. I kept yelling in my head “really Rachel the signs are all there, they’re making you sound crazy”. But overall it was a quick and enjoyable read.

Rachel loses her father and is left with a generous inheritance. Her husband Tom, buys a home for Rachel and their son Sam and they move in almost a year after renovations are complete including incorporating a pool when in fact, Rachel has a life fear of water. There is a lot of gaslighting and various moments that her husband isn’t who he says he is. But again the cringe moments come in and Rachel ignores the obvious facts around her. For some the endings might have a good twist, but unfortunately, I knew early on and it didn’t give me that same reaction but to others. I hope you enjoy this book a lot more because it is a good read!

I was able to get an advanced copy of both book and the audiobook and truly enjoyed both and my first time listening to narrator Tamsin Kennard and look forward to listening to many more!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for providing this AMAZING ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Sue Watson’s done it again. A masterpiece writer at her best. This, her latest psychological thriller, has several unreliable & suspicious characters. Like Rachel, I found several untrustworthy people in her life & then spied others as I read more! Filled with so many twists, Rachel’s world turned upside down. I couldn’t put this one down!

As soon as I heard the lovely voice of Tamsin Kennard, I settled in & couldn’t wait to have her read me a book I knew would be even better with her narrating it.

Thank you, Sue Watson, Bookouture, & netgalley for my audiobook! All opinions are my own.

Oh all the lies, deception and a stalker thrown into 1 great read! Rachel and Tom move out of the city using her inheritance to a dream home with a pool. Rachel begins having strange conversations and encounters with a lady at her son’s nursery school. This is only the “tip of the iceberg” of all the twists in this story. A fantastic read and an enjoyable audiobook!!

Disappointing. Rachel moves from Manchester to Cornwall for the house of her dreams. From the second she enters the house the plot becomes predictable. She constantly dismisses red flags and nobody can possibly be THAT naive. I spent most of my time shouting he's lying or she's lying or open your eyes at the narrator of the audiobook.
I really wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt but unfortunately it was a DNF for me!
