These women write the most incredible, detailed, unusual stories! In this latest, Hendricks and Pekkanen have once again provided a glimpse behind the dark curtain of female "friendship" and offered up a thriller that is complex, populated by fabulously detailed characters full of charming menace - even (especially?) when they're at their most charming and least menacing... The authors have an uncanny knack for dissecting the insecurities that so many of us embody and finding a way to play with those fears and self-doubts until the reader doesn't know which end is up. It makes for delightful reads that travel a serpentine path toward resolution. There were a couple of twists I did not see coming - which always happens in their books - and the things I did see were still played out so subtly and well that I didn't mind congratulating myself for noticing them. If you like your thriller-mysteries intricate and thoughtful, a great place to start is with a Hendricks/Pekkanen!

The two authors of You Are Not Alone have written another great book. I like their style and ability to juggle characters and timelines that gives the reader more information without revealing what is to come. They are adept at describing the motivation behind the actions that gives a richness to the characters. The story held my interest from beginning to end.

Shay's life in New York City is not going well and when she witnesses a suicide in a subway station she wants to learn more about the woman because she worries that it could have been her. What she finds is more than she ever imagined, the woman's glamorous friends befriend her and Shay's life starts to turn around. But is it too good to be true? Are they really her friends or is there something else going on? A twisty story that kept me reading.

Such an interesting story. From the beginning until about 80% (maybe sooner)...I had no idea where this story was going. I enjoyed the characters and their relationships. I felt the main character was frustrating in the decisions she made...while her behavior can be partly understood because of the horrific experience of seeing someone kill themselves right in front of you...but her actions and decisions got to be a little much. But overall I was definitely engaged in the story.

This was an okay read. But only okay. I had a difficult time getting into the main plot of this book. The storyline was not a good flow for me. The characters uninteresting and the mystery sparse.

I am struggling to get through this book. I am not fully engaged and I am already on page 100. I am going to take a DNF on this one...everyone loves her books but I have yet to be wowed by this author. Perhaps I will find the will to finish and update this review. Until then, thank you net galley for the ARC anyways!

I loved this one! Thank you for approving me to read it.
Three reasons you should read this book:
1. Full of revenge. For anyone who crosses in the wrong path.
2. Twisted trio of sisters.
3. It will make you shocked. It will make you stay awake and want to read to know what the hell happens.

This is the third book that I have read by the author duo of Hendricks/Pekkanen. All of their books are thrillers, but "You Are Not Alone" has become of my favorite. All I can say is that I had an extremely difficult time putting the book down. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Five stars all the way. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

After witnessing a horrible incident, Shay begins to look at her own life. She’s sharing an apartment with a male roommate that’s beginning a serious relationship with someone else, she doesn’t have a steady job, no real friends and no love life. After the fabulous Moore sisters take her under their wing, Shay thinks her life is about to change for the better. But what comes next is beyond anything she could imagine. A must read thriller!

Top notch book! I loved the suspense and all the different aspects of the characters. They were all well written and relatable. As I was reading I knew something was 'up' and continued to make a variety of guesses. There are SO many ways I could spoil the book, so my review will be short! Major twists and turns that you do not see coming and some that you will!

Not many books surprise me, but this one definitely did. I feel that the characters were well developed and I could understand their backgrounds. I greatly enjoyed this book and it kept me guessing.

I spent most of this book trying to figure out what the heck was going on in it. This kept me intrigued but I'm not sure it was all worth it. I wanted to know what was going on but I'm not sure I ever really figured it out. I think the book had an overall good premise but I'm not sure it came fully to fruition. Something about it has left me unsatisfied by the story overall.

This is one of those unputdownable (I made up a new word) books that will have you biting your nails right up until the end. Shay is such a sympathetic character that you will find yourself rooting for her from the very beginning. It also has a twist that was so perfect. I can't say too much because I don't want to give anything away but you have to read this one. This pair has never let me down and the streak is still going.
Thanks to St. Martin's Press for an advance copy of this book.

This book will not disappoint. It started off with a bang and just took off!! The story was great and I did not figure it out!!! Kept me entertained!!!

I will always always be the first in line to read these authors. I loved The Wife Between Us and An Anonymous Girl, so when I saw You are Not Alone was coming out, I had to have it! You are Not Alone kept me hooked and interested from the first chapter to the last.
Shay Miller is the protagonist of the book who witnesses a stranger's suicide at the subway station. She half-attempted to stop the jumper, but she was unsuccessful. The only thing left of the crushed young woman is a necklace which Shay absentmindedly puts into her pocket. That necklace will lead Shay into a very dangerous and unexpected world of women and secrets. These women become the friends she's always wanted and she feels they are her comfort and salvation and pathway to a new and beautiful world. I will not spoil whether or not Shay is correct, but I will say that I felt a great deal of empathy for Shay. I think everyone has insecurities and longs to be accepted and part of a group. I felt Shay ignored some obvious red flags in the name of acceptance.
I have enjoyed all of their books, but I enjoyed this one the most. I recommend it and enjoyed it very much!

Another great thriller by Hendricks and Pekkanen. Readers will enjoy the twists and turns and be on the edge of their seat throughout the book.

Another gripping thriller from Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, authors of The Wife Between Us and An Anonymous Girl; these authors will once again keep you guessing and definitely flipping pages to discover what happens next. In this novel, Shay, a lonely New Yorker, witnesses a young woman jump in front on a subway. She soon finds herself befriending the woman’s best friends, two glamorous sisters, and their involvement in her life suddenly brings about changes to Shay’s life, including a new job and new digs. But not all is as it seems as the authors bring the reader on a fun, yet paranoid, ride, exploring how Shay’s life changes due to the sisters’ influence.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the ARC.

I finished You Are Not Alone in just over a day - thank you Net Galley for the advanced copy! It was a fast paced and fun read from the author duo of The Wife Between Us and An Anonymous Girl, two really solid thrillers that did not disappoint me. I will honestly say that I found those previous two more gripping, their twists and turns more exciting and unexpected, but You Are Not Alone did have one revelatory plot twist at the end that left me happily satisfied in the way only books of this genre - that are solidly written and well-plotted - can do. At this point I would read most anything by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. Thrillers and psychological suspense is an oversaturated genre but they consistently deliver solid books in the category. I would give this 3.75 stars.

I loved this psychological thriller. You Are Not Alone explores the infinite human psyche of girls friendship. I recommend this excellent page-turning suspense.

👀 👀 👀 👀 A terrific, intriguing thriller — I think the best so far from Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pennanen. I knew absolutely nothing about the plot before diving in, and I think that’s the best way to approach this book.
But briefly...the story kicks off with a down-on-her-luck 30-something woman named Shay witnessing a tragic suicide on a NYC subway platform. That bit of bad luck sets off a chain of events that is really best uncovered in the pages of the book, but I found the journey and payoff to be worth it.
The fast-paced story is told in alternating viewpoints as is typical of these authors, and had me guessing up until the very end. I think fans of their other work will be drawn in and devour this latest title.
