This book by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen is so good! I have only read one other by this author pair and I think this is the best one yet! It is fast paced, great writing, likeable characters and twists and turns you will never see coming! I would highly recommend!
I received this ARC from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review

The fantastic writing team of Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen have done it again! I read YOU ARE NOT ALONE in one loooooong sitting because it was – in a word – unputdownable!
Shay Miller is at a crossroads in her life. The man she loves loves someone else, she needs to get a job and she’s just plain lonely.
One day she is about to get on a train to go to work when she witnesses a woman commit suicide. After that, Shay’s life changes in every way possible.
Obsessed with finding out more about the woman who took her own life, Shay embarks on a series of bad decisions that lead her to befriend friends of the deceased woman. Suddenly, Shay doesn’t feel as lonely or pathetic as she did before witnessing the suicide. Her life begins to look up – she gets what she thinks is a great job, a new apartment, and a makeover. Unfortunately, none of those things are of her own volition.
Told in revolving points of view and with flashbacks and flash forwards, this book will keep you on the edge of your seat rooting for Shay. The ending – which I won’t divulge because I hate spoilers - was perfect!
Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin’s press for a sneak peak at what is surely going to be one of the top books of 2020.
5 well deserved stars!

I was able to read this excellent book thanks to NetGalley. I was thrilled to get the opportunity to read this new book from amazing authors. It did not disappoint me!
Shay is a lonely single woman who is in love with her live in roommate (who has a serious girlfriend) and works temp jobs after getting laid off. One day she witnesses what appears to be a suicide and she cannot help but research the woman. This opens her to a whole new group of friends led by Cassandra and Jane. We know right away they have sinister intentions.
This book was extremely fast paced and exciting. It has one of the best twists at the end of any book I’ve read. I will highly recommend it to all friends and family. Thanks again to NetGalley.

This was my first read by this duo and I can not believe my luck in being approved for this arc!
What a ride ! I couldn’t put this book down and I wanted to crawl into the book and help my girl Shay!
Shay Miller is a single 31 year old who is not having the best of luck in her life . To add to that , she witnesses a violent suicide and becomes obsessed with finding out about the victim .
She manages to attend the memorial service and catches the eye of Cassandra and Jane , friends of the deceased !
Feeling lost , Shay finds herself being taken under the sisters wings and all of a sudden her luck seems to be shifting ! Are the sisters as genuine as they seem to be or are they somehow trying to transform Shay into someone else to protect themselves ? It is Shay hiding the truth ???
I love the way it was written and how we get to see what each character is thinking 🤔 . What I loved is that even though I, as the reader , knew exactly what was going I found myself questioning what was happening !!! I love when the story takes me somewhere where I’m left scratching my head and wondering where I missed something !?
Twists, turns, betrayal and secrets!
I highly recommend this book and I’ve already bought another of this duo’s book !!!! So happy to have discovered new authors to explore and love !

Thank you St. Martin’s Press and Net Galley for an early copy of this phenomenal book! These two writers are an amazing team. This is the third book I read from them and I cannot wait for the fourth!!! Could not put it down.

I did not want this book to end! You Are Not Alone was filled with twists and turns and I could not get enough! The alternating viewpoints were well done and revealed insight into the characters' motivations. My only complaint was that I wanted to know more about the side characters' backstories. Those chapters were interesting looks into their lives, but I wanted to know more. I guess that speaks to the storytelling since I was disappointed that the book was finished. This was a compelling read and I definitely recommend it!

Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen do it again! Another fantastic thriller!! They just keep getting better and #YouAreNotAlone is a must read.
Shay is kind of floundering when it comes to life. The man she likes/lives with has a girlfriend, she just lost her job, and her circle of friends is not where she would like it to be. Then she witnesses a tragedy and while it shakes her to her core, good things start happening to her. She meets new friends who help her turn her life around. A new apartment, job and fantastic new guy! How could such a tragedy be the cause of all this happiness in her life? Perhaps things can be too good to be true....
I loved this book.. The characters, the plot, the twist, the writing. It was a quick read, because I just wouldn't put it down. This is going to be a hot read for 2020.
Thank you to @Netgalley and @StMartinsPress for an eARC of this book!

Such a great read. It kept me interested through the whole book and I did not see the ending coming, which I usually do. It's an easy and entertaining thriller that is not too convoluted or creepy. 4.5 stars.

You Are Not Alone was incredible! What a thriller! I loved it. It is a well written and riveting psychology mystery. Twenty two seconds is all it takes for Shays nightmare to begin but she doesn’t yet know what a nightmare it will become. The story revolves around several main characters and their relationships. The layout of the story was masterful. The mystery builds and builds as the story moves along. I read the book in one sitting because I needed to know how it ended and why the plot took the turns that it did. This was an extraordinarily unique concept for a thriller and there were twists and turns that I really didn’t see coming! I was completely blindsided! I loved it and I will definitely recommend this one! I would like to thank Netgalley, the publisher and the author for providing me with an advance reader copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion of this book.

If you enjoy psychological thrillers you should definitely read this book!
I read (and loved) The Wife Between Us and An Anonymous Girl so when I had the opportunity to read the latest book by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen I immediately jumped at the chance. This book did not disappoint. Once again, the plot grabbed my attention right from the start and I immediately liked main character, Shay Miller, while also feeling sorry for her (job issues, lack of a romantic relationship, etc.) Shay is a data-obsessed woman (she keeps a journal with various data-related facts and statistics) who witnesses something horrific. Her being in the wrong place at the wrong time, along with her actions immediately before and after witnessing the tragic event results in a chain reaction that leaves her reeling, and wondering who she can really trust.
Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for providing a copy for review.

This was my first novel by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen and I had a great time with this upcoming thriller. I did not see the twist coming and I had to keep reading to find out what happened next. I recommend checking it out! Review to come soon!

My inner dialogue as I read A Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen book go something like “Oh, Oh No, No... NO!” I have loved this writing duo since a close friend said I had to read The Wife Between Us. Their latest book, You Are Not Alone, does not disappoint. It has all the psychological twists and turns that make you need to talk to a friend about what you just read. After witnessing a suicide in the New York Subway, Shay Miller takes stock of her life. A dead end job, no romantic interests (that are reciprocated) and no close friends she wonders if her life parallels the poor woman Amanda Evinger. As her thoughts about the dead woman become obsessive she finds more ways their lives intersect, or they seem to... what really happened to Amanda? I really must have all of my book friends read this book and discuss! Lol. I received an ARC of this book, all opinions are my own.

Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free, electronic ARC of this novel received in exchange for an honest review.

Shay is living in New York with her best friend, who she is secretly in love with, who just told her he has found the love of his life (and it’s not her). She is also estranged from her mother and has few friends, and with a temporary job filling in the gaps, she feels untethered. Until she meets the Moore sisters. Cassandra and Jane are everything Shay isn’t; classy, beautiful, successful and brilliant. So why would they want to befriend Shay? As Shay continues to spend time with the Moore sisters, she begins to realize first-hand their influence; she cements a deal on a wonderful apartment in New York, she secures a permanent job and she even has started dating. But soon she starts to question the Moore sisters’ real intentions—why exactly did they choose Shay? What do they want from her?
“You Are Not Alone” is the newest novel from author duo Sarah Pekannen and Greer Hendricks, and I’m sorry to say, it isn’t their best.
Shay is desperately lonely and clings to the Moore sisters like a life raft- desperate for anything to save her from drowning. However, once the twist occurs, Shay becomes a completely different character; one who is brave, resilient and self-reliant (and much more likable!). There are other characters in the little circle of friends that are mentioned but are really not relevant, as they serve no purpose to the story or the plot. Without giving away spoilers, I wonder what happened to Daphne? Was she purposely set up with James or did that just happen by random accident? A lot of the extraneous characters end up this way- they are mentioned at the beginning and a plot point is started, and then dropped. But what’s worse about it is that the reader doesn’t even realize they’ve disappeared, because they are so irrelevant to the storyline.
Although the plot was intriguing enough for me to want to continue reading, the plot twist has been done in a million books and soap operas before (although I did not predict the ending, so it gets bonus points for its surprise factor, even though it loses in creativity).
Overall, I expected more from this writing duo but “You Are Not Alone” has some entertaining plot points that will keep you reading, and (eventually) Shay becomes a character you want to root for.

Greer and sarah once again do not disappoint! Fast paced, always keeping you guessing and that crazy twist is what makes their books some f my favorites to recommend to my customers and fellow booksellers!

If you ever find yourself thinking, hmm... I would love to be included in that group of girlfriends, they look lovely and we would have great times together, just read this book and then you'll realize you're much better off by yourself. Or maybe you'll just learn the lesson in the phrase, let sleeping dogs lie. That's about all I can say without giving away anything.

Greer Hendricks is solidifying her spit in my favorite author roster more and more with every book of hers I read! This one was suspenseful, mysterious, engaging... all the good thriller words... also relatable to a 30 something woman. Keep me coming please!

Shay Miller has no job, no apartment and no love interest. She is interested in data. She witnesses a young woman's suicide by throwing herself in front of a subway train. Shay is afraid that she may end up just like Amanda Evinger. She joins forces with Amanda's friends, Cassandra and Jane Moore, who seem to have their life together. She soon finds her life getting better and better but at what price?
This book immediately grabbed a hold of me and did not let go until the very surprise ending. I found the characters well-developed and very interesting. The plot was fast-paced with lots of twists that kept me glued. I have read the authors' other two books but this one is so amazing. I loved Shay's data at the beginning of the chapters and I do believe this was her saving factor. I can't wait to read their next book and I highly recommend this book, if you are a fan of psychological thrillers.This was my last 2019 read and I would have to say it is my best read of the year. I would like to thank NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for a free copy for an honest review.

I started reading this book late one night, read until 2:00 a.m., slept with my Kindle, reached for my Kindle as soon as I woke up. I even missed my morning swim as I could not wait to finish to find out what happened.
The story depicts how a traumatic experience, coupled with loneliness and a desire for friendship can cause a rational, smart individual to lower their guard and be easily manipulated. The story flips between the past and present, with numerous plot twists.
It was a gripping read and at times I wanted to scream at Shay. I was happy when she finally started to figure what was going on and begin to take action. I will not go into additional description to prevent spoilers.
This is the first book I am reading from the authors but it will not be my last. Highly recommend!

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review. I loved a good thriller and You Are Not Alone did not disappoint. I enjoyed the characters, the storyline and the plot twist. I read this book in two days because I just couldn’t put it down. These authors are not new to me and I will continue to seek out their books as I have loved them all. Add this to your TBR, you will not be disappointed..

This was a fast paced story where the reader knows what is going on long before the protagonist figures it out. It centers on Shay, a lonely woman in NYC who happens to be in a subway station when the person next to her on the platform jumps to her death. Shay has trouble dealing with this, and ends up meeting the dead woman's friends at the memorial service. Jane and Cassandra Moore are sisters and they pull Shay into their orbit, when she finally feels wanted and included, but is getting overly involved in the life of the girl who died on the subway platform.
I spent much of the book going back and forth between being frustrated by Shay and feeling sorry for her. I found her to be awfully gullible, though she did start figuring out the things that don't seem right that the reader already knew. I did like the references to the data/statistics throughout the book, and thought that was an interesting addition. I spent much of the book thinking that the Moore sisters were taking things a little too far for what they were ultimately trying to do, but as I got closer to the end of the book realized the stakes were much higher than I initially thought.
I'd recommend this book to those who like the psychological thriller genre- it does not disappoint! Thanks to Netgalley for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
