As much as I tried I just couldn't get into this book.  I foind it very hard to follow what was happening and it also was very slow getting started and I just couldn't stay interested in the book. 

Not a badly written book just not the one for me.

Try as I may, I couldn't get into this book. The plot felt very repetitive & there was nothing new happening until the very end. When downloading this book I thought this was about a stalker and was excited to see what new devious way of stalking would be unleashed.

As a thriller, the story is compelling and an excellent one with many twists and turns that many people will appreciate, but unfortunately I wasn’t sold on it.

I enjoyed this creepy unreliable narrator story. I think fans of You would enjoy this gender role reversal. I ALWAYS enjoy books where the MC works in a bookstore. Probably because that's my dream job. I thought Fran's character was very well-written. 

As the story progresses, the reader learns that Fran isn't the only one who is obsessed. There are many secrets between the various characters, and it was fun to uncover them. 

I did find the beginning a bit slow, and therefore it took me a long time to read this book all the way through. The ending is worth the wait, though!

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books for providing me with a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Despite her oddness, Fran was an interesting character.  I was still able to like her, although I may be in the minority on that one.   Raynor did a wonderful job of intertwining the two mysteries and I found both mysteries to be equally compelling. The pacing was perfect and the conclusion was satisfying and somewhat shocking.

You and Me was so delightfully twisted, I could not stop reading.

I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and just when I thought I knew what was happening, everything changed. 

At first, Fran seems like the most twisted character we're likely to meet...but that gets proven wrong by the end. 

There are so many details that go into each chapter - it really was a whirlwind for me to read...and I enjoyed every second of it.

Fran, Ellie, Charles, Fiona and every other character we meet each has their own unique role to play, And as much as I didn't want to, I was rooting for Fran in the end. 

If you like suspenseful page turners, I'd recommend this to you.

Although this book starts off relatively slow, as the story progresses and the pace ramps up, it an absolute page turner. 
I loved the authors writing style and the ways in which it brought the characters to life. You could feel the emotions that the characters were experiencing, and the suspense often had me on the edge of my seat.

A brilliant thriller, and a book I would highly recommend.

Great book!  Couldn’t wait to read it, and it didn’t disappoint!  Grabbed my attention within the first two chapters, and then I didn’t want to put it down.  Excellent character development - I think that every reader will find a character to whom they relate.  I enjoy books where there is character development, and then also a surprise, and this book provided both!  Looking forward to reading more from this author!

This book sucked me in from the beginning! It was a little slow building up but I devoured it in less than 24 hours.

Stick with it the ending is worth the lagging start.

You and Me by Nicola Rayner
Rating 4.3/5
An evenly paced novel, picks up speed and hits with a wallop of an ending. Recommended.
Francesca Knight, is a solitary spinster who has settled to working in a bookshop, she has an obsession. His name is Charles.
Fran met Charles at boarding school. Not a happy period in her life, she was lonely and lived in the shadow of her younger, prettier sister, Elle. 
There are a number of twists and turns; not everyone is who they appear to be and then the novel takes on a creepy, sinister pace. A page turner, be prepared to be shocked. 
If You and Me ever makes it to the screen, there is a perfect English comedian and actress who would be superb in the lead role. 
Thank you to Nicola Rayner, Avon and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book. In return I have written an honest and unbiased review.

I enjoyed this book. I didn't relate to the characters, however that didn't stop me liking the story. It was wonderfully written and well thought out. Would recommend.

This is a solid thriller. A story following Fran and her inability to let go of certain aspects of her past and coming to terms with her current relationship with her sister. That is as much synopsis as I will give as I am a firm believer in going into any thriller completely blind. 

This was fast-paced, intriguing, easy to read and became a little bonkers towards the end (in a good way). I definitely enjoyed this read and all the twists it delivered. It has been a while since I have read a good thriller such as this one. 

The only reason I am knocking off a star is I felt that Juliet was a loose end that was never tied up. She played a prominent part in the story and then poof, we as the reader never hear from her again in the last bit of the story. I wish more detail had been delivered in terms of Fiona and Charles. I felt what the reader receives is quite abrupt. The huge plot twist happens and then the end. I would have liked to have delved into the psyche of Fiona and Charles a little more.

I quite enjoyed this audiobook, I found the premise interesting, but I found the protagonist quite hard to relate to and, therefore, sympathise with. To be honest, I didn't really like any of the characters in the book, which made it hard for me ti invest in the story. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't brilliant either and it would not be top of my books to recommend in this genre.

It took a while to get into this book, so I thought I wouldn't enjoy it. Thankfully I persevered with it, and I'm glad I did. The story unfolded gradually throughout, with lots of twists and turns to keep me guessing. The end was a huge surprise.

Fran followed her obsession, Charles, everywhere, and one day, she saw him at the station with Dickie, who fell to his death. But was it an accident?
At the funeral, she saw some people from her past. Memories from the past slammed into her and caused her to rethink the things she thought she knew. 
My first book by this author, I was quite taken in by Fran. She was different from the other main characters recently read. I liked how the author intertwined the mystery and also factored in Fran's relationship with her sister. The chapters slowly revealed the truth and made this an interesting read. I got the opportunity to listen to the audio version of this book and quite enjoyed it.

the plot grabbed me, hook, line and sinker. I really connected with the character of Fran. The pace of the book was great and the ending was superb. I will definately be reading other books of Nicola's.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.  I am a huge fan of psychological thrillers and let me tell you this one did not disappoint.  I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened until the very last page.  If you are looking for a book that you can't put down then this is it!  I can't wait to read more books by this author!

Fran, or ‘Freaky Fran’ as her schoolmates called her back in the day has always been a bit of a misfit. She appears to be quite obsessed with an ex schoolmate Charles and also with her sister a bit..  
while watching Charles on the station one day Fran witnesses another ex classmate being killed on the tracks which leads her getting close to Charlie and others. 
The dynamic between the characters is quite uncomfortable at times and Frans narration adds to the sense of her awkward character.
 I enjoyed the book and would read more of her books. It started off a little slow but increased the pace around 1/3 of way through. 

Thanks to NetGalley, Avon books UK & the author for an ARC of this book.

I have a hard time following two mysteries at once, but this one was well-written. I actually, like it seems most people have agreed, enjoyed this book way more than her first! It’s not something I would read again, but had great thrill and great story telling!

Unfortunately, I was unable to finish this book. I just found myself having difficulty staying connected to the characters and the plot.  I really wanted to like it... just wasn’t my taste

Thank you Netgalley for a honest review. I felt so sorry for Fran living with memories of being bullied and to then to discover some very disturbing truth about the only person she remembers being kind to her. Found this gauntlet sad.
