You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen

A special thank you to Edelweiss, Libro.fm Audiobooks, Macmillan Audio, NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an ARC/audiobook listening copy in exchange for an honest review.

In this frenzied new thriller from the dynamic duo of Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, witnessing a woman jump in front of a subway train proves to be more than just being in the wrong place at the wrong time—it could cost Shay Miller her life.

If Shay hadn't missed her train by mere seconds, she wouldn't have witnessed a suicide that completely changes her life.

Shay is lonely, barely making ends meet, and isn't doing much better the in relationship department. When she meets the charismatic and confident Moore sisters at the memorial service for the victim, she can't believe her luck—not only do they befriend her, but her life start to click in all other areas. But Shay is a pedant, recording statistics in a "Data Book," and things aren't adding up. You see, numbers don't lie, but the Moore sisters do.

In this provocative game of cat and mouse, Hendricks and Pekkanen prove once again why they are queens of the thriller.

Can I tell you how much I loved An Anonymous Girl and The Wife Between Us? This book is equally as mesmerizing, and I was gobsmacked! And I mean that in the best way.

The writing is of course BRILLIANT! You can tell that Pekkanen is a seasoned author and by extension, Hendricks' previous editing experience also makes her a great writer. As a duo, they are ah-mazing.

You Are Not Alone is layered and complex. I love the way they set the table and then yank the table cloth right out from under the reader without disturbing the plot that they've so masterfully crafted (which in my analogy, would be the dishes). Their attention to detail and pace is what really sets them apart in this genre.

Themes of revenge, and the allure of the unbreakable bond between sisters and friends propel the narrative. This makes for one of the most gripping thrillers I've read in a long time.
