This is the third psychological thriller from Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen, and it’s my opinion that it was just not as good as the first two. That’s not to say it wasn’t good; just not as good. The big reveal didn’t feel all that big, and the ending felt a bit rushed. However, it’s a very enjoyable read and 100% worth your time.
Shay Miller witnesses a young woman, about her age, commit suicide by jumping in front of an oncoming subway train. From there she meets sisters Cassandra & Jane Moore, and her life pretty much immediately spirals out of control. Unfortunately there’s not much more I can say re: the plot without ruining the reader’s experience, so here are some fairly vague observations/opinions:
– If you’ve read this author duo’s previous two titles, then you’re familiar with their writing style, and you’ll be happy to know that this style continues in You Are Not Alone. I appreciate that they have a particular style that they stick with.
– I felt like it took far too long for Shay to realize what was happening to her. It also took far too long for any motives to be revealed.
– The cast of women is intriguing. Except for Jody. Jody’s a bitch.
– Sean, the lone male character, is a complete non-committal, whiny afterthought. It’s possible that’s how the authors wanted him to come across. Mission accomplished.
You are not alone: Is it a promise, or a threat?
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review!
