Publisher Description
From Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, the authors of the top ten bestseller The Wife Between Us and An Anonymous Girl, comes You Are Not Alone - a gripping novel about a group of women who appear to have the perfect lives, but all is not what it seems . . .
Shay Miller has three strikes against her: no job, no apartment, no love in her life. But when she witnesses a perfectly normal looking young woman about her age make the chilling decision to leap in front of an ongoing subway train, Shay realizes she could end up in the same spiral. She is intrigued by a group of women who seem to have it all together, and they invite her with the promise: "You are not alone." Why not align herself with the glamorous and seductive Moore sisters, Cassandra and Jane? They seem to have beaten back their demons, and made a life on their own terms - a life most people can only ever envy. They are everything Shay aspires to be, and they seem to have the keys to getting exactly what they want.
As Shay is pulled deeper and deeper under the spell of the Moore sisters, she finds her life getting better and better. But what price does she have to pay? What do Cassandra and Jane want from her? And what secrets do they, and Shay, have that will come to a deadly confrontation?
You are not alone: Is it a promise? Or a threat?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
With You Are Not Alone, Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen—the genius writing team behind The Wife Between Us—create a whole new subgenre: Millennial Noir. Their mystery-thriller revolves around Shay, a socially awkward and painfully lonely young woman who’s obsessed with statistics. From her dead-end job to her unrequited crush, Shay’s entire world is in shambles…until she meets Cassandra and Jane, two beautiful, successful sisters who invite her into their tight circle of friends. But even as Shay’s social outlook improves, we could sense something sinister creeping in. Each head-spinning plot twist pulls us deeper into Cassandra and Jane’s world of glamour and manipulation and causes us to question who’s innocent and who’s evil. With its breakneck pace and clever explorations into the role of data in our lives, You Are Not Alone is the ultimate thriller about 21st-century life—and death.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of this entertaining yet shallow psychological thriller from bestsellers Hendricks and Pekkanen (The Wife Between Us), lonely temp Shay Miller watches in horror as a stranger, Amanda Evinger, commits suicide by throwing herself off a Manhattan subway platform in front of a moving train. The distraught Shay, who becomes fixated on Amanda, tracks down the young woman's address and shows up at her memorial service. Shay's presence attracts the attention of glamorous sisters Jane and Cassandra Moore, whose inner circle of women included Amanda. Jane and Cassandra worry that somehow Amanda confessed to Shay that the women are involved in a kind of vigilante justice in which they inflict revenge on people who may have wronged one of them. Though the story doesn't delve deep into the characters, the strong plot generates plenty of tension as the sisters befriend Shay and set about remaking her life all the better to spy on her. Though not up to the standard of the authors' previous books, this one's sure to please suspense fans.
