Book: You Are Not Alone
Fiction/Nonfiction: Fiction
Author: Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen
Have I Read This Author Before: No
One Sentence Summary: Shay witnesses a young girl who jumps to her death in front of a subway train and then becomes involved with two women who want to find out what she knows about the girl’s death, leading to suspicions on all sides
Best Thing About the Book: Multiple things but mostly, The Title! Is it Comforting, or is it Ominous??
Worst Thing About the Book: While there are some surprises as to how things work out, the question of “what really happened” was answered pretty early for me
Did it Make Me Keep Reading: Yes, the characters were interesting and I wanted to see what would happen to them
What I Learned: Shay is an analytical person who gathers data so her narrations often begin with statistical facts, i.e. suicide attempts on NYC subways, depression, and missing persons
The Bottom Line: I’m always interested in books written by two people. This was an interesting story but not a can’t-put-it-down psychological thriller
Would I Read This Author Again: Yes
