You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks, Sarah Pekkanen
3.0

This book had some interesting moments, but it wasn’t the thrilling twisty book I was hoping to read. There’s one little reveal near the end of the book that felt like it came out of nowhere but wasn’t actually that surprising. Also, the entire plot is begging the reader to suspend disbelief and I just couldn’t. There were so many things that just weren’t realistic and they kept me out of the story a little. Plus the fact that the main character is far too stupid and trusting.
It also felt long, which a book under 350 pages usually doesn’t. That being said, some of my favorite thrillers are under 300 pages, so maybe this one could’ve used a little trimming.
I’d probably watch this as a movie and spend the entire time screaming at the main character.
