🚇 You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½ 3.5 out of 5 stars

What do you get when you mix subway trauma, a Pinterest-perfect apartment, a mystery cult of girlboss vigilantes, and a protagonist who Googles way too much? Apparently, you get You Are Not Alone — a suspenseful, twisty psychological thriller that might make you side-eye anyone who's too friendly.

📚 The Premise

Shay Miller is a lonely data nerd in NYC with more bad luck than a broken umbrella during a hurricane. Her life takes a hard left when she witnesses a woman, Amanda Evinger, jump in front of a subway train. But here’s the kicker: Amanda locked eyes with Shay right before jumping. It haunts her.

And what does Shay do?
Therapy?
Self-care?
Nope.
She stalks Amanda’s life online and shows up at her memorial service. Like a normal person, obviously.

That’s where she meets Jane and Cassandra Moore, two hyper-polished, designer-label-clad sisters who seem way too interested in Shay’s very messy life.

🕵️‍♀️ SPOILER ALERT: Let’s Get Into It

Shay is slowly absorbed into the Moores' inner circle. Suddenly, she’s got:

  • A sleek new apartment she definitely can’t afford ✅

  • A fabulous job in publishing she didn’t even apply for ✅

  • A new boyfriend she didn’t swipe right on ✅

  • A full head-to-toe makeover that suspiciously makes her look like the recently deceased Amanda ✅✅✅

If your skin’s not crawling yet, it should be.

But our girl Shay isn’t totally clueless. She starts wondering why her new “friends” seem a little… murdery. As she digs, she realizes that Jane and Cassandra aren’t just stylish — they’re stylishly dangerous.

Turns out, the Moores and their girl squad have made a hobby out of befriending vulnerable women, extracting their traumas, and then going all Dexter on the men who wronged them. Think Mean Girls meets vigilante justice.

Amanda, sweet and naive, was in the group too — until she objected to killing a rapist named James. Amanda wanted justice, not murder. That hesitation? Fatal. She didn't jump in front of that train. Valerie — another member of the sisterhood of the traveling psychopaths — pushed her.

And get this:
Valerie isn’t just some rando. She’s actually the secret third Moore sister. And James, the rapist? Their stepbrother, who tried to assault Valerie back in high school.

So basically, this whole "helping women" thing was just a long con for a family revenge plot. You still with me?

🚨 The Climax

Shay teams up with a detective who's been watching the Moore sisters for a while. He finally believes her (after, you know, the usual disbelief and eye rolls).

We get a full-circle moment at the subway station where it all began. Valerie tries to shove Shay onto the tracks, but Shay — now full Final Girl mode — turns the tables and pushes Valerie in instead. The detective shows up in time to arrest Jane, Cassandra, and the rest of the feminist death squad.

Shay finally has her life back. Possibly her job. Probably some unresolved trauma. But hey — she’s not alone anymore.

🧠 Final Thoughts

You Are Not Alone is fast-paced, twisty, and has just the right amount of “Wait, what?” moments. While the plot gets a little wobbly toward the end (and relies heavily on conveniences), I had a lot of fun reading it.

If you like your thrillers with a bit of Heathers energy and a whole lot of female rage, this one's worth a weekend binge.
