Review: You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks
The concept of You Are Not Alone is interesting and terrifying at the same time. It is a dark thriller that is believable and scary because the circumstances can happen to anyone. It is quite easy to see yourself in Shay’s shoes.
❀ Neurotic Main Character
Although, Shay is a relatable main character, she is a bit neurotic. She is obsessed with facts and statistics and researches everything around her. If that’s not enough, she also records all of this data in a journal. That being said, Shay is still likeable and it is easy to empathize with her situation.
❀ Lots of Side Characters
The book is told from multiple perspectives with a focus on Shay and the Moore sisters (Cassandra and Jane.) It is fascinating to watch the story unfold through these different points of view, however the one thing that I must say is there are lots of side characters. At times it is hard to keep track of them, but this didn’t affect my overall enjoyment of the story.
❀ A Dark Thriller
You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks is one to watch for if you enjoy a thriller that is on the darker side. The premise is one that is believable and scary. It is a fast-paced book that you won’t be able to put down once you start.
