You are Not Alone - Hendricks, Greer and Pekkanen, Sarah

She read

I didn’t want to put this book down!!!

Shay Miller is lonely and has lost her job.  The one thing seemingly holding her together is her obsession with recording data. Each short chapter is introduced with an excerpt from her journal where she cites relevant (to the plot) statistics.   When she witnesses a woman her age throwing herself in front of a subway car, she identifies a bit with this lost sole and becomes obsessed with finding out more about her.

As the story progresses, important background is slowly revealed as the narrative switches among characters and moves back and forth in time. I don’t want to reveal too much more about this book, but if you like mind games, treachery, deception, twists, then you will love You are Not Alone.

By the way, I also loved Hendricks and Pekkanen’s prior psychological novel, The Wife Between Us.
