Reviews with content warning for Rape - You Are Not Alone

Hendricks and Pekkanen’s writing flows pretty well but it’s exhausting to be stuck in the perspectives of someone so obnoxiously naïve (dumb), and another whose only trait is being manipulative.

also don’t feel bad for that mf

Entertaining audiobook, definitely did not know the plot (or guess it), and I enjoyed listening to this one quite a bit. The readers were fabulous.

I always enjoy books from this duo, but I never rate them highly. A lot of characters felt disposable in this book, probably because they were sort of treated like that by some of the main characters. These same supporting characters were a little flat/one note. The short flashbacks to capture their raisin d’être very much felt like ones you’d see on TV. But unfortunately, without the constant visual reminder of the screen, I often found myself asking who was who. So while the plot is character driven, most of the characters lack dimensionality so I found myself caring little about the outcome.
