Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and Claire Alexander for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.

'Meredith, Alone' is a book about a woman who becomes agoraphobic after a traumatising experience. She ends up cut off from her family, but still has her best friend, friend's she meets on advice websites, and a friend she's made through a charity. I absolutely loved Meredith's character development throughout this book; it's an accurate representation of how trauma can debilitate someone and how important the right support group is to help someone out of that hole.
