Forget You Know Me: A Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
The next "masterful" (Publishers Weekly) novel from "the gifted Jessica Strawser" (Adriana Trigiani), hailed as "immensely satisfying" (Kathleen Barber) and "that book you can't put down" (Sally Hepworth). A video call between friends captures a shocking incident no one was supposed to see.
The secrets it exposes threaten to change their lives forever.
Molly and Liza have always been enviably close. Even after Molly married Daniel, the couple considered Liza an honorary family member. But after Liza moved away, things grew more strained than anyone wanted to admit—in the friendship and the marriage.
When Daniel goes away on business, Molly and Liza plan to reconnect with a nice long video chat after the kids are in bed. But then Molly leaves the room to check on a crying child.
What Liza sees next will change everything.
Only one thing is certain: Molly needs her. Liza drives all night to be at Molly's side—but when she arrives, the reception is icy, leaving Liza baffled and hurt. She knows there's no denying what she saw.
Or is there?
In disbelief that their friendship could really be over, Liza is unaware she's about to have a near miss of her own.
And Molly, refusing to deal with what's happened, won't turn to Daniel, either.
But none of them can go on pretending. Not after this.
Forget You Know Me is a "twisty, emotionally complex, powder keg of a tale" (bestselling author Emily Carpenter) about the wounds of people who've grown apart. Best friends, separated by miles. Spouses, hardened by neglect. A mother, isolated by pain.
One moment will change things for them all.

I'm delighted to say that this happened several times as I read this book. From the very first page of Forget You Know Me I was putty in Strawser's hands. From her portrayal of the changing nature of adult friendship to the seemingly harmless secrets we keep in marriage, Forget You Know Me is that book you can't put down, and can't stop thinking about when you are finished."

This third novel from Strawser (Not That I Could Tell You; Almost Missed You) is not only a captivating suspense novel but also a look at the complicated relationships that can occur among friends and spouses over the span of time and distance. Best friends Molly and Liza were thick as thieves and did everything together--even after Molly married Daniel, Liza was the welcomed and expected third wheel in their relationship and family. But when Liza moves to Chicago, an emotional distance is added to the physical, changing their relationship. Over time, too, Molly begins to grow distant from Daniel. Though he is physically present at times, in many ways he isn't, and resentment settles into the empty spaces, leaving Molly to feel alone. One night when Daniel is away, the girlfriends try to catch up on Skype, which then sets off a series of scary, odd events that can't be explained away. VERDICT Stawser's great hybrid of women's fiction and suspense doesn't overwhelm but intrigues. Readers will enjoy the strong character development and unpredictable plot.--Anne M. Miskewitch, Schaumburg Twp. Dist. P.L., IL

Best friends Molly and Liza have grown apart?Liza has moved away, Molly is married with kids. Their only way to connect is through video calling, and even that has grown awkward?until the night Liza spots a masked intruder on Molly's webcam. Liza calls the police and even drives from Chicago to Cincinnati to make sure her friend is okay, but Molly rebuffs her, insisting their friendship is over. Yet the story is far from over, as the women navigate a series of events that test everything they know to be true. Strawser (Not That I Could Tell, 2017) is a clear master of the craft, drawing together a plot that seems at once impossible and fully believable. The novel's pulsing anxiety continues through the triple narration from Liza, Molly, and Molly's husband, Daniel. This is not a straight-up thriller; the multiple domestic subplots and sometimes-leisurely pace may deter some readers. However, the tapestry of story and character will lure book clubs and lovers of emotionally complex fiction.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
