Forget You Know Me: A Novel

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.

"[A] great hybrid of women's fiction and suspense...strong character development and unpredictable plot." - Library Journal

Yet another fantastic novel by Jessica Strawser. The subtlety within the novel of just going about your daily life while under the surface everything is flowing out of control is page turning bliss for this story. I felt a strong bond with each character and only found myself wishing things could have gone differently with just one character. All in all a great read that I highly recommend.
