Review of Forget You Know Me by Jessica Strawser

I received a copy of this title via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

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.

My Review:
4 Stars

This was a story of friendship. Friendship that endures long distance, mistrust, lies and a long road to forgiveness.

Liza and Molly were once attached at the hip. They did everything together. Then Molly met Daniel and while Liza was still included a great deal, the dynamic between the two friends was slowly changing.

When offered the opportunity to move away and start over, Liza takes the chance, knowing that even though she might be miserable, it's what's best for her friend and her new marriage.

Then one night everything changes. Liza witnesses an attempted crime while Skyping with Molly. The reaction after puzzles Liza, pushing her to pursue the reason behind her friend's sketchy actions.

Not knowing what is truly going to happen, Liza opens a Pandora's box that will slowly bring to light secrets that others would rather remain hidden.
