Hello, all!
I was so excited to get an advance copy of Forget You Know Me coming out in 2019. The premise sounded so good. Two friends, Liza and Molly have let life come in between them and are finally making time to have a "girl's night" even though it's just through the computer. Liza has moved away from her hometown and has a career in Chicago, while Molly has stayed home in the suburbs raising a family.
While video chatting, Molly goes to see what one of her children want and while Liza waits, she sees a masked man entering the house. She yells at him and he shuts the computer screen down. Frantic, Liza has no idea what is happening to her friend. She contacts the local police and then finally learns that Molly is okay. However, Molly is tight lipped about the encounter and brushes Liza off about it.
This is what the book promised the story was about but it was about so much more. Liza has a tragedy of her own that forces her to make big changes. Now, she doesn't have Molly to talk to about it since they are kind of on the outs regarding Molly's attitude about the intruder Liza saw. There are also more plots in the story and overall it all tied together nicely.
In some ways, the story being about more was a good thing, but not when the description made it sound like the intruder part was really going to be the bulk of the story. Also, the title made me think that, too. However, there was a small surprise in the book, which I won't spoil. The only thing is I think the book should be marketed less of a thriller and more of just domestic or women's fiction. That way, it would tell you more of what to expect.
I know I sound let down, but I really wasn't overall. It kept my interest enough to keep going, I am very grateful to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity.
