A Novel

By: Jessica Strawser

Narrated by: Gabra Zackman

Length: 10 hrs and 36 mins

Publisher's summary

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” (best-selling 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.

um not my favorite

It was kind of boring and just meandered along without going anywhere. Narrator was ok. Characters were one dimensional.

Not a fan of this narrator.

The story was really just okay. It started out very intriguing and then just really seemed to drag on for a very long time. The minute the narration started, I wished I had paid more attention to the name before I bought the audible narration. I had just completed another audible book read by the same narrator and though I am certain she must be very talented; I personally do not love the voices she uses for her characters and that ends up driving me crazy while trying to listen to the story. It's probably just me...but if there is a sample available, you might check it out before you commit.

Boring

I really tried to build some connection with the story line and the characters! Wasn't happening because the story is so far-fetched to be totally unbelievable. The characters are just weird and the messes they have made of their lives...all of them in one way or another...are way to coincidental to be borne. I loved two other books by Jessica Strawser, Almost Missed You and Not the I Could Tell; therefore, I spent a credit on this one that I can easily, Forget You Know Me, and probably pass on other Strawser books.

Nooooooooo!!!!

OK, if you think you might want to listen to this book, don’t read this review, because I’m getting ready to give away the sorry plot line…

The main character had astronomically high medical bills! That’s it, that’s all.

This book wasn’t good or bad ... it was incredulously questionable bordering on “really??“ Hindering on “OK that’s just plain dumb!“

Please don’t waste your time or money!

Hard to get through

The book lingered on and on. You thought eventually something exciting would happen but it didn’t and the ending was wasn’t any better.
