[b:Forget You Know Me|39863492|Forget You Know Me|Jessica Strawser|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1544090504s/39863492.jpg|61659702] is the first book I've read by [a:Jessica Strawser|1056657|Jessica Strawser|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1476975333p2/1056657.jpg] and I really enjoyed it, but fair warning - this book is a domestic drama! I would not call this a mystery per say, and definitely not a thriller.
What it's about: Molly and Liza used to be the best of friends but have grown apart since Liza moved away to Chicago. They decide to catch up on a video chat one night, and Liza sees something disturbing after Molly goes to check on her daughter... She ends up driving through the night to check on Molly, only to receive a not-so-warm welcome and basically gets the door slammed in her face. But Liza is troubled by what she saw, and even though the friendship seems to now quite possibly be over, she still wants to help. There is more going on with Molly than Liza knows, and everything will eventually come to a head in this sizzling domestic drama!
I felt like I read [b:Forget You Know Me|39863492|Forget You Know Me|Jessica Strawser|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1544090504s/39863492.jpg|61659702] really quickly, but when I looked at my stats on the Bookly app, I found out that it actually took me 6.5 hours! I don't know why it took me so long because I really do think this book is a fast read. Strawser's writing flows really well, and I was completely invested in the story. Luckily for me, I had not read the synopsis recently and went in blind. I had kind of thought the book would be more of a mystery, but domestic drama is a much better category for this one.
The book made me tear up at the end and I loved how Strawser pulled everything together. She leaves you with a nice ending that is hopeful and sweet.
Final Thought: I really enjoyed [b:Forget You Know Me|39863492|Forget You Know Me|Jessica Strawser|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1544090504s/39863492.jpg|61659702] and I'm pretty surprised by the low average on Goodreads. I think it might have something to do with people thinking this is going to be a mystery, but it really isn't. I would recommend this to fans of domestic dramas and general adult fiction. I loved Strawser's writing and I can't wait to check out more from her!
