DON'T Forget this!


-->
HANK PHILLIPPI RYAN: Grip lit. Domestic suspense. Suburban noir. Psychological suspense. Readers are devouring it! (Luckily for me….)  Twisty plots, relatable (if vulnerable) characters, deception, manipulation, gaslighting—no one can be trusted. Well, it’s my favorite kind of book. (Luckily for me…)

And one of my current favorite favorite books was written by a favorite favorite author, the brilliant Jessica Strawser. I truly don’t know how she does it—writer, editor, mom, wife and all around amazing woman.

It’s called Forget You Know Me, and it begins with a video chat. Think about that. What might the other person see happening in your life—that they’re not supposed to see? I ask you—is that a brilliant idea or what?

Jessica’s on book tour of course, but she and I chatted before her whirlwind began. But she’ll pop in today of course, and maybe we can get her to tell the story of the person who emailed her about her hair.

HANK: Welcome, Jessica! I completely LOVED the opening premise. (In fact, let me admit, I was grumpy with myself for not having thought of it.)  Plus it was so realistic and so plausible—did something like that really happen to you?

JESSICA STRAWSER: When the idea for this book came to me, it was ONLY that opening scene (and not from real life, thank goodness, but from the mysterious ether of my overactive imagination). Typically my stories grow from a central question or theme I've been mulling over for a long time—years—and I then debate where exactly the pages should begin. It was quite different to start from such a vivid picture, from such a specific point at time, so much so that I resisted at first. But the idea grabbed me and would not let go, I think because of exactly the lure you mentioned: 10 different writers could start with that scene and write 10 very different stories of what happens next. And I'd like to read them all.

HANK: Oh, that's a great idea. (Should we edit an anthology, hmmm?) (Seriously.) (It's a good idea.) (In our spare time.) I know we don't want any spoilers, but tell us a bit about your book!

JESSICA STRAWSER: Yes! Look for the sequel, No Seriously Really Forget You Know Me This Time, just as soon as we uncover this mysterious “spare time” of which you speak!

The story opens when two long-distance best friends, Molly and Liza, are trying to reconnect over a video chat, and the webcam captures a heart-stopping moment no one was meant to see. Liza jumps into action, willing to do anything to help her friend—but is hurt when Molly’s response is icy, raising more questions than answers. 

Through the alternating perspectives of Liza, Molly, and Molly’s husband, Daniel, we’ll soon learn the secrets that have been driving them all apart. But whose confessions hold the answer to what really happened that night? And—at the heart of it all—when a friendship or a marriage gets this close to the brink, can anything pull it back?

HANK: Because Jessica is being modest,  and so you can know a bit more about the story, here’s what it says in the promo materials:

In the next “masterful” (Publishers Weekly) novel from "the gifted Jessica Strawser" (Adriana Trigiani)--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.

HANK:  Ooh, right? Jessica, there's a thread of "best friends" in the book--how much do you think "best friends" matter in our lives, and why was that interesting to you? Adult friendships are so—complicated.

JESSICA STRAWSER:  I’m reaching a stage of middle life, I suppose, where I find myself observing how drastically friendships can change over time—sometimes through nothing more than circumstance—but also how important they are, in spite of the fact that we sometimes give them a backseat to spouses and children and the general busy-ness of life.

I’ve written about close friends in all of my novels—I like to think of characters in terms of their relationships, and friendships are particularly interesting because they can be so influential but also so malleable. 

In this one I wanted to follow not just friends but also spouses who have a lot of history, a lot of love, but aside from that haven’t been very honest with each other, or themselves, about what’s going on in their minds—enough that they’ve broken the tight seal of that bond.

I know a lot of people grappling with that sort of gray area, wondering whether they can reverse a relationship that’s falling apart. It was fun to give these characters something that forces them to stop brushing things under the rug and confront each other, for better or worse.

HANK:   Not giving it away--but did you know the ending before you started? How do you want your readers to feel?

JESSICA STRAWSER: I knew the very basic ending but not how I would get there, or—key in this particular novel—what it would feel like when I did. I’m always leery to say how I want readers to feel (it’s up to them, not me!). But I do like stories that leave me thinking about them hours and days after I’ve turned the last page, so it’s always a compliment to hear I’ve achieved that.

HANK: So, Reds and readers, are you as enthralled with this kind of book as I am? I love that these conflict happen to real people, in real situations, that the stories are riveting and chilling—but entirely  plausible. How well do we know the people around us?

Do you read domestic suspense? (Or what do you call it?) Tell us your favorites—it’d be great to have some reading suggestions!

And a copy of FORGET YOU KNOW ME to one lucky commenter!

  1. Congratulations on your new book, Jessica. The story sounds quite intriguing and I’m really looking forward to reading the book.

    I’m not certain that I like the term “domestic suspense,” but I do enjoy those stories with twisty plots and unforeseen reveals that take the reader to an unexpected place. I recently read and enjoyed Annie Ward’s “Beautiful Bad” . . . .

  6. Waving at Jessica, fellow Cincinnatian! (Eastsider here)

    Yes, yes, to domestic suspense. But not a steady diet of nothing else. I find it too intense, and have to intersperse with lighter reading. My 89-year old mother, though, is a much bigger fan of that genre, go figure.

    3. Hi, Karen! Love my Cincinnati readers (and this book is set here—you'll recognize some settings, I think, including Cincinnati Nature Center and Lunken Airport). I'm going to be at Jo-Beth in Rookwood tonight, in fact—maybe I'll see you! I think this one will be up your alley as it's a true hybrid between suspense and women's fiction—with real focus on the characters and not relentless intensity. Love that your mother is still reading at 89! Always enjoyed a good book talk with my mom.

    4. Jessica, my father-in-law was instrumental in getting the Nature Center started. It was his idea, and he put the Rowes and the Krippendorfs together!

      It would be fun to see you.

  7. Welcome to JRW's Jessica; I just reserved Forget you Know Me, sounds great!. Which is more fun for you, editing or writing?

    Hallie's oeurve is the first thing that came to mind. Until just now, I didn't know the name of this sub genre; Domestic Suspense -- who knew?
    What else, "Gone Girl", "Lie to Me", "My Sister the Serial Killer, "Sometimes I lie" and
    "I let you go". There you go, 5 more titles for the group.

  10. Hi, Jessica (waving!)
    It's always fascinating to hear where the story came from. And I am hooked. This is a book I have to read.

    Of course I *write* domestic suspense, starting with NEVER TELL A LIE and now the 6th title in August, CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR. (Thanks for the nod, Coralee!!)

    A good read on the topic is Sarah Weinman's TROUBLED DAUGHTERS, TWISTED WIVES an anthology of stories from "trailblazers of domestic suspense." (Patricia Highsmith, Nedra Tyre Shirley Jackson, Margaret Millar, Minette Walters...) Also a fabulous short story anthology from awhile back edited by Elizabeth George, A MOMENT ON THE EDGE: 100 YEARS OF CRIME STORIES BY WOMEN.

    1. Hi, Hallie! *waving back* I think often of that story you tell about being at a garage sale, having an idea for a novel, and running straight home to write it down. Like you, I am not one of those authors who laments how they have so many ideas they just don't know how they'll ever write them all. It makes me feel less alone knowing that someone I admire as much as you collects story threads just as carefully! (Thank you for these anthology recommendations--adding both to my Goodreads shelf now!)

  12. First of all, Jessica's new book has been on my list since last fall. I read and really enjoyed her two previous books, NOT THAT I COULD TELL and ALMOST MISSED YOU. So, this one was automatically included in my long list of what comes next. I think the idea of someone seeing something unexpected and strange through a video chat is really intriguing...really. My mind goes to all kinds of places.

    OK, here's a funny thing - our mystery group actually had a video visit with Hank last night - they loved it, by the way, Hank - and during the talk one member asked about Hank's awards and she turned the camera so that we could see higher on her shelves. My mind says...what if????? Ha! Definitely not wishing Hank anything bad, but...ha! And could I add TRUST ME into this type of book - my term for them is 'psycho thriller'.

    Jessica, hope you have a great tour and I'll be reading this new book very, very soon!

    2. Thank you, Kay! Being a repeat reader is truly the highest compliment you could give an author. I love that your group Skyped with Hank last night--I sometimes do this with writers groups and book clubs too, and it's definitely going to be eerie fun talking about FORGET YOU KNOW ME in particular via video chat.

  14. I'm laughing at myself. As I read through the posts from everyone I was trying to remember the author of a really good title I finished last month. I grabbed my Kindle, scrolled through"my library" and there it was! "Not That I Could Tell" by... Jessica Strawser. So, yes I enjoy this genre and yes, I apparently LOVE Jessica Strawer.
    I always read anything by Hallie and Hank. Well,come to that, I read anything any of the Reds have written, to the exclusion of shopping lists.
    Although, now I'm curious. What does a shopping list or a "to do list" from one of the Reds look like?

  15. Welcome Jessica. Your premise intrigues me, and I'll certainly check out your book.

    I'm not sure what domestic suspense is exactly. (I guess I know what it isn't: THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO.) I really dislike the sub-genre notion, since I think anything I choose to read is literary, period. I wouldn't classify Larry McMurtry as "cowboy" fiction for instance.

    We had an event in the neighborhood a couple of years ago, and I wish one of you would develop this into a book. Sadly, a woman up the street hanged herself in the garage. This was bad enough, but it seems her husband's first wife had done the same, different garage. Either this was a big F you moment from wife #2 or that husband has little imagination.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Thank you, Ann! I think more than a subgenre, my titles are cross-genre, with strong elements of suspense but also women's fiction (another term I dislike, if I'm honest, but what can you do).

      Fascinating, horrible story about the woman in the garage. It reminds me of something... Maybe a little bit of THE GIRL BEFORE by J.P. Delaney? Common denominator there is not a husband, but a landlord.

    2. YIKES. Not a coincidence, but fascinating, in a crime fiction sort of way, to realize how many explanations of that there might be. Yeesh.

  20. Hi Jessica, and congrats!

    Count me in the group that is iffy on the term "domestic suspense," but I lap up those kind of books with abandon. I've read most of Hallie's and I'm sure this one would be quite an enjoyable read. But like Karen in Ohio, I can't read nothing but domestic suspense. My psyche needs a breather once in a while.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Thanks, Liz! As I told Karen above, mine are in the middle of the spectrum, with strong elements of women's fiction—not so dark I need a recovery period before delving into another. I'm in the same boat as the two of you! ;)

      Delete
    2. But domestic suspense almost has to include women' fiction elements, doesn't it? Because it's about relationships.. But then, women's fiction is also a complicated label.

      Delete
    3. Hank, yes. And I think this goes back to the assertion that all these classifications are much more helpful to booksellers than readers. Do you have a strong plot with compelling characters? Count me in. No further labels required. :)

  23. Well, I am completely intrigued by Forget You Know Me. I have gotten quite a taste for what Hank describes as "Grip lit, Domestic suspense, Suburban noir, or Psychological suspense." The authors I've read who write it are brilliant at the twists and turns and deceptions in it. Hallie and Hank, you both rock it. And, it's bringing new authors (new to me) to my attention, like my recent read of Lisa Jewell's Watching You. Now, I'm delighted to have another author to add to the list, as, Jessica, Forget You Know Me is definitely a must-read for me. This is one friendship I can't wait to follow through its twists and turns and secrets.

    Jessica, I see that you live in Cincinnati. My hometown is Maysville, KY, right down the Ohio River from you, and Cincinnati played a big part in my growing up years. In fact, my pediatrician, Dr. Wagner, was in Cincinnati, and I bought my wedding dress there. We used to shop there during Christmas and delight in the Shillito's Christmas windows. I try to get back to Maysville and visit at least a few times a year. I still have lots of family and friends there I enjoy spending time with.

  24. Shalom Reds and fans. I just put this book on my TBR list yesterday. I tried to look back and see how the book came to my attention but had no luck. I am on Jessica’s mailing list and I’ve saved at least two of those emails in the last two years. So I guess we’ll bump one of these books to the top of my lists. I did find one email from a while back that included one of your books under the “genre” of Marriage Thrillers. Another email contained your essay which I read about the “unwitting bystander”. I suppose the grand-daddy of all in this genre in the modern era is the movie Gaslight with Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman. I had no trouble watching this as a teenager but now as a senior adult, I can only watch because I know the end. I still have difficulty watching Shakespeare’s Othello. It all cuts a little too close to home. All that said, I will look around for a copy of Forget You Know Me either at the bookstore or on Amazon’s Kindle.
