When friends Molly and Liza were younger, they were very close. Molly married Daniel, and Liza was welcomed into the family. Liza moved to another city, and the separation affected their friendship. Molly suffers from chronic pain and feels that no one sees the pain she is in. She is constantly in demand to her children, and has become friendly with a single dad and his young daughter.
Molly and Liza have a video call to catch up and rekindle their relationship, Molly is called away, and Liza sees something at Molly's house. When Molly blows it off, Liza becomes concerned, and this begins another phase of the relationship. Many secrets in this one.
I was bored, didn't care for the characters at all. (

Very middle of the road for me. I liked the premise- that a friend witnessed an intruder on a zoom call & things get weird from there- but it became a little too boring after the halfway point. I got tired of Molly and Daniel’s dysfunctional relationship. And sadly, I was bored of Liza’s neurosis even though she had every reason to be that way. The ending just didn’t pack the punch I wanted it to— and the one character that I actually did like (Rick and his daughter, Rosie), got the shaft. I’m glad I read it, but it could’ve been better. (

This ended up feeling more like a mystery than a thriller. It was well plotted and I didn't expect the ending, but I felt like I wanted the characters to be a bit more than they were.

Also, as always, I'm absolutely terrible at reading about characters with excessive debt. It stresses me out so, and I simply can't relate. (

I had previously read "Almost Missed You" by Jessica Strawser and it broke my heart! I was hoping this latest novel could evoke such intensity of emotion and it came very close even if nothing here drove me to tears. Molly and Liza were the best of friends, and although they tried to remain that way after Liza moved, the distance between them made it impossible. Meanwhile Molly has been suffering debilitating pain, and she and her husband have drifted apart. When Liza and Molly try to rekindle their friendship over a video chat Liza witnesses something she wasn't meant to see. Fearing for Molly and her children Liza drives all night to get to her, and is treated as an unwelcome and unwanted nuisance when she arrives. She is shocked when Molly turns her away. but there's an even bigger shock waiting for Liza when she gets home, and there is just no telling if their friendship or Molly's marriage will survive.

I received an advance copy for review

I enjoyed this book and found it well-paced. Minus one star because I found the ending somewhat disappointing, even abrupt. As other reviewers mentioned, this book nicely handles the complexity of adult friendships and how they evolve once one friend gets married and has children. (

Liza could tell right away that Molly's smile was fake - and not fake in that courageous way that tired moms of young children sometimes muster a grin, either.
