Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press, and Jessica Strawser for the opportunity to read and review her latest novel - I thoroughly enjoyed this one!
Liza and Molly are best friends from childhood. However, when Liza moves to Chicago for a new job and Molly remains back in Cincinnati, married with 2 kids and chronic pain issues, they find it difficult to keep their relationship going. Liza has a new best friend in Max, who is always there for her. Meanwhile, Molly finds a purpose in helping their neighbor's child through a difficult issue.
Liza and Molly are video-chatting, trying to reconnect, when Molly leaves to put a child back into bed and Liza sees a masked stranger enter Molly's kitchen. When she's finally able to reconnect, Molly's reaction is more than troubling to Liza. Thus the rift widens.
While there is a slight mystery involved, the strength of this book lies in these characters. It makes you think about those relationships you take for granted, assuming they will always be there, and how important our reactions are to the people we care about. Plus any book that mentions Saratoga Chips deserves an extra shoutout!
