Dear Librarians,

Kristin Kirkland's neighbors wish they'd been better witnesses.

They were the last people to see her but, now that she's vanished, it's becoming clear they never really saw the truth at all. Not on that last night when she joined them for too many drinks around the fire; and not before, either — when her days as a working mom and soon-to-be divorcee didn't seem so different from theirs. 

What begins as a fast-paced romp through a quirky small town leads to deeper questions about friendship, family, and secrets kept behind closed doors — including our own.

My Almost Missed You became a 2017 book club favorite, garnering raves from Chris Bohjalian, Lisa Scottoline, and Adriana Trigiani, and I'm so encouraged by the early response to NOT THAT I COULD TELL. "Fans of Liane Moriarty will adore Jessica Strawser," Kate Moretti writes. "She's a huge talent!"
