When neighbors gather for a ladies wine night everyone is happy to "get out", but still in spitting distance to their homes. Talking, drinking, laughing and commiserating about life in general is the what happily transpired. Fun was had by all...or so it appeared. Two days later the ladies are stunned to learn that their friend, along with her two children, have simply vanished!! All of women try to recall the foggy details of the (now missing) neighbor from their wine night. As details of their friendship and interactions with her emerge, conspiracy theories start to develop and that's just the tip of the iceberg!! Ohhhhhh my!!!

What a twisty turny masterpiece Jessica Strawser has written!!! I was really in the mood for an addictive read that I wouldn't be able to put down and Not That I Could Tell came through--big time!! I am in awe of how utterly shocked I was by the ending-- I honestly had no clue what was coming. Having read Jessica Strawsers debut novel, Almost Missed You, I knew she was an extremely talented author, but she really outdid herself with this book!! If you were a fan of Big Little Lies, than Not That I Could Tell will be right up your alley!! This is a full 5 star read that needs to go on top of you TBR list!

I was so excited to see that Jessica Strawser had a new book coming out – I read and really enjoyed “Almost Missed You.” This one does not disappoint, either. From the opening paragraph it become evident that everything is not what it seems, and the story and the characters drew me in right away and kept me guessing until the end of the book.

Kristin’s neighbors have a gathering in her friend Clara’s backyard one Saturday night, drink a little too much wine, the night becomes fuzzy, and have a hard time waking up the next AM after overindulging. The soon learn that Kristin and her children went missing after the party broke up…

The neighborhood is friendly, and the women in the neighborhood are the kinds of neighbors I wish I had. They are likeable, and not overly concerned with gossip, but are very concerned about the absence of Kristin and her twins. Both Izzy and Clara are concerned about their friend, but also dealing with their own issues from their past that color their view on the situation they find themselves in – being worried about their friend, being questioned by police, but trying to continue their own lives in the meantime.

This is a suspenseful book that brings a mystery to life in suburban America…where everything may not be exactly what it seems. A great read!

This book was just what I was looking for. Suspenseful, and something I couldn't put down. It had a bit of homeyness to it. Like I wanted to be friends with the people in the neighborhood.

I received an advanced review copy of this book from The Great Thoughts Ninja Review Team. All opinions are my own. This book has it all. It's dramatic, emotional and has a strong plot that will keep you reading until the end. Definitely pre order or put this is on your TBR list because it's a book not to be missed.

This thriller follows a group of neighbor girlfriends who spent Saturday night around the firepit, enjoying wine and secrets. On Monday, one of them is missing. Kristin seems to have the perfect family and perfect life but as her secrets come out as her disappearance is investigated; her neighbor girlfriends realize they don’t know her as well as they thought. All eyes go to the husband of course but others aren’t so sure that he is the reason behind her disappearance.

This book was interesting, I felt like the flow was really good, the twist at the end got me! I loved the cover, it pulled me in right away. The story was engaging and kept me interested.

The cover of Not That I Could Tell might've been what intrigued you to start it, but it won't be the reason you finish it! Almost instantaneously, Jessica Strawser draws you in to the type of neighborhood you may have or a neighborhood you want -- one that's filled with people of varying life experiences and stories and without whom the street just wouldn't be the same. The camaraderie between Kristin and the rest of the ladies makes her disappearance all the more confusing and traumatic. Is Kristin's soon-to-be-ex Paul a threat? Was her sudden disappearance financially motivated? Strawser does an admirable job of intertwining these women's lives, giving them all a past and a purpose that lend themselves to the investigation in ways that make the events of this story realistic. Bravo, Jessica Strawser! Readers who loved Shari Lapena's The Couple Next Door, anything of David Bell's, or J.P. Delaney's The Girl Before should look for this one now!

The story of a woman who takes her kids and runs from the perfect marriage. Was it the money? Was it another man? No one knows what goes on bwhind closed doors. Great plot that keeps you guessing! I loved that it kept me guess all the way to the end. I usually figure books out half way through. The suspense of Paul, where Kristen was, and the views from each neighbor really kept me reading! I also loved the quotes at the beginning of each chapter. I found myself wondering what the next one would say. I would definitely buy this book based on the description and I would recommend it to friends!

I am shocked how it ended, actually I did not even see it. I thought I had it figured out but boy was I wrong. I am usually not surprised but the author did an excellent job adding one more twist to complete this book. The girls have a night out drinking and telling stories, then the next morning one of them disappears. What happens when truth and fiction blend together? The author did a great job describing all the women's live and having the reader follow them through their paths. Thank you NetGalley and Jessica Strawser for allowing me to read this book in advance for a honest review.

A small circle of women, neighbors, gather together for a relaxing evening around the fire. They are relieved to be able to spend time talking to other adults, to be able to leave motherhood behind for a just a few short hours. After a lot of alcohol, stories begin pouring out and secrets that were never meant to see the light of day are revealed. A few days later, one of the woman, Kristin has disappeared. With a divorce on the horizon, Kristin seemed in surprisingly good spirits, but now with her disappearance, her husband becomes the prime suspect. A wickedly sly look inside the lives of suburbia

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an e-ARC of this title, in exchange for my honests opinion. I've been heavily into the psychological thriller genre, so I dug into this one right away. I'm happy I did. It had all the elements of a good read, and honestly, I thought I had everything figured out halfway through, only to realize I was completely surprised by the end. The character development was good, to the point I liked some characters and didn't like others, as we'd do in real life. I also liked that even thought we were given narration by a few of the characters, it was well done so you don't get confused (a pet peeve of mine.) I highly recommend this one.
