I Thought You Said This Would Work : A Novel

As college roommates, Samantha, Katie, and Holly were inseparable. But after graduation, Holly and Samantha's friendship faded away. Katie became the middleman, staying in touch with both women but never sure what triggered their falling out. When Katie lands in the hospital with a suspected cancer recurrence, Holly and Samantha are in the same room for the first time in years, launching a rebuilding of a friendship they thought was long forgotten. With the help of a road trip, one large dog, and a D-list celebrity, Holly and Samantha confront what went wrong so long ago, and learn more than they expected about themselves. A charming exploration of female friendship and cancer's uncanny ability to put perceived slights into perspective, Garvin's (I Like You Just Fine When You're Not Around, 2016) latest novel will delight fans of Anna Hope's Expectation (2020) and Julie Valerie's Holly Banks Full of Angst (2019). A testament to the power of one's own voice and the mistruths in the stories we tell ourselves, and an introspective, heartwarming, and witty farce.
