Publisher's summary
From the author of The Blondes comes a twisted, darkly humorous story about a woman’s attempted murder, her lost memories, and the old friends who try to put her back together—or finish her off for good.
When Mia Sinclair-Kroner wakes from a coma, all she can remember are the movies she’s known and loved. Her college friends quickly assemble for a weekend party, in an effort to help her remember. But with old friends come old wounds, and it soon becomes clear that Mia’s accident might not have been an accident at all.
Was it Agnes, driven by her unspoken resentments? Or Zoey, who covets everything Mia has? Have the years apart only fanned the extinguished flame between Ethan and Mia, compelling him to violence? Or did Victor, who moved away, return with an agenda? Or was it Martin, the wealthy husband, who put a country estate between Mia and her past?
As old tensions and new suspicions rise, these friends must wade through their film knowledge, shared history, and everything that’s kept them apart in order to figure out which one of them is trying to end things once and for all.

Critic reviews
“Narrator Lisa Larsen does justice to the tense, twisting story with an emotive and engaging performance. This audio will appeal to cinephiles seeking a fast-paced amateur-sleuth mystery full of flawed characters and their sinister secrets. Recommended for fans of Tarryn Fisher, Lisa Scottoline, and Colleen Hoover.”—Library Journal
“Funny, sarcastic, and unavoidably tragic…Schultz’s handling of means, motive, and opportunity cements her, once again, as a dependable and bitingly clever writer.”—Booklist
“This propulsive thriller will have you on the edge of your seat as old friends reunite to solve a mystery that implicates them all. Schultz raises questions of art and artifice, memory and trust, all while telling a page-turning, unputdownable story.”—Anna North, New York Times bestselling author of Outlawed

Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Movie narrative
Sleeping With Friends is about Mia waking up from a coma and her friends throwing her a remembering party. The party’s at her house where she lives with her husband Martin. As the weekend gets underway Mia feels like her friends know an awful lot about her yet it seems she might be better off learning about herself from someone else.
…
The night plays out like a reenactment of events which leads to suspicious events. The party was designed to help Mia remember yet it plays out like a truth party.
…
What we know is that Mia and Agnes were English majors. They took an Adaptation Studies class where they met Zoey, Ethan, and Victor—all film majors. When Mia wakes up from her coma it’s as if she’s an actress starring in a movie. For whatever reason (only the author know) she uses movie references to explain how Mia feels. Mia basically explains certain events by describing a scene from a familiar movie. As a reader you must be on top of your movie knowledge in order to understand the plot. I’m impressed how the author tailored this story with movie scenes.
…
I have no idea what I’m reading. I went in blind thinking I can just go with it. I realize I’m going to need to read the synopsis. Synopsis reveals this is an attempted murder mystery with all Mia’s friends as suspects.
…
Emily Schultz is the author of Sleeping with Friends. This is my first time reading a book by this author. I’m not the intended audience for this plot. The delivery of information and process of referencing movies as a narrative was lost on me.
…
I’m fortunate to have invested in the audiobook. Having a narrator perform this book helped immensely. I’m certain I would’ve skim read this book or passed it on by. Huge thank you to Lisa Larsen for performing this audiobook in a way that was easy to follow.

Uhmmmm
The readers voice was a little girlish sounding, kinda like a Valley Girl. The story was also a bit predictable and a little disjointed even for this movie buff. I don’t know that I’d listen to it a second time but it wasn’t one that I quit part way through.

I tried. I really tried to get through this Audible. I just didn’t care about any of the characters, and the side stories seemed to go on and on. Wish I could get refunded the hours of my life I listened to this.
