What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty

Alice Love falls off her bike during a spin class and ends up forgetting the last 10 years of her life. When she comes to, she thinks it’s still 1998, she’s pregnant, and she’s happily married. The reality is that it’s 2008, she has three children, and she and her husband are in the middle of a custody battle. The person she’s become is someone her 29-year-old self can’t stand, and she can’t understand how it happened.
I really enjoyed this book. Alice is a very sympathetic character. The writing is believable, without being over the top. The book is funny and thought-provoking at the same time. If you’re looking for something light-hearted and entertaining, you might like What Alice Forgot.

What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty

  What Alice Forgot is a really interesting story of an amnesia victim. Certainly not your typical character hits head, wakes up and does not know who they are. No, in this story, 39-year-old Alice Love does fall and hit her head, but when she wakes up she thinks it is 1998. She remembers her family, her husband, her past. However, a lot has happened in 10 years...
