What Alice Forgot
By Liane Moriarty
This week's book is another book written by Liane Moriarty. She is the author of Big Little Lies and a whole bunch of books you'll see fellow soccer moms reading while they wait for practice and school to get out while they sit in their minivans. This is the fourth of this author's novels that I have read. I would say it's pretty good.
This book is the story of a woman in her late twenties who is madly in love with her husband and is pregnant with their first child. She wakes up after hitting her head, only to find out that about ten years have passed and she doesn't remember any of it. She has three children, she's getting divorced and her life has become far more glamorous; think the real housewives of wherever. She tries to figure out where her life has gone right and wrong and what she can do to “fix” her life, or if she even really wants to “fix” it?
I'm not going to lie, there are issues that are brought with veils of mystery that are anticlimactic. You think you have it figured out, and then out of nowhere you find out the problem wasn't that big of a deal after all. The ending is kind of a slap job finish, but it's still a good book.
