Publisher Description
FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE HUSBAND'S SECRET AND BIG LITTLE LIES.
A “cheerfully engaging”(Kirkus Reviews) novel for anyone who’s ever asked herself, “How did I get here?”
Alice Love is twenty-nine, crazy about her husband, and pregnant with her first child. So imagine Alice’s surprise when she comes to on the floor of a gym (a gym! She HATES the gym) and is whisked off to the hospital where she discovers the honeymoon is truly over—she’s getting divorced, she has three kids, and she’s actually 39 years old. Alice must reconstruct the events of a lost decade, and find out whether it’s possible to reconstruct her life at the same time. She has to figure out why her sister hardly talks to her, and how is it that she’s become one of those super skinny moms with really expensive clothes. Ultimately, Alice must discover whether forgetting is a blessing or a curse, and whether it’s possible to start over...

"What Alice Forgot is another great book by Liane Moriarty. The reader, Tamara Lovatt-Smith also does a great job as narrator. Alice awakes from what she thinks is a dream, assuming she is a a 29-year old woman expecting her first child. Instead, she is actually, 39 and the mother of three children estranged from her husband. She's fallen off of an exercise bike at the gym, erasing the last ten years of her life. Moriarty does a great job of shining light on infertility, and shuffling between Alice's past and present. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it for anyone enjoying engaging fictional novels. "

" This book is chock full of both hilarious and poignant moments. The way Moriarty weaves the themes of loss and redemption together with humor and tenderness is truly the mark of a gifted writer. Not only was I able to enter fully into the emotional life of the three main characters, I was also able to relate fully to each one. The narrator, Tamara Lovatt-Smith, was absolutely superb, and I actually kept hearing echoes of her voice in my head for days after finishing the book. Bravo! "
