Bookworm Review: “What Alice Forgot” by Liane Moriarty

What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty
Penguin Group Inc., 2009

First Line: She was floating, arms outspread, water overlapping her body, breathing in a summery fragrance of salt and coconut.

Synopsis from GoodreadsAlice Love is twenty-nine years old, madly in love with her husband, and pregnant with their first child. So imagine her surprise when, after a fall, she comes to on the floor of a gym (a gym! she HATES the gym!) and discovers that she’s actually thirty-nine, has three children, and is in the midst of an acrimonious divorce.


A knock on the head has misplaced ten years of her life, and Alice isn’t sure she likes who she’s become. It turns out, though, that forgetting might be the most memorable thing that has ever happened to Alice.


My Thoughts: I loved this book! It was a great read and I flew through it. It’s a very interesting story, and it really makes you think and put people in perspective and how much you let them influence you and your life decisions. It is eye opening to how much we change over our lives and how we let others effect us. I also loved the Elizabeth’s diary portion of the book. I really related to her through her fertility struggles and her happy ending. The end is unpredictable. I had no idea what was going to happen and it constantly kept changing and leaving you guessing. I gave this book 5 stars.
