WHAT ALICE FORGOT by Liane Moriarty



Alice Love wakes up in her spin class after falling and hitting her head.  Her first thought? ' Why am I in a spin class?'  You see, 29 year old Alice loves sleeping in, chocolate, her lovely life with her husband Nick, their eager preparations for their first child.  She definitely does not love the gym!

There is a much bigger problem than the gym, however. In fact, Alice has no memory of the past ten years.  Alice and Nick are in the middle of a nasty divorce, the baby is now ten years old (there are two more besides) and Alice has become a gym loving, obsessive control freak with a boyfriend and no idea where the past ten years went or how she got to be the person she is today. As Alice slowly regains her memory she has the opportunity to examine her life and determine what is important to her.

Two other storylines in the book are interesting as well.  Alice's sister, Elizabeth struggles with infertility and her grandmother, Frannie, writes frequent letters to a 'mystery man'.  The three stories intertwine to make an enjoyable read.
