Book Description

Release Date: Jun 7 2011
What would happen if you were visited by your younger self, and got a chance for a do-over?

Alice 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Memorable chick lit plus Aug 20 2012
By Cee Ess
Format:Paperback
I would classify this as chick lit plus, meaning that it has a little more cerebral power through it's thoughtful, well connected storyline, while maintaining a "cute" and easy reading quality.

It's about super-momzilla Alice who bonks her bean at spin class. He life spins out of control for several days while she deals with all the things she has forgotten including three kids and a pending divorce. Laced with comic relief and bits of grief, the story is made more interesting by weaving in the voices of her practical grandma and distraught sister. The writer transitions her chapters well and although it gets a little predicatable at the end, she has a written a charming story with memorable characters. This books gives us a douse of reality check that we could use - how do we let good things go off the rails?

5.0 out of 5 stars well written and enjoyable all the way to the end Jun 25 2012
By Neko TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
This is not the first book I've read about memory loss, but so far it is the best. The characters are well developed and believable and the plot moves along nicely. The readers gain insight into Alice's past as she starts to remember but also get glimpses into the lives of other characters through letters written by them. The writer handles uncomfortable subjects such as miscarriage sensitively yet there is an underlying sense of humour running through the book. A most enjoyable read.

4.0 out of 5 stars What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarity Nov 7 2011
By Burchy
Format:Hardcover
Strange that I have read two 'memory loss' books in the last month. "What Alice Forgot" and "Before I Go to Sleep". And I devoured both in two day sittings. Neither is "50 First Dates" as some have said nor "Groundhog Day". Both have characters who struggled albeit in different ways. Both have suspense- subdued in the former and palpable in the latter. Both absorbing.
