“But maybe every life looked wonderful if all you saw was the photo albums.” I'm not generally a Liane Moriarty fan. I figured that out years ago when Big Little Lies and The Husband's Secret left me feeling bored and totally unmoved. Around that time, I thought about reading **What Alice Forgot**, but honestly, I'm glad I didn't back then. You can't read **What Alice Forgot** without thinking about who you used to be versus who you are now, and I don't think my past self would have been as a...

What I love most about this book is how effortlessly it flows. Liane Moriarty's writing is so easy to get into that you can't help but get completely sucked into the story, and before you know it, you're already 300 pages in. It's just one of those books you can breeze right through. Perfect for a weekend read!I also really enjoyed the characters in "What Alice Forgot". Liane Moriarty has a real talent for creating complex, multi-layered characters who, despite their flaws, you can't help but en...

Women's fiction at its finest, *What Alice Forgot* is everything I've come to adore from Liane Moriarty. Alice takes a knock to the head and suddenly loses ten years of her memory. The last thing she can recall is being twenty-nine, head-over-heels for her husband Nick, and expecting their first baby. Now, she's thirty-nine, has three kids, and is on the brink of divorce. As she tries to piece together the missing years, she must figure out who she truly is and what really matters to her. At f...

5+ Stars!"What Alice Forgot" by Liane Moriarty was absolutely fantastic – 100% fantastic from beginning to end! If you're looking for great books to read, look no further.It was funny, genuinely laugh-out-loud funny. It was also heart-wrenching, bringing on the tears. And incredibly thought-provoking, making you really consider things. The writing was so good that I was completely absorbed the entire time. Not once did my mind wander! Absolutely no filler!The characters… oh, the characters… all ...

I absolutely loved, loved, loved "What Alice Forgot" by Liane Moriarty! ❤️📚 Seriously, this book is fantastic! Alice takes a tumble and bumps her head in 2008 during a spin class. When she comes to, she thinks it's 1998, she's 29 years old, and just found out she's pregnant! Even though the premise has tragic elements, Liane Moriarty writes with humor, wit, and so much warmth. It's a story about family, misunderstandings, forgiveness, second chances, and, above all, love.❤️ "What Alice Forgot" ...

I opened **What Alice Forgot** on my Kindle, tapped my way to the beginning, and then fell into the story headfirst – without even checking how deep it was. Luckily, this story has both incredible depth and breadth; I could have safely dived off a hundred-foot cliff right into this amazing novel by Liane Moriarty. This is a family story that spans ten years, where the immediate family and their extended families face several crises. It's a period where many changes happen in a relatively short ...

Pedestrian. The writing, the story, the characters – all just too pedestrian. Nothing lifted Liane Moriarty's *What Alice Forgot* into the realm of interesting, or even mildly so. It's the kind of book I'd keep in my car's glove compartment. I know I'm never going to read it, but there's always the possibility especially with the vehicles I drive of being stuck with a broken-down truck or a roadblock with absolutely nothing to read. *That* kind of book.I'm not giving it one star because I didn't...

I don't hand out 5-star reviews easily. THIS. Was absolutely worth it. It resonated with me on so many levels. Honestly, some parts were painful to read because it felt like Liane Moriarty was describing my own life, and I wasn't thrilled with what I saw. I guess you could classify this as Chick-Lit... which isn't usually my thing, but wow. I LOVED *What Alice Forgot* for so many reasons. I'm 39, I have 3 kids, my husband's in the thick of his career and travels constantly, and I can't seem to s...

Rating BreakdownFirst half of the book: 2.5 StarsSecond half of the book: Solid 4 StarsEpilogue: Undeniably 5 StarsOkay, so What Alice Forgot is way outside my usual reading zone. This adult fiction dives into a bunch of topics that honestly freak me out a little – divorce, death, infertility, and a family totally falling apart. If I’d known how heavy this book was going to get, I might have skipped it, but I’m so glad I gave this Aussie book a shot. Totally worth it!Like my Rating Breakdown sho...

487 pages of pure torture! What Alice Forgot was not at all what I expected. That should teach me never to read a book that hasn’t been rated by at least one of my trusted friends. You see, I thought this would be a well-written, intelligent, heartwarming story about a woman who loses ten years of her life but finds some other, maybe even more valuable things instead. Obviously, I was very wrong. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t normally mind reading the Aussie version of a Maeve Binchy novel, but I *di...
