What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty, is a novel about a 39 year old woman, Alice, who falls at the gym and bumps her head, wakes up with a concussion and no memory of the last ten years of her life; she believes she is 29 years old and pregnant with her first child. She soon finds out that she has three children, she is getting divorced, and is estranged from her sister and her neighbor and has no idea why.

Moriarty is a wonderful storyteller and I was hooked from the first page, I couldn’t put this book down. When Alice wakes up and believes she is her younger self, she has forgotten all the things she is supposed to be so stressed out about.

It’s a funny, thoughtful novel that makes one reflect on their own life, and all the things we do that keep us so busy. A great read.
