Author: Liane Moriarty

I was about a quarter of the way through the book before I really started liking the characters. After an accident at the gym, Alice has lost ten years of her memory; she thinks she is married and pregnant with her first child when in fact she is divorcing her husband and she has three children.

It was most enjoyable as Alice began remembering snippets of her life; the comparison with what Alice assumes to be true and what is actually true lead to some fun moments.

The story also has snippets of a journal that Alice’s sister, Elisabeth, is writing at the request of her therapist. The letters that Alice’s “adopted” grandmother, Frannie, is writing to her dead fiancé are also included. I’m not sure why these appear in the story, but they are a good diversion.
