What Alice Forgot - Liane Moriarty

Courtesy Internet

Alice is a thirty-nine year old amnesiac. She can remember nothing from the time she was twenty-nine, pregnant with her first baby, and madly in love with her husband. Shockingly, she is now mother to three children she has never seen before, divorcing her husband, and perfectly skinny and in shape. She soon realizes that her sister and she aren't the best of friends anymore. She must act fast and make amends to her topsy-turvy life.
 
This book is a pure delight and is so precious to me. The plot is well crafted and the back-stories fit in like puzzle pieces. I am not a huge fan of long books, but I was able to finish this in a few sittings. The emotions are absolutely raw and you can totally feel the characters. There are some phrases used in this that melt your heart. Most of the relationships are gorgeous. There's friendship, love, family, children. Basically, it's a family drama. This book is taken from various perspectives that makes it harder to understand at first. It has a completely different take on IVF and what an infertile couple goes through. I think Frannie's blog was unnecessary and I don't get the point of it. Otherwise, this book is perfect. (I couldn't stop rereading it at first)
 
Rating- 4.8/5
