Alice's lost decade — the marriage that fell apart; the person she became; the question of whether she wants to be that person again
What this book is about
Alice Love falls off a spin bike at the gym and wakes up thinking it's 1998 — believing she is 29, blissfully happy, and pregnant with her first child. She is actually 39, going through a bitter divorce, and estranged from her sister. What Alice Forgot is Liane Moriarty at her most emotionally resonant — a novel about who we become when we're not paying attention.
