One thing you should know about What Alice Forgot is that it takes place in Australia -- so be prepared to remember that a "jumper" is really a sweater and things like that.
Poor Alice, she temporarily loses her mind and goes to a Spinning class. I mean, poor Alice, she goes to Spinning class, falls off her bike, hits her head, and loses the last ten years of her memory. Ten years! Ten years ago I was living in a different house, had no children, and was spending more money in gas getting to work than actually making at work. Alice realizes she, too, has no recollection of giving birth to her three children, remodeling her entire house, or beginning divorce proceedings with her previously-adored husband.
The thing is, this book is a little bit fluffy. It is not an amazing literary masterpiece. But it is kind of relatable. It is easy to visualize the scene, to feel what Alice must feel, to be a member of her family, wondering what on earth is going on. I was worried the author would mess up the ending, though. Fortunately, she kept with the characters she created, and finished the story in the way each player would truly have dealt with the consequences, given their earlier thoughts and actions. Does that make sense? Strangely, this book does.
Enjoyable, readable, interesting. Check, check, check.
