What a wonderful book! So many sensitive topic treated with a lot of care. I loved it!
This is definitely a chick lit book that I enjoyed. I felt like I could relate to the main character in many aspects and the story was thought provoking.
What I didn’t like: The ending felt a bit rushed in comparison to the rest of the book and Elisabeth and Frannie’s side stories could have been written better. Their stories were presented in such a strange, unrealistic format. Lastly, I can’t understand how Alice didn’t harass her family for all the details of the last ten years. There is no way I would have let my family share such tiny bits and pieces of my life without further explanation..... but then there would be no story, so I guess that’s not really a fair criticism.

Loved this book!
The character development was notable and once you get used to the changes in perspective and the flashbacks you really grow to love the characters.

What Alice Forgot was entertaining even though I went into the book thinking this plot line is not for me. I enjoyed Alice's journey through amnesia and looking back on how things get to where they are. The author expertly drops hints so that you just have to keep reading to find out the answers to the mysteries created by amnesia. It's a quick and easy ready despite length.
I started with the audiobook and found it excruciatingly slow, so swapped to the ebook. I didn't like the ending - a few of the threads were wrapped up too neatly, almost unrealistically.
Well, that was just delightful. Super easy read, very addictive. I'm definitely glad I've got a couple of her other books waiting for me.

i really enjoyed this especially the dynamic of nick and alice and the two of them trying to figure out being parents in the 90s then breaking up so viciously in the 2000s. i’m so pleased with the way the story went to be honest.

An intriguing story that offers a lot for the reader to reflect upon, but was lacking the shock factor this author is otherwise known for.
