Good quick read. Interesting but not life changing.
I liked the storyline, but in my opinion it could’ve been written in 250 words instead of 400+.
Trigger Warning: Miscarriage (mentioned A TON throughout the book)
Soooo, what was the point of the sister, Elizabeth's (was that her name? I forgot) monologs? seems like they had zero to even do with the story, yet they were a large part of reading in this long book. All of that second storyline could have been cut completely out in my opinion! Also, the entire second half of the book that focuses SO HARD on the obsession with her late friend Gina. That ended up pointless to the overall story, too. I wanted more of the story to be about Alice, since, you know, that is the title and all lol. I liked the first chapter; it felt promising. The rest of the book was dull to me and lacked the "emotional journey" of a typical women's fiction book.

Reading this book a second time I enjoyed it so much more than my first read through. Maybe because I’m older and go to the gym now, haha. I relate more to the characters. Elizabeth’s struggle with infertility was so real. It was almost hard for me to read, remembering our own experience with infertility. The epilogue made the book for me. It was the perfect ending to the story.

3.5. Was involved all the way through, didn't love the ending.
Liked the book but wish it had more of a twist, I guess. Pretty straightforward.
