slow-paced

Cute and fun, would’ve been perfect for a beach read. I think she did a really good job at writing about memory loss in a realistic way. I’m so glad there was an epilogue, otherwise I would’ve been pissed with how the book ended. 

I didn't find this an engaging read, the main character just didn't appeal to me. Which only made me want to know more about the others and we just seemed to skim the surface; the sister with a heartbreaking story of her own, the grandmother with an entertaining blog and more entertaining responses to it!
This just fell flat.

Alice Love is 29, crazy about her husband and pregnant with her first child. So imagine Alice's surprise when she wakes in the hospital where she discovers the honeymoon is truly over - she's getting divorced, she has three kids and she's actually 39 years old.

Really interesting concept with details of an unreliable narrator. But ew why did she get back with him, I know human relationships are complicated but I hate that man.
