What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty
2.0

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.
