Alice Love is 29 years old, crazy about her husband, and eagerly expecting their first child. Or is she? When she falls and hits her head in spin class, Alice comes to with the firm belief that she is 29 years old. However, after her visit to the hospital, she learns the truth: she is 39 years old, is in the middle of an ugly divorce, and has 3 children. With the past 10 years a complete blank, Alice now has to piece together her life and find out just how she's gotten to where she is . . . and if there is any way to go back.
I have read other books by this author, and had anticipated the same kind of fast-paced read as before. I thought the story here was interesting, where Alice has to use what she learns from other people to piece together what has happened in the last ten years. Because what other people tell her can be subjective, it's especially tricky. But, like her other books, Moriarty does a nice job of weaving together characters' lives, with ups and downs. And, it's interesting to picture yourself in Alice's position. At times, it felt a little too unreal, but this was a good Sunday afternoon read.
