I finished What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty last night. I really enjoyed Big Little Lies by her and liked The Husband's Secret as well. I was really hoping for the same type of story in this book.
The book started out interesting. Alice woke up on the floor of the gym with a head injury. She thought she was 29 and pregnant with her first child, but really she is 39 and has 3 children. Her head injury caused her to forget the last 10 yrs of her life. It was interesting to she how Alice had changed as a person over the past 10 yrs. You could tell by people's reaction to her, that she was not the same person she used to be.
There were some clues given to tell us that there were important parts of her memory missing. The biggest were her husband Nick, her sister Elizabeth, and a friend named Gina. I kept waiting for a big twist in the book like in her other 2 books, but I don't feel I got it. I thought the story behind Gina was going to be some huge shock, but it just kind of fell flat. There was no "whoa I didn't see that coming" like in the other books.
The book was an interesting concept, but just wasn't as good as I thought it would be.
