Publisher's Summary

When Alice Love surfaces from a beautiful dream to find she's been injured in a gym, she knows that something is very wrong – she hates exercise. Alice's first concern is her baby – she's pregnant with her first child, and she's desperate to see her husband, Nick, whom she knows will be worried about her. But Alice isn't pregnant. And Nick isn't worried. Alice is the mother of three children and her hostile husband is in the process of divorcing her. Alice has lost ten years of her life.

In the days that follow, small bubbles of the past rise to the surface, and Alice is forced to confront uncomfortable truths. It turns out forgetting might be the most memorable thing that's ever happened to her.

Alice forgot a whole lot

The narrator was so good that every time she voiced a child whining or screaming I felt like jumping out a window. The story was good. The first 2-3 hours are excruciating, as they are basically in real time. Alice's story was interesting and not too predictable, which was nice. I also liked that the supporting characters had real, full stories of their own. Especially Alice's sister, Elizabeth, who is not just there to tell the reader what Alice forgot. Sometimes it was a little too wordy in places. Overall pretty good. #Audible1

Really good story

But——the biggest problem was the narrator. I didn’t mind her so much for Alice, but I had a lot of problems when she did the other characters because she hardly changed her voice. A couple of times I totally missed that it was someone else talking and had to go back and re listen. The story itself was excellent and I loved the ending

Very elegantly written and narrated

The book drags on a little bit, but I still really enjoyed it. LOVE the narrators voice, I would love to listen to another book by this narrator. The author writes very elegantly, I recommend Big Little Lies by this author as well!!

Another great novel.

I have yet to be disappointed by either Liane’s stories or her rich characters. The women in her stories are real and the events relatable.
I love the narrator’s accent. I always find myself thinking to myself in that accent for days to follow.

Disappointed by the ending.

Most of this book was original, well written and enjoyable. Unfortunately, for me, the ending was a cop out; it just didn't seem reasonable that the character defined in the story would act that way.

Another hit

Another hit by Moriarty. The story was wonderful to lose yourself in. Was sometimes distracted by the reader/narrator with background noise (slight shuffling of paper), but really liked her soothing voice. I looked forward to listening to the book.

Very good

The story was fun, I laughed out loud and was also genuinely sad at times. The narrator had a nice voice with good interpretation. Highly recommend if you liked other books of Moriarty

What Alice forgot

Loved this book. Makes you think about life in general and what would you do if you couldn't remember 10 years of your life?

Ms. Moriarty Always Tells a Good Story

A good story, as I expected. Slow at times but still kept my interest. The narrator was good also.
