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.

loved it!

I love this author and the narrator who seems to have done all her books. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars for the narration was the mouth sounds. I think this was an earlier production compared to the other titles I've listened to, and I can hear some spit swishing and clicks that weren't edited out. don't let it deter you though, it's still highly bingeable!

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.

Worth a downnload

The narrator was spot on. The story was interesting and frustrating and humourous and sad. I quite enjoyed this book and the tale of a damaged, forgetful woman. It kept me listening as I was always curious as to what she would remember/forget. The book kept you guessing.

Edge of my seat to the very end!

First off, Caroline Lee . . . SUCH a wonderful reader. Totally made the story and characters come alive.

And what a story! What characters!

I discovered Liane Moriarty by chance a year ago--hadn't heard of her yet (so don't know where I was living? Under a rock?), but since then I've read and/or listened to the audio books for every one of her novels.

Hilarious, thought-provoking and occasionally tear-triggering, her insights into motherhood, sibling relationships, friendships, and long-term marriages always feel spot on to me.

I adore all of Moriarty's books and WHAT ALICE FORGOT is no exception. I loved it and I'm eagerly awaiting her next story, whatever it will be.

Absolutely Profound

100 percent recommend this book. It was so true to life in many ways, and made me reflect on my own marriage in a helpful way.

Narration was stunning and excellent.

Excellent

Just loved this book. Tore through it. So engaging. What would it feel like to lose a big chunk of your memories? Of your life? This was very well written and I loved all the different stories intertwining.

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
