Alice Love is twenty-nine, crazy about her husband, and pregnant with her first child.

So imagine Alice’s surprise when she comes to on the floor of a gym and is whisked off to the hospital where she discovers the honeymoon is truly over — she’s getting divorced, she has three kids and she’s actually 39 years old. Alice must reconstruct the events of a lost decade, and find out whether it’s possible to reconstruct her life at the same time. She has to figure out why her sister hardly talks to her, and how is it that she’s become one of those super skinny moms with really expensive clothes.

Ultimately, Alice must discover whether forgetting is a blessing or a curse, and whether it’s possible to start over.

Alice forgets the last ten years of her life after an inoffensive accident. She wakes up to find that she's living a life completely opposite to the one she had planned out.

Her last memories are around her happy marriage and being pregnant with her first child, but now she's suddenly the mom of the 3 kids and filling for divorce... but why? how?

What Alice Forgot is beautifully written and full of nuances. All the characters are amazingly well-placed and add-up details to understanding Alice's story.

You come to realize that it is okay to change, but that sometimes we need to take a step back and look at some situations as you were not involved, or with yourself's younger perspective. Sure, you grow up and learn and therefore are always becoming the best version of you, but would the old me have something to say about this? Am I still following the guidelines and dreams I've once had? And why not? What was so wrong with it???

Even thought the start went a bit slow for me, I've read this book quite fast and really immersed myself on this family and its dilemmas. Elisabeth is one of my favorite character development's!
