About this ebook

FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF BIG LITTLE LIES AND HERE ONE MOMENT

A “cheerfully engaging”(Kirkus Reviews) novel for anyone who’s ever asked herself, “How did I get here?”

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 (a gym! She HATES the 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...

Ratings and reviews

Love Liane Moriarty - this one was just as perfectly written as the others I've read, just felt at some moments the story was lagging. But, you know​, still a great read.

The story was easy to relate to and also made me sit back look at life from a different angle. To not take so many things for granted. To relax a bit more. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

This was a little two sweet and cutesy for me at this moment. Maybe I'll read it again in the future when I'm out of psychological thriller/mystery phase.
