What Alice Forgot

What DID Alice forget? Well, after a fall at the gym, apparently everything! I'm beginning to truly adore these amnesiac stories - really! I am! How many ways can it happen? How long will it last? Will the husband be a baddie or a good guy? But I digress....this is about Alice. Why did she forget? She even forgot her own kids!! And none of the people from her past like her anymore including her sister or husband! Hmmmm....
While this all seems a bit trite when written this way, the book itself actually is quite marvelous. As Alice tries to rediscover herself and her memories, she learns a great deal about why she changed over the years, the events that led to those changes and how they affected all of those around her including, or most especially, her sister, Elizabeth.
In a sense, this is a lot like "It's a Wonderful Life" as Alice learns to appreciate her old self once more. It was a very redemptive book; I think one of Moriarty's best.

This was the first Moriarty book I read and I really liked it too! :)
I feel like this book is an unmined gem in Moriarty's arsenal--at least where I am. Not much attention paid, but a truly enjoyable story.

Not much attention paid, but a truly enjoyable story."It does seem to get over shadowed by the block busters but I like the message in this one. I'm also discovering that all of her books have these hidden messages in them. You can read them as lite, entertaining chick-lit, or you can go a little deeper. It took me a few books to figure that out. I'm slow. 😉
Great review, Mackey!
Great review. I agree with you that it is one of her best!!
Excellent review Mackey! So glad you loved this one too! 😊
