What Alice Forgot

the thing i love most about this book is the flow. the writing is just so effortlessly easy that you cant help but get sucked into the narrative and then all of the sudden youre already 300 pages in. its just one of those books where you can breeze right through.
i also really enjoyed the characters. LM has a strong talent for creating complex, multi-layered characters who, despite their flaws, you cant help but end up liking. they always feel like real people to me and this book is no exception.
my only little critique would be the interludes - i didnt find elizabeth and frannys letters to be that interesting. at the beginning, i understood their role. they provided additional POVs to give the reader information since alice forgot the past ten years. but then, as the narrative progressed, i didnt quite see the purpose and i quickly found myself skimming through them to get back to alices POV.
but overall, this is a very interesting story with an engaging premise that offers a lot of room to explore family dynamics, what healthy relationships look like, and the power of memory and personal growth.
↠ 3.5 stars

This book seems like an interest read
This is one of my favourites of hers 😍😍
Love LM’s complex characters! 🫶🏼
I enjoyed this one too, and agree with you about the letter interludes. And as usual she has complex and interesting characters as well as entertaining dialogue!
