What Alice Forgot

De: Liane Moriarty

Narrado por: Tamara Lovatt-Smith

From the number one New York Times best-selling author of The Husband's Secret and Big Little Lies

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

Alice Love is 29, 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....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Funny and knowing...[about] what we choose to remember, and fight to forget." (O Magazine)

"The gripping story of a woman who wakes up with a bump on her head and no knowledge of the past ten years...an acutely observed romantic comedy that is both thought-provoking and funny." (Marie Claire, UK)

"The affecting tale of Alice’s chance for a ten-year do-over." (The New York Times)

Loved It!

I’ve listened to so many bad books in a row, I was tempted to end my membership. I hate wasting so much money. Then I found this gem. Lovely narration of a story that was different from any I’ve read before. My taste generally runs to psychological thrillers, but the last one I read was so stupid I decided to try something different after reading good reviews. So glad I did! I’ve now purchased several others by this author, hoping they’re as good.

This is a story that makes you think. We all want do-overs for part of our lives. We all want to be romanced and loved and feel joy and excitement. What would we do if we could go back with the knowledge we have now? We all think we could improve our lives in one or may ways. Perhaps we could. Perhaps not. We will never know. But we can use what we’ve learned to decide our future, or we can continue living as we do.

This is a fun, entertaining listen that explores these ideas, yet you can never be exactly sure where it’s going and how it will end until the journey is over. I absolutely loved this book!

loved the story!

Any additional comments?

Ironically I listened to the story, while I had a head injury myself. I wasn't allowed to look at screens or read, so I listened to this audiobook, without knowing what it was about. Really loved the story and how it was read. Definitely reminded me that my injury could have been worse. haha

Loved it!!

Another great story by Liane Moriarty! I enjoyed every minute and the performance was interesting to listen to as well!

Perfect.Could have been absurd but was excellent

I really liked the story and the narration was excellent. The voice was perfect. The story was compellling and fun. I would definitely say this is chick lit. The one flaw in the story is lack of medical attention, but it doesn't really matter in the long run.

beautiful story!

At first I was a little confused regarding the characters, who's who?? Once I got it figured out, I fell completely in love with the story. Maybe we all need a "bump on the head" once in a while to appreciate what we have!

great book

what a great book. I will be looking for other books by the same author.

story kept me engaged

I enjoyed this book. It was a little fairytale like, but I liked it despite the predictable ending.

loved it.

love it- this was a very touching story about love, marriage, and relationship. good performance too

Good, but not like her others

What Alice Forgot -it’s a solid book and like all of Moriarty‘s books, it makes you think about your own life. However this does not come close to Her Husband‘s Secret or Big Little Lies. The format is a little hard to follow in an audiobook. The narrator, Tamara Lovatt-Smith does a nice job.

Couldn’t stop listening!

This is my second book by this author and sang she’s good!!! I loved my Husband’s Secret and this one was just as good!! I will definitely be listening /reading all her books !
