Today, I’m linking up with Blonde…Undercover Blonde for Book Club Friday.
Synopsis:
Alice finds herself waking up from an unconscious state on the floor of the gym, surrounded by unfamiliar people. She believes she is 29, newly married, new homeowner, pregnant with her first child and hates the gym. In all actuality, she is 39, going thru a divorce, stay at home mom to three children and is a fitness freak. Imagine the confusion.
Alice isn’t the only one having a hard time facing reality. She is figuring out why her relationship with her sister has become so distant only to realize her sister has been battling hurdles for the last ten years herself.
Thru healing from her head injury she has to piece together the last ten years, her new friendships and lost friendships. Alice isn’t happy with who she has become and the book takes you on her journey to find the Alice that she and her loved ones love.
Thoughts:
The book was pretty good. It’s not only about Alice but her husband, children, sister and friends. Liane Moriarty ensured that readers were on the journey with Alice and her family and each point of view is expressed and felt. Imagine your mom not remembering who you are. Imagine not remembering small moments from the last ten years. Imagine trying to reconnect with yourself. It’s a great book. I recommend checking it out!
I started this book and then life got in the way and then the libaray called and wanted it back…so I have yet to finish it but I cannot wait to get my hands back on it!
Hi Megan, your comment made me laugh. Most books I get from the library I need to renew a couple times before I finish them. This one was pretty good though! Let me know how you like it!
