This book had me captivated from the first chapter. I felt drawn in and personally invested in each of the characters, even the ones I didn't like. For several nights in a row, I stayed up until midnight just to read one (or five) more chapters.

The pace is typical of a 'whodunit' mystery, although the mystery is not a murder, but the ten years that Alice forgets, and how she transitioned from a wide-eyed twenty nine year old to her brisk and busy thirty nine year old self.

This book had me asking "what if that happened to me? how would I react?" a lot....and the answer was that Liane Moriarty hit the nail on the head. The story is believable, charming, a beautiful blend of comedy and drama, and the characters will remind you of yourself at times.

I highly recommend this book, especially to female readers. It would also be a great one for book clubs!
