I inhaled this book, and I adored this book.
This book just hit that sweet spot inside me where the very best books go. I don't even know how Moriarty does it, on the surface her characters are people I don't identify with, and yet ... I identify. Oh, how I identify!!
I've seen a lot of reviews discussing whether this is "chick lit" or "psychological thriller" or something else entirely. It's none of those. It's not genre fiction. This is about how people change (or don't change) as they age, how ...more

Finally a new chick lit author I enjoy as much as Marian Keyes. I like that there's a little more depth to her writing and the characters. Interesting to think about how much our lives change and we change as people in 10 years.

I really did not like the first half of this book. I found Alice to be incredibly immature and unlikable. I did however like the letters from Frannie and Elizabeth's journal enough to keep reading. The second half of the book as Alice started to remember bits of things was much better.
Definitely not one of my favorite of her books. ...more
