I think of Liane Moriarty's books as being best sellers, plot heavy, popular beach reads. I've been reading for book clubs. Booker prize authors, challenging reads, beautiful sentences, actually "exquisite" sentences. This book isn't that. It pulled me in, kept me reading and, if it's a beach read, what a good one it is. I've watched the film version of "Big Little Lies." The same. Grabs the viewer and it's hard to stop watching. The book was just what I needed. My husband has been sick with a v

4.5 stars. Good heavens I loved this book. I think that when you read a book that makes you examine your own life, it's a good book. Alice is 39, but when she falls at the gym and wakes up she thinks she's 29 and is surprised at all the turns that her life has made in the last decade.

What would you do if you wake up and find out that you’ve lost ten years of your life? For Alice, a knock on the head results in awakening to find that her perfect marriage is on the rocks, her unborn child is now ten years old and the very face she looks at in the mirror doesn’t reflect who she feels inside. As memories resurface, she realizes that she has a chance to change her life and become who she was meant to be all along.
Chic-lit. Wondered why they let her out of the hospital when she can't remember her own children. But it does make you wonder what your younger self would think of your older self and how much can change in ten years even though nothing seems to change much at all.

A silly sweet book. A little flimsy, but I loved it.
