What a wonderful surprise! A mysterious package from the fabulous Parnassus Books in Nashville containing this from my delightful friend Margaret....a "welcome to summer" and "hope this holds you til her new book comes out" gift. Can't wait to read it!
Probably 3.5 stars rounded up to a 4 - a very clever idea for a book - a woman wakes up from a nasty bump on the head to find that she doesn't remember the last ten years of her life....she believes she's pregnant with her first child when she act ...more

Thank you for a wonderful weekend Liane Moriarty! I was completely engrossed in this story of a woman who loses 1o years worth of memories, and has to learn to reconcile her feelings as memories seep back into her consciousness.

This was just what I needed after a string of heavy books. At this very moment I'm giving it 5 stars. Not that it was the best thing I've ever read but it was a perfect summer read.
