Alice Love’s life seems perfect — at least, that’s how she remembers it. After a fall at the gym leaves her with no memory of the past decade, she wakes up believing she’s still newly married, deeply in love, and on the brink of motherhood.
 
Instead, she finds herself in a life she barely recognizes: three children, a failing marriage, and a version of herself that feels like a stranger. As Alice struggles to piece together what happened over the missing ten years, she must confront difficult truths about love, change, and the choices that shape a life.
 
With warmth, humor, and emotional insight, Liane Moriarty explores how relationships evolve — and what we might do differently if given the chance to start again. What Alice Forgot is both a touching and thought-provoking story about rediscovery, forgiveness, and the fragile nature of memory.
