What Alice Forgot is a romantic-comedy novel about the eventful life of a 39 year old woman named Alice. One day, Alice wakes up and can't remember the past ten years of her life. in all this time she has gotten married, had children that she now cannot recall, and her marriage is being torn apart by divorce that she doesn't remember filing for. Alice's incident turns her memory clock back 10 years back. Alice's journey to recreate her present life takes her on a series of challenges that tear her between her old self and her new self that she chooses to be. She struggles with her own identity and struggles to find a confidant, forcing her to be her own best friend. Through her ups and downs, Alice is a very admirable, strong female lead that I believe a lot of women, young and old, can relate to. This book is for anyone who loves a great plot and a good laugh.
