About this listen

From the number one New York Times best-selling author of The Husband's Secret and Big Little Lies

A “cheerfully engaging”(Kirkus Reviews) novel for anyone who’s ever asked herself, “How did I get here?”

Alice Love is 29, crazy about her husband, and pregnant with her first child. So imagine Alice’s surprise when she comes to on the floor of a gym (a gym! She HATES the gym) and is whisked off to the hospital, where she discovers the honeymoon is truly over - she’s getting divorced, she has three kids, and she’s actually 39 years old.

Alice must reconstruct the events of a lost decade and find out whether it’s possible to reconstruct her life at the same time. She has to figure out why her sister hardly talks to her, and how is it that she’s become one of those super skinny moms with really expensive clothes. Ultimately, Alice must discover whether forgetting is a blessing or a curse, and whether it’s possible to start over....

What the critics say

"Funny and knowing...[about] what we choose to remember, and fight to forget." (O Magazine)

"The gripping story of a woman who wakes up with a bump on her head and no knowledge of the past ten years...an acutely observed romantic comedy that is both thought-provoking and funny." (Marie Claire, UK)

"The affecting tale of Alice’s chance for a ten-year do-over." (The New York Times)

Great Read

I really enjoyed the story. It was a little confusing at the beginning distinguishing the characters. All in all, a great. The storyline kept me guessing.

I loved this book!

This is my favorite kind of audiobook… a fascinating and unique storyline, with relatable and complicated characters, that leaves me with a contemplative afterglow as thoughtfully sift through my own experiences and consider how I can apply it to my own life. Well done! And thank you!

overall good listen

A bit slow to start, repetitive and tedious to listen to but once it gets to the point of the story it's actually very interesting
