What Alice Forgot, Liane Moriarty

Read on the Kindle after purchasing for 99p on Kindle Daily Deal.

Alice Love falls off her step class in 2008 and wakes up thinking it's 1998, she's desperately in love with her husband and expecting their first child.  In reality she is the mother of three children and going through a bitter divorce.

Many similarities to Oh Dear Silvia by Dawn French, where you learn about the protagonist through others' eyes.

Although many of the characters were stereotypes, and the central premise may seem a bit contrived I enjoyed this book greatly.  Alice's confusion never descends into farce, and her emotional state rang true.
