** 2 stars
I had to slog through this one and considering how outstanding The Husband's Secret was, that's pretty disappointing. I'm still not sure if this was silly chick lit or a legitimate family drama. The essential conceit is pretty silly, that's for sure, but I think some of the points were played for drama.
I found I didn't really care what Alice forgot. I found I was interested in some of Alice's story and the stories of her children and her sister but some of the other stuff was dull. Glad I'm done with it; it was okay but it's a good reminder that sometimes there's a good reason why an author's breakout book isn't in their back list.
