I thought about choosing this for book club but was worried it would be too depressing. It wasn't depressing at all and would have made an excellent book club pick. I loved it so much! A cautionary tale for those of us who get carried away with saying yes to activities and letting our perfectionist tendencies take over, but it was funny and uplifting and reassuring for all that. Alice was so relatable, the kids so realistically portrayed, and the arc of her relationships with her sister and husband so believable. (There was some suspension of disbelief required for the whole memory thing, but everything else was so good I didn't mind it at all.) I'm off to hug my husband, tell my sister a secret, rely upon my friends more, and be more careful about catty comments. Thanks for the New Year's resolutions Ms. Moriarty!
