Review: Kiss Me First

Review: What Alice Forgot
Alice Love is 29, crazy about her husband, and pregnant with her first child. Imagine Alice’s surprise when she wakes up 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.

Ultimately, Alice must discover whether forgetting is a blessing or a curse, and whether it’s possible to start over.

It’s the run-up to Christmas (I know some people are Scrooges, but I’m really not!), which means I’m looking forward […]
