What Alice Forgot

I hate unhappy endings and cliches - when they are badly intertwined, after all life is a series of cliches. And I was a bit hesitant about this book because I didn't love the previous Lianne Moriarty's books so much as to read a third one, and there are so many books in the world I feel I shouldn't be spending time on rereading less than great authors.
But I read good reviews and liked the plot... and by the end of the first chapter I was sooo rooting for Alice. She is such a flawed, lovable, girl next door simpleton character.
I'm glad I stuck with this one.
