Alice is twenty-nine. She is whimsical, optimistic and adores sleep, chocolate, her ramshackle new house and her wonderful husband Nick. What's more, she's looking forward to the birth of the 'Sultana' - her first baby.
But now Alice has slipped and hit her head in her step-aerobics class and everyone's telling her she's misplaced the last ten years of her life.
In fact, it would seem that Alice is actually thirty-nine and now she loves schedules, expensive lingerie, caffeine and manicures. She has three children and the honeymoon is well and truly over for her and Nick. In fact, he looks at her like she's his worst enemy. What's more, her beloved sister Elisabeth isn't speaking to her either. And who is this 'Gina'everyone is so carefully trying not to mention?
Alice isn't sure that she likes life ten years on. Every photo is another memory she doesn't have and nothing makes sense. Just how much can happen in a decade? Has she really lost her lovely husband for ever?

I was glad I finished this book in a week. This is the first English book I ever read. By read, I mean, to read through it. Too many checkups in dictionary before. A vocabulary book can't be read, it's hard work, right? There is still some unfamilar words, ...

看这本书的简介就想到了高晓松说的那句话,“我们终将成为自己最讨厌的人”。 29岁是一段闪闪发光的时光,一切都是新鲜而无辜的。像春天里树枝儿上冒出的嫩嫩绿芽。十年后, 早就物是人非。还好,Alice 短暂的失忆把她从疲惫和厌倦的感情中剥离出来。年轻真好啊~~~

第一次看以澳洲为背景的虚构,澳洲中产阶级生活一窥,与美国中部别无二致,适合家庭主妇或已婚女性消遣练习英语。

小说版的couple therapy书,不是很喜欢结局,有点强行大团圆的感觉,而且整本书都太中产了,无法共鸣
