If you only read two novels this summer, these are the two that I would recommend for your summer reading 2013 list. I enjoyed every second of these page turners and isn’t that what summer reading is about?
What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty
Alice is a 39 year old woman in the middle of a bitter divorce who takes a knock to the head and thinks she is now 29 and pregnant with her first child. Her interactions with her children, family and ex husband are from the perspective of a 29 year old woman who doesn’t remember any of the “history” of the past 10 years. Thought provoking and funny. I thought it was a fun summer read!
Me Before You by Jojo Moyes
I couldn’t put this book down. It’s a heartbreaking romantic story about 2 people who have very little in common but fall in love anyway. If you think you’ve read a book like that before, you haven’t. This one really has a twist and it makes you think about what you would do in their situation and if you could choose someone else’s eternal happiness over your own eternal loss.

I’m almost done with What Alice Forgot and I will be reserving the second one you recommended from the library! Thanks so much for the recommendations, and safe travels home.

I just finished What Alice Forgot, and read Me Before You on our recent trip to Florida. Me Before You had me crying multiple times, and What Alice Forgot was a nice easy read. I was satisfied with both! Now on to some non-fiction that won’t be nearly as “good” 🙂
