Unplugging until 2016

Sun, sand, strawberries and champagne - that is what I have planned for the remainder of 2015. To all my wonderful readers, have an awesome holiday season, and see you on the other side!

What Alice Forgot

It's difficult to write a book about memory loss that's different from all the other books about the topic. And so Liane Moriarty's "What Alice Forgot" starts off on a not-too-different trajectory to Sophie Kinsella's "Remember Me", with a heroine who doesn't remember the last x years of her life, and finds herself older, fitter, and richer.

Nevertheless, the plot diverges from there, and the resulting story is riveting. Beautiful writing. Realistic characters. Spot-on observations about love and marriage.

i mean

how could i resist

how did i
