My Thoughts

I wasn’t really sure I wanted to read THE SUGAR QUEEN at first. To be honest, I was worried it would make me crave sugary treats and I don’t need that in my life. Fortunately, it didn’t do that and I ended up really liking the story. The characters were fun to read about and I loved the magical realism. I’ll definitely give this author another try.

My Thoughts

I haven’t stayed up late reading for a very long time. When I’d finish a reading, I’d want to get right back to WHAT ALICE FORGOT. The story just drew me right in. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, and I think I may have even dreamed about it a few times.

I thought Moriarty did such a fantastic job with Alice’s memory loss and how it was hard to cope with the person she had become vs. the person she thought she was. It was interesting to see how very real life and all its circumstances changes us and whether that’s good, bad, or simply just is. It was very thought-provoking and makes me want to read more of Moriarty’s novels.
