Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella


Lexi Smart is having the time of her life... Not. Come on, really. Hanging out in the rain, snockered beyond belief, denied a bonus at work, father's funeral in the morning and stood up by her boyfriend Loser Dave AGAIN.. why would she be having the time of her life? So it makes total sense that she would slip and hit her head only to wake up three years later. Well, not technically. You see.. she hasn't been in a coma for three years, but she was in a car accident three years later and when she comes to in the hospital she has lost three years of her memory. Great.


Then things start to look up, she sees her reflection in the mirror and instead of a snaggletooth, frizzy haired, chubby 25-year-old; She is a gleamy smile, sleek haired, skinny minny 27-year-old. Oh and she has a huge diamond ring on her left hand and her husband is as hott as an Armani model and carries a (real!) Louis Vuitton purse and she is the big boss of the department that she was only a junior sales rep for three years earlier. If only everything would last like it is, slowly Lexi discovers that she doesn't have any of her old friends anymore because she's a bitch-boss-from-hell. She also realizes that she doesn't love her fairytale husband and to top it off she is having an affair!



This book was great: well-written, entertaining characters, wonderful (if not cheesy) plot. I was pulled in from the very beginning and laughed quite a bit. I love the relationships that Lexi has and tries to form as she tries to piece her life back together. The further along we go, the more it's revealed that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. And it's frustrating to watch Lexi fight against her lover, Jon, when it's so obvious she should be with him! Wonderful book, quick read.. Definitely suggest it!!
