Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella Reviews
#897 in Books

Description

After taking a nasty bump on the head, Lexi Smart awakens in a hospital convinced that it's 2004 and that she's just missed her father's funeral. It's actually three years later, and she no longer has crooked teeth, frizzy hair and a loser boyfriend. Initially wowed by what she's become—a gorgeous, cut-throat businesswoman—Lexi soon finds herself attempting to figure out how it happened. As her personality change and lost memory threaten her job, Lexi tries to dredge up some chemistry with her handsome albeit priggish husband, Eric, though the effort is unnecessary with Eric's colleague Jon, who tells Lexi that she was about to leave Eric for him. Amnesia tales may be old hat, but Kinsella keeps things fresh and frothy with workplace politicking, romantic intrigue and a vibrant (though sometimes caricatured) cast.

    I like the premise behind this book - she has amnesia and wants to remember her life, we all know that one. But what if your life seems to have changed drastically during the time you can't remember? What if instead of helping to put pieces together everyone seems fishy? New friends, new clothes, new job, new husband... That's where we find our heroine.

    I enjoyed the possible deep subject matter (a la that Harrison Ford movie about amnesia) being told in a fun, fictional way. I enjoyed that we only know as much as the main character knows, so we're suspicious too.

    I am not a Sophie reader, this was my first book of hers, and I thoroughly enojyed it and read it in 2 nights because I wanted to know the ending so bad!
