Rating: - Remember Me?

Kudos to Sophie Kinsella for taking a soap-operatic topic like memory loss and turning it into a fully non-cliched book! Not only that, she takes the usually flat genre of chick-lit and brings in a massive dose of suspense, leaving the reader positively on their toes trying to find out what happens next. While many chick-lit books may have interesting plots and plot twists, none of them really brings in an element of mystery, from what I've read so far, at least. It was slightly difficult, ...

Rating: - Excellent audio edition. Very good story...superbly read
Twenty-something single Lexi Smart has a life that is going nowhere. She is not very attractive, her career is nothing great, and her love life is lackluster at best. Then, running for a cab, she falls and hits her head and wakes up three years later stunningly beautiful, super-successful, and married to a "perfect" man. But she has no memory of the past three years! Lexi is thrilled she is living the life she has always dreamed of...but is it all too good to be true?

Rating: - Fast read, but lacked emotional resonance
I'm a fan of Kinsella so pushed my way through this novel, but I'm happy I got it as an ARC and didn't actually have to pay for it in hardcover -- I was disappointed. The exploration of relationships (romantic, familial, friendly, etc.) is a tenant of chick lit, I think, and I found this book to be lacking in pretty much every area.

Main character Lexi is, to me, a wholly unlikeable character -- both before she's in the accident and after. Once a dowdy woman lacking direction and enjoying good ... Read More

Rating: - Couldn't Put it Down!
I own and have read all of Sophie Kinsella's books, and this woman has yet to disappoint me. Her writing is so funny and sharp, and her characters are always so realistic, even the over-the-top ones, like Lexi's husband, Eric. I found myself in Lexi's position, wanting to love Eric, but ending up completely repulsed, and vice versa with Jon. I also loved the added twist of all her BFF's hating her, but having her win them back. The scene with the muffin basket is unforgettable!

Ms. Kinsella, ... Read More

Rating: - Soap Opera Book
Reviewers said, "funny" "inspiring" and "romantic" yet I felt as though I was reading a soap opera. I knew what was going to happen before it did happen, expected the outcome and finished the book uninspired and looking for a Days of Our Lives episode.

If you want fluff to forget your woes, read the book (or watch Samantha Who) but if you are looking for spark, romance, and a little tear jerk action, look elsewhere.
