When twenty-eight-year-old Lexi Smart wakes up in a London hospital, she’s in for a big surprise. Her teeth are perfect. Her body is toned. Her handbag is Vuitton. Having survived a car accident—in a Mercedes no less—Lexi has lost a big chunk of her memory, three years to be exact, and she’s about to find out just how much things have changed. Somehow Lexi went from a twenty-five-year-old working girl to a corporate big shot with a sleek new loft, a personal assistant, a carb-free diet, and a set of glamorous new friends. And who is this gorgeous husband—who also happens to be a multimillionaire? With her mind still stuck three years in reverse, Lexi greets this brave new world determined to be the person she…well, seems to be. That is, until an adorably disheveled architect drops the biggest bombshell of all. Suddenly Lexi is scrambling to catch her balance. Her new life, it turns out, comes complete with secrets, schemes, and intrigue. How on earth did all this happen? Will she ever remember? And what will happen when she does?
I have now read all of Sophie Kinsella's books. She is truly one of my favorite authors. Can You Keep A Secret is one of my favorite books of all time. I also thoroughly enjoyed most of the Shopaholic books. Remember Me? is not one of my favorites, unfortunately. I didn't think the dialogue wasn't as witty as her previous books. It was a very quick read (which I love) but I kept waiting for it to get more interesting. I did appreciate how the heroine wasn't as dumbwitted as the heroine in The Undomestic Goddess. I couldn't wait until this book was released...in fact I purchased it instead of borrowing it from the library like I do for most books....but sadly, I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

I loved Kinsella's previous novels, Can You Keep A Secret, Undomestic Goddess, Shopaholic & Sister, and Shopaholic & Baby. They kept me laughing all the way through and they showed a clueless yet funloving protaganist female character. Remember Me comes across with a great plot, but it just isn't as good as previous Kinsella novels. I didn't enjoy the profanity, the infidelity, or the coldness of the characters in this story. It lacked an easy going quality that most Kinsella novels have as well as humor. I hope Kinsella's next book will be as good as previous novels because I'd rather forget her current book.

Kinsella, author of the Shopaholic books, combines humor, mystery and drama to produce a bang up book. Like her other heroines, Lexi Smart is adorable, smart and a little klutzy. Smart has amnesia and wakes up to what appears to be a perfect life - or is it? Buy this book now for fun entertainment.
