Book Reviews of Remember Me?
Book Review: Whose Life is this??
Summary: 5 Stars
The last thing that Lexi Smart remembers before waking up in a hospital bed it was 2004 and she had been out drinking with her friends trying to forget the boyfriend that had stood her up, and the father whose funeral was the next day.
What she finds when she wakes up is that it is 2007, she is married to a millionaire, her teeth are fixed, her friends hate her and she is now in charge of the department that she worked in.
Over the next couple of months Lexi tries to get her memory back so that she can remember the last three years of her life and how she went from a frumpy snaggle tooth with a crap job to a hard nose bitch with perfect teeth and a great job.
I found this book to be very entertaining. Lexi is a character that anybody can relate to and the charactors of her mother, sister, and friends both old and new are a hoot.
Book Review: Fun. Light, and Entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
I thoroughly enjoyed Kinsella's shopaholic series, and with a little hesitation tried out her newest release. As in her other series, I was sucked in by the realistic emotions and thoughts of her main character. As you begin the book, you find the main character wakes up, has amnesia, and has lost the last three years of her life. I loved watching her freak out over the perfect life she has seemed to move into, with her perfect new body, perfect new teeth, perfect new home, and perfect new husband! You feel for her though as she tries to grasp what happened to the more "real" person she once was. Even though I sometimes thought I knew what was going to happen, I appreciated being fooled by the varied ways Kinsella brought the story together. I have to say, I want a sequel so that I know what happens once she puts her life back together!Book Review: Kinsella Does It Again
Summary: 5 Stars
Kinsella makes the reader care about Lexi. At first her shallow interests make you wonder if she's up to being the heroine but she "grows on you." Lexi transforms from being a bit of a loser, into the woman who has it all. Due to a 3-year memory gap (from an accident), she struggles to comprehend how she ended up with the perfect marriage to a wealthy man and being the boss in a high-powered job. Gradually she realizes that along the way, she's lost all her friends, and now without her memory, may lose her job, and even the husband. To make it even trickier, there are family issues and a possible new love interest.
Kinsella knows how to pull these elements together and there's humor and angst before it all ends.
I'm eager to read another Kinsella, so I hope she's working on it now.
Book Review: Interesting and Thought-provoking
Summary: 5 Stars
I truly enjoyed this book. It was so interesting to read about someone who has amnesia.
Poor Lexi was torn between her lost memory and what her body wanted to do. Her instincts were right on when she rejected Eric's advances. Although he was her husband, she was in love with someone else. Right away-she was attacted to Jon, but held back because she was married to someone else.
She made a mistake-made the wrong choices: the husband and the cobra attitude to succeed in business.
This reminded me of that dvd: 13 going on 30. They were similiar because the main characters forgot their past (in this book 3 years) and came to the future to find out that they had behaved badly. They made things right and goodness triumphed in the end.
Book Review: Marvelous, dependable author
Summary: 5 Stars
Sophie Kinsella is a marvelous author. One can depend on her novels to be charming and interesting. REMEMBER ME is no exception; in fact, it may be slightly better than the later books in the SHOPAHOLIC series. (SHOPAHOLIC may finally have run out of steam.)
Ultimately, REMEMBER ME is predictable, as all of Kinsella's books are, but with Kinsella, the pleasure is in the journey and not with the final destination.
REMEMBER ME is filled with fascinating details about high-end, of-the-moment London and a far-away reader will come out with a vicarious sense of place.
And, when one gets to the inevitable happy ending, it is with a sense of fulfillment.
REMEMBER ME is Kinsella's best work since the early SHOPAHOLIC books.
