Summary: 4 Stars
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?
I like this book with its deft blend of humor and heartache, along with a budding romance and an intriguing office quandary. 'Remember Me?' is in company with some of Kinsella's best works - which for me include 'Can You Keep a Secret?' and the original 'Shopaholic'. I listened to this one on audio CD and was hooked right from the start. Reader Rosalyn Landor (who is superb and is a favorite of mine) skillfully handles a wide range and age of characters, has excellent comic timing, and really knows how to work one's emotions. I often had a lump in my throat while listening to Lexi's travails.
It is Kinsella's story itself, though, which earns most of the credit. Lexi Smart is a winningly imperfect heroine, and I was quickly consumed with how she got where she was and where it all was heading. I veered between laughter and tears over the absurd circumstances in which Lexi found herself, the off-the-wall behavior of the supporting cast, and the heart-wrenching situations she was forced to endure. While the romance element is fine, it is Lexi's journey of discovery that really makes this book. And I like the message as well.
