Remember Me?

The last thing Lexi Smart remembers was being a frizzy-haired, snaggle-toothed, badly paid young professional with a loser boyfriend. But one day she wakes up to a completely different life: a great job, capped teeth, an amazing house and…a handsome husband?

Courtesy of a nasty bump on the head, Lexi has amnesia. She’s completely forgotten the last three years of her life and has woken up in the hospital with straight, glossy hair, a platinum American Express card, and a Louis Vuitton purse. Her lips also seem to be plumper than she remembers… but she has more important things to deal with. Like trying to remember her husband. Or comprehend how her little sister went from being a sweet little girl to a law-breaking smart ass. Or why all her friends hate her.

Lexi soon realizes that she’s become a no-carb-eating-bitch-boss-from-hell who may or may not be having an affair with one of her husband’s business partners and has managed to alienate all her old friends. Her new life is filled with beige suits, perfect chignons and a computerized pet (less mess). Lexi’s just trying to figure out what the hell happened in the last three years.

Remember Me? is the latest book from Sophie Kinsella, the author of the Shopaholic books. I am a HUGE fan of the Shopoholic books and picked up Remember Me? the first day it was out. It’s an entertaining book packed with awkward moments, a lot of wit, and the expected slice of romance. There’s not as much verve as there is in the Shopaholic books, but it’s a great story with interesting characters…and a little bit of a mystery that explains Lexie’s great transformation.
