Hello all! So I, "karstrel," wrote this review over the summer...I did do a little bit of editing. Enjoy!
Remember Me? By Sophie Kinsella (author of Confessions of a Shopaholic) 9/10
This was a fascinating story. The plot follows Lexi Smart, a woman who bumps her head in 2004 and wakes up in 2007 as a whole different person. Informed that she has amnesia, which is why she has “time traveled,” she goes about settling into her new, seemingly perfect life. She has a great job, a great husband, great friends, and a great body. What more could a girl want? After meeting her husband’s friend Jon, she finds out that her world isn’t as perfect as it appears.
I sat on the couch, unmoving, for about three hours and plowed through this book. From the moment Lexi appeared on the page, I was captivated. Here was a complete loser who didn't know how she could possibly go any lower. I could relate to that. I was living with my parents doing nothing, without a job, without any real purpose for the summer. When she wakes up and is this whole new person, I admit I was a little let down. The book has a lot of twists and turns to it that made it a book that you couldn't stop reading. After she finds out she's married to this total stud who is attentive and loving and, really, perfect, she figures her life must be totally awesome. The best part of the whole book was when Stud Husband (he really doesn't deserve to have a name) gave her a manual he made for her, so she could remember how to live her own life. There was a section for everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING. From breakfast, to making love (I laughed for at least a minute at this. It's one of the funniest parts of the book when she reads this part and the subheadings...). There were a few other laugh out loud moments that made it enjoyable. I have to say that the book was well plotted and well written. If it wasn't chick lit, I'm sure more people would enjoy Sophie's style.
