Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella Book Review

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?

If you're really into reading you'll probably understand what I'm going to say...

There are lots of books out there. From dreadful horror to mushy romance. Sometimes we read a particular book, out of curiosity, maybe because everyone's talking about it or just because the cover looks good, or  for whatever reason you may have in mind.

Sometimes, you'll encounter a book that will take you ages to finish. You know it's good, and that's the reason you still want to read it, but then you feel too lazy to turn to the following page. And there are those books that would make you grip, keep your eyes open in the middle of the night, until you finally come to the very last page.

That's what I admire about authors. They have different styles of story-telling. Some feels so alive while others are just soooo plain boring. :)

After reading three Nicholas Sparks' for months in a row, I decided to lighten up my spirit.

So I picked this book. I don't know why, probably because of the cover.

For two nights, I've slept at four o'clock in the morning. The first day, I wasn't that addicted but yesterday, I didn't stop until I got to the very last page. (okay, maybe I stopped to eat and to take a shower.)

The book is funny, like most Sophie Kinsella books. I'm a fan of hers you know. :)

I've also read Can You Keep a Secret?, of the same author. The characters are the same, even the story has similarities; the main character having a not so good luck and then something good comes her way.

But this one absolutely lifted my mood. And it teaches me a lot about life, in a humorous way. :)

The love story is cute as well. I always like love stories where the guy is a serious type and the girl is all clumsy and funny. Sounds like the Princess Diaries isn't it? I think that is the point. You don't need to be pretty and sparkly like Barbie for someone to like you. It's always best to be loved for who you really are.

And what else did I learn from this one?

You don't need to have all the glamorous things in life to be happy.
