I am a bit torn on this one. On the one hand, the plot was something I had never seen before, so that was cool. Some of the characters really evolved, but for the most part they were all pretty stagnant. I also think that some of the characters were very shallow and uninteresting, in general. Overall, not a bad book, but the plot was the only thing that made me keep reading to the end, but the payoff was not there.
I love all of Sophie Kinsella's books. They're cute, quick reads. It felt a little slow at the beginning and too reminiscent of '13 Going On 30' but about half way through I really got into it and wanted to know how things turned out. I'm happy with how things ended.
“Every time I think everything’s crap…it just gets even crapper!”... “Wouldn’t it be great if just once, just one time, life fell magically into place?”
************************************************
Enough. I can’t cope with this anymore. I came into hospital five days ago in 2004—but now magically it’s 2007? Where are we, bloody Narnia?
************************************************
“So…have they solved global warming? Or cured AIDS?”
Nicole shrugs. “Not yet.”
You’d think a bit more would have happened in three years. You’d think the world would have moved on. I’m a bit unimpressed by 2007, to be honest.
************************************************
My head’s starting to throb again and I’m a bit dazed. It’s all too much. Amy has blue hair and Brad Pitt has a love child with Angelina Jolie and I have a gorgeous husband who just said he loves me. I’m half-expecting to go to sleep and wake up back in 2004, hungover on Carolyn’s floor, and find this was all a dream.
************************************************
But then, lots of things are funny and sexy. Friends is funny and sexy. It doesn’t mean I’m having an affair with it.
************************************************
The trouble with giving yourself a pep talk is, deep down you know it’s all bullshit.
************************************************
The thing with giving up is you never know. You never know whether you could have done the job. And I’m sick of not knowing about my life.
************************************************
I knew there was a point to marriage. And this is it. Someone to care about you when everything’s crap.
************************************************
“His three girls.” Jon’s voice is drier than ever. “A dog-obsessive in denial, a teenage extortionist, and a screwed-up amnesiac. And all of them in debt. Good work, Michael. Nicely done.”
I shoot him a look. “You don’t think much of my dad, do you?”
************************************************
All I know is, I feel like curling up under a duvet and pretending the world doesn’t exist. I can’t cope with this life of mine. Any of it.
************************************************
“Life can be unpleasant,” Jon says bluntly. “It’s even more unpleasant if you don’t know about it.
************************************************
It’s like Fi said, you have to keep looking forward. I’m getting pretty good at that. Most of the time, it’s as if the past is a whole other area, sealed off in my head, taped down at the edges.

3.5 stars for this charming story. I’ve come to enjoy the writings of this author. Lighthearted reads during these trying times.
Sophie Kinsella is a very hilarious author. I absolutely salute her and her books. What sets her aside from the rest of the writers in the writing community is her ability to make the readers laugh so hard.
Remember Me is a book I enjoyed thoroughly and it's one of those feel good books.

I'm a huge fan of Sophie Kinsella and LOVED this book! It was lots of fun to read, perfect for a summer day. I've read mostly non-fiction lately and this was just what my brain needed!
This was a fun read. You always know Kinsella's main characters will turn out all right in the end. It gave me some Jemima J vibes.
Cute, fun easy read. Not the sort of book that leaves you deep in thought, but it's quirky and funny and romantic and light and perfect with a cuppa tea on my balcony at night. So I'm pleased.
