I wanted to enjoy a funny book to bring myself back to normalcy after reading a really creepy thriller. Sadly this didn't work. I've enjoyed Sophie Kinsella's books in the past ( I've got your number and Twenties Girl are my favorite) but sadly I'm not enjoying it anymore. The premise of the book was interesting but I didn't care about the main character enough to continue.
I'll try another fluffy book for now.

Remember Me? is... predictable, and as much as I wanted to, I couldn't connect to the heroine.
Yet, it's also incredibly sweet at times, though not as funny as Kinsella's other works.

This is definetely one of my favorites from Kinsella, I felt like I was in another world and I wanted to know more and more as I was reading. I wish it was longer and I want to read it again, and that's exactly how a good book should make you feel. I really hope this won't be made into a movie because The confessions of a shopaholic and Can you keep a secret? were a disaster compared to the books. I just love the unexpectedness of the plot, I recommend it if you like a little bit of magic on a good written book.
Loved the plot for this book; kind of like a clean slate.
Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella 4★
I've been procrastinating in reading this book. I've read all of Sophie Kinsella's other books (minus 4 to + of the Shopaholic series). I love Kinsella's stand alone books. Can You Keep a Secret? and I've Got Your Number are my favorites.
I tried reading Remember Me when it was published but didn't like Lexi. I had skipped to the ending when I first tried this. I liked the ending and Jon, but not enough to try reading it through. That attempt was back in 2008.
The storyline and Lexi reminded me of the show Samantha Who? Samantha and Lexi both have amnesia. Both come to find out they have this dream job and life. But that they're a Capital "B" and don't have that many friends and a poor love life. They thankfully try to change and be a better person. I liked the show. Remember Me? had about the same comedy touch and ok character development of a woman with amnesia. Lexi was more real in this case and she didn't get the memory flashbacks like Samantha did.
The beginning of the story, Lexi is flighty, her Mum and sister Amy are withdrawn and seemed uncaring. The mother doesn't change that much. She still has this weird obsession and need to love her dogs more than her two daughters.
I wished there was a way to just skip past the beginning. A lot of it was redundant and the characters weren't that likeable. I really didn't like Eric, Lexi's husband. I know he was supposed to resemble Lexi's fairy tale husband image, but I didn't see it. The guy did have a lot of money, but so did Lexi. So that's why I got annoyed with Lexi for staying with Eric for so long.
Jon Blythe ♥ After Jon comes (back) into Lexi's life the story picks up. He's an architect for the "Loft-Style Living" condos and works with Eric. But he'd rather make homes for those less fortunate. And it was really sweet with how romantic he is.
Btw - Eric's "Marriage-life Manuel"?! Funny and weird.
