I really enjoyed this book and found it to be an easy read. I will say it takes turns that I could not imagine. It is really funny from the beginning but it does have a serious side also.

I don't know what to say about this book. Did it make it past an editor? I'm thinking no. I'm going to read at least one of the author's other books, hopefully this was a fluke.

Where has this author been hiding all my life. No this is not as good as Stupid and Contagious but it is definately worth the time I spent on it. It kept me turning pages. I am anxiously awaiting the next venture from this overlooked author.

It was a slow start but I really grew on me as it went on. I liked seeing the different stages of Jordan’s transformation.

I was looking for something light, simple and uncomplicated to read in these strange times, and that's what I got.

I wish I could give this book 4.5 stars. I more than "liked it," but wouldn't necessarily call it "amazing." It was a very clever tale of Jordan Landau, a 25-year-old ad agency employee (almost the lowest rung on the ladder), who hated her boyfriend, her mother, and her boss. So one day, while riding her bike down the crowded, rainy streets of NYC, she's hit by a car. In the hospital she has a flash of brilliance. Why not just fake amnesia? Now was her chance to reinvent herself. With the help of her best friend, Todd, that is just what Jordan does. So ensues the real adventures of Jordan Landau, amnesia patient. the story follows her attempts at balancing cultivating a "new" life and trying to maintain her lie. But then one day, a curveball gets thrown into the mix, and puts the brakes on her little game. Now Jordan has to figure her life out for real, and figure out what it is she truly wants. Dun dun dun!
Actually it was realy cute. It was well written, and quirky, both qualities I've come to expect from Caprice Crane. It was frought with pop-culture references and song lyrics. There were some laugh-out-loud moments and some gasp-out-loud moments. There was even a I-know-it's-2am-but-I-can't-sleep-because-I-need-to-know-what's-going-to-happen-next moment. I read it in about 2-3 days. It was a lot of fun. :)
