paperbacktomes 's review for:
Remember Me?
by Sophie Kinsella
My Rating: 2.49 Stars
Since my last SK book wasn't so stellar like TUG or entertaining as I've Got Your Number, I didn't expect much from this book. I just wanted to be a pleasant read.
But I was proven wrong. Again!
I didn't enjoy the first half of the book. Though it was filled with humor, I couldn't appreciate the jokes because laughing or ignoring the fact that someone is suffering from amnesia isn't funny to me. This made me dislike the story.
However, I enjoyed the second half of the book, which was hilarious. There were a few instances where Lexi cracked me up. This was typical SK magic I was looking for, and I'm glad to have found it in this book.
Though this book deals with pretty serious topics, it kept everything light with sarcasm and humor. Lexi's sister and colleagues deal with her callously and bluntly. They keep forgetting that she has amnesia and makes her feel bad about it. People try to manipulate her memories and try to take advantage of her situation, often.
Her husband was at least making an effort to help her gain her memories. But he couldn't see that she wasn't happy with him. He had no clue about the real Lexi. The only person who knew her personally was Jon, with whom she has an affair. There goes my only likable character.
While I liked him as a person, I wished he wasn't the other guy in the book.
On the whole, this book is a blend between The Undomestic Goddess and Can You Keep a Secret. If you enjoyed reading them, you might want to pick this up.
