Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella
What would you do is you woke up 3 years in the future with no memory of those past 3 years? That is the premise of Remember Me by Sophie Kinsella. A woman, Lexi, wakes up in 2007 and the last thing she remembers is 2004 - and that is just the beginning. Her entire appearance has changed, her friends hate her, she has a gorgeous husband who she doesn't remember at all, and she is the b**** boss from hell. Lexi has to decide what is important to her - this new life or the one she might have left behind.
I love this book because it was so much fun to read. Lexi was getting in and out of problems and holes, making fun of herself at every turn. I will be the first to admit it was not a deep thinking book such as Catcher in the Rye or A Thousand Splendid Suns but when does every book someone reads need to be thought provoking? Whatever you do whether it be watch TV, go see movies, read a book or magazine, the point of it is to entertain you and that is what this book did for me the past 2 weeks. It made me laugh, cry and feel good by the end of it (it was a very predictable ending but some of the best stories have predictable endings). I won't spoil it too much (I might have already done that lol) but there is a happy ending and I am more prone to reading books that have that happy ending because if I am going to dedicate weeks to reading a book I hope that there is at least a little bit of happiness at the end of it.
Getting back to the losing your memory piece of the book, what would you do if you lost the memory of the last 3 years and didn't know anyone in your life especially yourself? That sounds pretty scary. There is so much time in 3 years to miss, anything could have happened. I know that if I were to miss the last 3 years of my life, I would immediately try to see all the movies and read all the books I missed cause those are way too important for me to miss out on!
