Remember Me - Sophie Kinsella

I have wanted to read the Shopaholic series of books by Sophie Kinsella for ages, but have not got round to it. When I won a copy of 'Remember Me?' in a competition, I was keen to read it, to at least see if I liked her writing style. ~The Plot~ The story starts in 2004. Lexi Smart is 25 years old, and to say she is having a bad day would be an understatement. She has just missed out on getting a bonus at work, and been stood up by her boyfriend. ...
...although they weren't close, and his death wasn't entirely unexpected, she is still dreading it. When Lexi wakes up the next morning, she has a terrible headache and is in unfamiliar surroundings. She realises she is in hospital and calls a nurse. The nurse tells her that she has been in hospital for a week after crashing her Mercedes. Lexi explains that there must be a mistake - she can't drive, and even if she could, she certainly couldn't afford ...

Review of Remember Me - Sophie Kinsella

...when she is trying to remember how to drive (I mean she managed to do a perfect chignon on auto-pilot, surely she should be able to remember how to drive), and trying to remember how to avoid pillars, a dishevelled, sexy guy turns up to help her, and drops another bombshell. What in god’s name happened to her? Will she ever remember how she became this person from who she once was? I have only read one previous novel by Sophia Kinsella, and that ...
...I woke up and couldn’t remember three years of my life and there had been such big changes, I think scared would be the smallest word that I would use to explain my emotion. This book is escapism, pure and simple, and one that managed to keep me engrossed long enough for me to finish in a few hours. I bought this book from my local British Heart Foundation charity shop for £2 RRP £7.99 Play.com- £5.00 or used and new from £3.29 Amazon.co.uk - ...

Review of Remember Me - Sophie Kinsella

Sophie Kinsella. That name, like Marian Keyes and Jill Mansell, instantly screams "funny brilliant chick-lit" to me. It's one of the names I always keep an eye out with regard to new books because I know I'm guaranteed a good read. Not only has the Shopaholic series been consistently excellent as well as providing us with one of the best fictional heroines of all time in my opinion, but her standalone books "Can You Keep a Secret?" and "The Undomestic ...
...hilarity and addictiveness. So when I heard that she had a new book coming out, I was instantly eager to read it. I tend to try and wait until books come out in paperback generally as I can't afford to always buy hardback versions of books - but I just couldn't wait for this one. For one thing, it just sounded like such an interesting idea for a novel. For another . . . it was Sophie Kinsella! Isn't that argument enough for a chick-lit fan like myself? ...

Review of Remember Me - Sophie Kinsella

...Eric – who she doesn’t remember AT ALL. Not only that, but her hair is glossy, her teeth are straight and she’s in the best shape of here life! What on earth is going on? Before too long Lexi realises that there are MANY, MANY other questions waiting to be answered, such as: Why do my old friends hate me now? How did I turn into this ambitious, driven woman? When did I stop stuffing myself with carbs at every opportunity? What has happened to my ...
...very upset that I don’t remember him? ===Who will it appeal to?=== This book will be enjoyed by just about any fan of the chick-lit genre, and you should definitely read it if you liked Kinsella’s previous novels. I actually preferred this book to any of the others she’s written so far, which is praise indeed as I found them all extremely readable! ===What did I like about it?=== I love the fact that _Remember Me?_ is so easy to get into. I warmed ...

Review of Remember Me - Sophie Kinsella

...the three years she can't remember as some people would obviously prefer it if they can re-write what has happened. I really recommend this book as a must read for chick lit fans. It was easy to read and get into, and at times was so funny I laughed out loud, which doesn't happen often with books for me. It is a light-hearted story which is perfect for reading anytime and I didn't want to put it down. Published by Black Swan. Paperback 444 pages. ...

Review of Remember Me - Sophie Kinsella

This book is such light reading you wont want to put it down. Sophie Kinsella uses characters in her books that everyone can relate to and this book is no different. Can you imagine waking up in hospital having just lost 3 yrs of your life? Finding out that you are married to a millionaire, who is really caring and also absolutely gorgeous. Lexi thought all her Christmases had come at once. Only after living with her husband and meeting up with everyone ...

...you are willing her to remember everything. It holds your attention throughout and has wonerful twists and turns. Sophie Kinsella is a brilliant writer.. Before I read this I thought that can you keep a secret was her best but this is equal to it. I love all her Shopaholic books but this is a different genre and she shows that she can hold her own with some of the best fiction writers This must not be missed ...

Review of Remember Me - Sophie Kinsella

After reading all of Sophie Kinsella's books, and being entertained by all of them, I had seriously thought that this book would be another one that would keep me on my feet. I thought that it would be such a good book that I even purchased it in my haste to read it and see what an amazing book it'd be. I'm sorry to say that it was definitely not as good as the hype. I felt that she left such a cliff-hanger ending, with a lot of loose strings that ...
