The hilarious romantic comedy from NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR Sophie Kinsella
Lexi wakes up in a hospital bed after a car accident, thinking she's twenty-five with crooked teeth and a disastrous love life. But, to her disbelief, she learns it's actually three years later - she's a super-toned twenty-eight-year-old, her teeth are straight, she's the boss of her department - and she's married to a good-looking millionaire!
She can't believe her luck - especially when she sees her stunning new loft apartment. And she'll definitely have a fantastic marriage once she gets to know her husband again. He's drawn up a 'marriage manual', which should help.
But soon she realises her perfect life isn't all it seems. All her old friends hate her. A rival is after her job. Then a dishevelled, sexy guy turns up... and lands a new bombshell.
What the **** happened to her? Will she ever remember? And what will happen if she does?

I liked it. In fact, I was trying to imagine watching this on TV. To watch how Lexi, the protagonist, woke up from her accident and her memory of the last three years all wiped clean. She couldn’t even remember the person she married. Three years, many changes, climbed up the corporate ladder, got married and lost all her good friends.
This could be my third Kinsella and now I must admit: I’m a fan!
A wonderful story and a perfect holiday read. I love most of Sophie Kinsella books and is is one of the ones I frequently read again when I want something easy and light hearted to read.
I first read it about 8/9 years ago and the storyline stuck with me; twenty-something woman, in an awful accident, loses three years of memory and has to fit into a new ‘perfect’ life of luxury ‘loft style living’, marriage and leadership when really she is more used to comfort, unreliable boyfriends and taking a backseat. As her life continues in this new world, things start to unravel and she begins to notice that things aren’t as perfect as she first thought. I loved the whole concept of the story.
Fast-forward to present day, I keep seeing Sophie Kinsella’s name floating about being recommended online. I see her books in shops. Some of my own books were being compared to hers. She was everywhere and I planned on researching and reading some of her books to see what the big deal was. Then, I had an urge to re-read ‘Remember Me’ and what do I find? Sophie bloomin’ Kinsella! She was already an author that I loved!
So, I did an Amazon order for 3 of her books. This one, and two I’d never read before. I had to read this one first and I whizzed through it. Even though I knew what was going to happen, the last section had me hooked as though I’d never read it before and my heart was racing as the end neared.
Filled with marriage manuals, uncontrollable whippets and a ‘Mont Blanc’, this is an absolute perfect read filled with humour, desire and the right about of chick-lit cringe.
SPOILER....
The author has obviously never worked in an office or a role with a management structure as she tries to describe the character as being the bitch boss from hell (her words) whilst also describing how her staff openly take the piss out of her and throw rubbers at her - does she work in a primary school?!?!
I loved the storyline- frumpy girl wakes up from a night out to find she is living the seemingly perfect life. However, all too soon she realises its not as great as it all seems. The marriage manual in particualr was very funny and had me laughing out loud!
Other reviewers have criticised the book for not being realistic. That doesn't bother me. I love Kinsella's books probably because they aren't realistic and offer total escapism. however, the end came rather abruptly and left me wanting more.
Nonetheless, it's a lovely book, which is thorougly enjoyable. Just not five stars this time
Top reviews from other countries
(These books are often relegated to the "chick lit" section, which is so wrong, because there are true gems in that section and women's fiction deserves far more credit. This book is one of those gems, by the way.)
Our protagonist Lexi wakes up in the hospital, having forgotten three years of her life, with a stranger-husband, high power job, a whole new appearance, and fewer friends. She has no idea how she got to this place and the reader travels with Lexi as she tries to put together what happened to her in that time to get her where she is and why she made certain decisions. She finds out that what seems perfect isn't always and that she had made some decisions against her personality because of events she no longer remembers.
I found Lexi to be not only likeable, but relatable in her mission to put together the puzzle of her life. Especially when there are moments when a person might question if they want to know all of the answers, after missing such a gap. The story wasn't predictable at all and there are truly funny moments, including her husband putting together a manual about their marriage, with a mission statement and and index for EVERYTHING.
And like Lexi, if I hear the words "loft-style living" one more time, I may shoot myself.
