Remember Me? is chick lit at its best.
Lexi Smart is suffering from a disastrous night. Why? (1) Her father just died. (2) She has no Christmas bonus (lacking just a few days of employment). (3) Loser Dave stood her up.
Could the night get any more worse?
Well apparently, it could.
Lexi couldn’t get a blood taxi. So she runs to the middle of the street just to catch one, but Lexi bloody slips.
And voila!
Lexi wakes up at the hospital, and it looks like Lexi just didn’t slip but got involved in a car accident. Which she precisely did. But somehow, she can’t remember. F*ck! She can’t remember a huge chunk of her life. Three years to be exact.
Well, by the looks of her, despite the bruises and cuts, Lexi looks way better than ever. Lexi has fuller lips and look at her teeth! She’s not snaggletooth anymore. She’s also two sizes smaller. And was the doctor implying that she was driving a Mercedes convertible in the accident?
But OMG. The good news doesn’t end there. Lexi’s now boss at Delham carpets. Earns three times more than what she used to. And she’s married. Married to one gorgeous hunk of a man, who’s also sweet and thoughtful. Eric Gardiner is one hot male specimen. And he’s made Lexi a marriage manual which has everything Lexi has to know about married life, except Monte Blanc, but I’ll tell more of Monte Blanc later. It has everything in it, to Lexi’s diet, schedules and foreplay?
Everything seems perfect. But everything isn’t as it seems. Lexi has none of her old friends. From being a carefree spirit, the missing three years suggest that she’s been a boss from hell, a cobra and a major b-i-t-c-h. But it’s never too late to mend your ways right?
And is her married life is as perfect as she thought it was? A gorgeous architect comes and drops the bomb that Lexi was supposed to leave Eric for him? Could things get any more confusing and complicated?
Major spoiler ahead. Could Eric become even more thoughtful? After one round of attempting to have sex with him, Lexi proves Eric is overly thoughtful, by asking if his every move is alright. I should also mention that he asks if it’s alright to put his penis inside – okay, I think I shouldn’t mention the details. But Eric thinks penis is hot. To the male readers of this review, that was totally un-hot, especially mentioning it in the middle of supposed to be sex.
Sophie Kinsella never fails to delight me. This novel wanted me to roll on the floor and laugh, but at the same time, I cared for Lexi. This is a nice, cozy and light read which was perfect for my de-stressing.
BTW, what is Monte Blanc? You just have to read this to find out. Clues? Well, it involves a man as naked as the day he was born plus whipped cream! LOL
