Pure Escapism

Looking for something frothy and fun, with amnesia, romance and office politics thrown in for good measure? I’ve just finished reading Sophie Kinsella’s Remember Me, and it’s all of these and more.

After getting in a car accident and receiving a nasty bump on the head, Lexi Smart wakes up in the hospital convinced it’s 2004 and that she’s just missed her father’s funeral. But it’s actually 3 years later, and she no longer has crooked teeth, frizzy hair and a no-good boyfriend. She’s become a ruthless businesswoman married to a drop-dead gorgeous millionaire. At first, Lexi thinks her new life is perfect – she has money, power and a stunning loft furnished with expensive designer furniture and priceless works of art. But then reality sets in – her husband is an uptight control freak and all her friends hate her and Lexi doesn’t like who she’s become.

There are lots of laughs and you’ll cringe at the embarrassing situations Lexi lands in, but you’ll be rooting for her all the way.
