Description de l’éditeur
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An irresistible novel from the beloved author of The Burnout, What Does It Feel Like?, and the Shopaholic series, about a young woman who finds herself in a life-changing and utterly hilarious predicament. . . .
“Nobody does a romantic comedy like the great Sophie Kinsella, and this particular one made me both laugh and cry.”—Freida McFadden, author of The Housemaid
When twenty-eight-year-old Lexi Smart wakes up in a London hospital, she’s in for a big surprise. Her teeth are perfect. Her body is toned. Her handbag is Vuitton. Having survived a car accident—in a Mercedes no less—Lexi has lost a big chunk of her memory, three years to be exact, and she’s about to find out just how much things have changed.
Somehow Lexi went from a twenty-five-year-old working girl to a corporate big shot with a sleek new loft, a personal assistant, a carb-free diet, and a set of glamorous new friends. And who is this gorgeous husband—who also happens to be a multimillionaire? With her mind still stuck three years in reverse, Lexi greets this brave new world determined to be the person she . . . well, seems to be. That is, until an adorably disheveled architect drops the biggest bombshell of all.
Suddenly Lexi is scrambling to catch her balance. Her new life, it turns out, comes complete with secrets, schemes, and intrigue. How on earth did all this happen? Will she ever remember? And what will happen when she does?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Shopaholic, powerhouse Kinsella delights again with her latest, a winning if unoriginal tale of amnesia striking an ambitious shrew and changing her life for the better. After taking a nasty bump on the head, Lexi Smart awakens in a hospital convinced that it's 2004 and that she's just missed her father's funeral. It's actually three years later, and she no longer has crooked teeth, frizzy hair and a loser boyfriend. Initially wowed by what she's become a gorgeous, cut-throat businesswoman Lexi soon finds herself attempting to figure out how it happened. As her personality change and lost memory threaten her job, Lexi tries to dredge up some chemistry with her handsome albeit priggish husband, Eric, though the effort is unnecessary with Eric's colleague Jon, who tells Lexi that she was about to leave Eric for him. Amnesia tales may be old hat, but Kinsella keeps things fresh and frothy with workplace politicking, romantic intrigue and a vibrant (though sometimes caricatured) cast. Though the happy ending won't come as a surprise, readers will be rooting for Lexi all along.
Avis d’utilisateurs
Remember Me?
Finished this in 2 days - so entertaining! The main character, Lexi, is particularly very well written.
Thumbs down
It seems like the book just stopped… no actual ending. Like a boring story building up to nothing.
So fun!
This was one of my first Sophie Kinsella reads and it got me hooked to her writing. Cute characters, easy read, and enjoyable story.
