Remember Me?

  Remember Me?  by Sophie Kinsella was great.  It's been a while since there was a book I was willing to read through House (though it's been really bad this season, I should stop watching it all together) for, but yesterday, I was so enamored with this book, I went home and read for three straight hours.  Not that I had time for that, of course.  But I had to find out what happened!  Remember starts with a normal twenty something, Lexi, and her slightly sad life.  She just started working at a carpet company with her best friend, she's dating a guy named Loser Dave, and her teeth and hair are bad (it's England of course).  She wakes up one day in a hospital to find that the last three years have been erased from her memory.  But suddenly she's married to the perfect guy, rich, with a great new job, it seems perfect.  But of course it isn't.  She's lost all of her friends, her husband is too perfect, her house is too nice.  As she tries to remember the last three years, of course she runs into Jon who works with her perfect husband, and she seems to remember only him.  It's so sappy and dorky, and I loved every second of it.  Kinsella is one of my favorites, and her sense of humor is fabulous.  It's funny, it's sweet, and I loved Lexi (Kinsella's main characters are part of her charm, they are funny, sweet and always a little weird).  It's great for beach reading, and I should have known better than to start it right before a full day at B&N followed immediately by a full day at school.  I wanted to read it all at once!
