Book Reviews of Remember Me?
Book Review: Loved it!
Summary: 4 Stars
Couldn't put it down, Great fun, quick beach read. I actually liked this much better than the Shopoholic series!Book Review: Loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was so entertaining! I love Sophie Kinsella's books. I don't have to think while I'm reading them. They're a nice reprieve from the real world. Like a few other reviewers, I was sad to see this one end. I wanted to keep following after Lexi to see what happened next!Book Review: Lukewarm Soup On A Blustery Day!
Summary: 1 Stars
First off, I simply adore the charming Becky Bloomwood & the Shopaholic series. Remember Me just didn't do it for me.
I found myself distracted & bored. I struggled to finish it. I must admit, I wanted to return it to Barnes & Noble after reading the first few pages.
I really wanted to love it... I didn't. I wanted to like it... not so much.
I found it to be like lukewarm soup on a blustery day.
Lexi Smart annoyed me. I wondered where the fun, lovable, naturally charming characters Sophie Kinsella brings to her zany novels were hiding.
I wasn't looking for a thinly veiled Becky, but give me something.
I questioned Lexi quite a bit. Lexi's big change didn't seem believable. It just seemed forced.
Sophie definitely did her research on amnesia, but she should of developed Lexi a bit more.
Remember Me is not one of Sophie Kinsella's best novels & Lexi is not one of her best characters.
Definitely not worth the $$$ I spent for the hardcover.
Fans of Kinsella's will no doubt add this to their shelves.
Book Review: Made me fall back in love with Sophie Kinsella's writing
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite reading the rave reviews of this book I was skeptical of whether it would be worth reading. All though I am a huge fan of Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic series I was less captivated by her later books, Undomestic Goddess and Can You Keep a Secret? as well as those written by her as Madeleine Wickham. After finishing this book, however, I was not only pleasantly surprised, but found I enjoyed it equally as much as the Shopaholic series.
This book follows the story of 28-year-old Lexi Smart as she awakes with amnesia after an accident and cannot remember the last three years of her life. Navigating her new life she initially feels like she has stepped into a fairy tale until she slowly comes to find that not everything is as it appears.
Although this premise, as others have alluded to, has been done before Kinsella covers it skillfully in a way that is engaging from start to finish. She throws in enough twists and turns along the way that while the book is somewhat predictable, the reader is still surprised and entertained by how things unfold. She especially succeeds bringing her main character to life. Lexi is likeable, multidimensional and easy to relate to. Even if you have never experienced amnesia (which I am sure many readers will have not) the character deals with plenty of things that are relatable like family drama, romantic relationship challenges, and the loss of a friendship. She also infuses a lot of humor into the book, as she did with the Shopaholic series, which makes for a fun, breezy read. I, like many other readers, also appreciated that she did not tie all of the loose ends up at the end of the book, which would have made it seem too contrived. Like many of her Shopaholic books I found myself always eager to read the next chapter and happily devoured it in three days.
Overall this is a great book that is a perfect read while on vacation or curling up at home. Like most Chick Lit it's no literary wonder, but it is funny, relatable, and great fun.
Book Review: Makes you want to keep turning the pages
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is really interesting, because it has a bit of a twist to it. When I read it, I didn't want to stop reading. I always thought, "What's going to happen next??" If her situation happened to me in real life, it would be a crazy journey.. people taking advantage of me.. telling false information, because of amnesia. I would recommend this book to those who follow Sophie's books.
