Lexi Smart takes a tumble on a rainy night in 2004 while trying to hail a cab after clubbing with her best friends. She blacks out and wakes up in the hospital. Only now her hair isn’t frizzy, her teeth are straight, and she doesn’t recognize her own legs, which are somehow completely toned. Her mother informs her that it is no longer 2004, but 2007--she’s crashed her car, gained a head wound, and her life is in a very different place than she remembers.

No longer a corporate underling of twenty-five, she is now a twenty-eight year old high powered business woman with a new set of expensive friends, a gorgeous manicure and….oh, yes, a multi-millionaire husband. Flabbergasted by all of this, Lexi tries desperately to call Fi, her best friend since elementary school. Only Fi and the gang are no longer her friends, her cuddly twelve year old baby sister is a rebellious teenager with a talent for extortion and, worst of all, she’s apparently following a no-carb lifestyle—which would explain the fit body and her supposed bitch-boss-from-hell personality transplant.

As Lexi sets about trying to find her way around her new, grown-up, fashionable life, she is baffled and shaken to discover just how much she has changed in three years. Her relationship with model-hot husband, Eric, is too strangely perfect to feel comfortable for her now, she’s distressed when her attempts to be nice to people at work are met with hostility…..and sent reeling like a top when the sexy lead architect for her husband's company confides a secret to her that could blow her entire shiny new life to bits.

Sophie Kinsella had me completely taken in with Lexi and her journey to self re-discovery in Remember Me? Lexi is such a relatable girl and her confusion is, at turns, hilarious and heart-wrenching. The characters that float around her are all varied and vital; the scenes so well written it seemed at times I was watching a movie in my head. I had a wonderful time following Lexi as she discovered who she was and who she wanted to be again. This book is a keeper.
