Remember Me?

Remember Me?, by Sophie Kinsella; Dell Publishing, 2009

Sophie Kinsella's heroine Lexie wakes up in a hospital bed and soon realizes that she has lost the past three years of her life in Remember Me?. Amnesia has robbed her of recent memories, but the 'new' things she discovers about herself--shiny new hair, pearly white teeth, ultra-toned body and fine manicure helps to soften the blow. She doesn't recognize herself, and her new life...including her handsome husband, or her posh loft apartment. Will she find her 'way back'? I stayed in the Kinsella mode with The Undomestic Goddess, the story of an overworked lawyer who makes an expensive error and loses her job. This former lawyer becomes a maid for a family, and decides she is happier not being overworked (in the legal profession) after all. I was intrigued by Kevin O'Brien's novel Last Victim. Twenty years after a group of teenagers caused the disappearance of a classmate, the ill-fated group is killed by hit men who make the murders look like suicide.
