Having read all of Sophie Kinsella books thus far, I knew that I could expect a story that would make me laugh, make me frustrated, and make me care about the characters. But, I didn't realize that while all of these expectations were met, I would find more. The characters are more complex than I've seen in her books before, while keeping the hilarity and the emotion. There is a lovely romance going on here, but it is not the point of the book really, it's more about Lexi finding herself. Not really who she was or who she has become in those 3 years, but who she is (and wants to be) deep down. I really identified with that idea, and was so engrossed that I stayed up all night to read the book in one sitting. I was exhausted the next day at work after staying up until 3am to read, but it was well worth it!

I loved this book. :) A fun, easy read that will keep you turning the pages.
Lexi is a warm, likeable character, much like Becky Bloomwood from the Shopaholic series. Funny story, with lots of laugh-out-loud moments. I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next. Highly recommended!

Another great book from the writings of Sophie Kinsella. I finished this book in less than 48 hours and couldn't get enough.
A story about Lexi, a girl who wakes up with amnesia and has to learn her life all over again. Well, at least the past three years anyway. She realizes that she has secrets, and has made enemies. She also has a new physcial appearance.
This book will make you laugh and will make you addicted. A must read. Everyone should pick this book up and read it from start to finish.

This is another great book by Sophie Kinsella! In this book, you will meet a likeable character named Lexi who wakes up with retrograde amnesia. It is very interesting as she tries to piece together her life. She wakes up to find she is married, she looks totally different and all her friends have deserted her. She has to learn who and what to believe about her life.
I absolutely loved this book. I could not put it down. It is very interesting to see how she slowly puts her life back together.
Definitely Recommended!!

The reviewers before me honestly said it all. This is another great book by Sophie Kinsella written in the same quick read manner as her Shopaholic series. The plot is very similar to the amnesia, Ryan Lavery, "All My Children" character, is suffering from. Only the last few years are omitted from the memory.
Is this possibly another series in the making? I think it may be. There is more to find out about Lexi Smart, the main character in the novel.

This is my first book by Sophie Kinsella. It is about a woman who gets amnesia and can't remember the previous 3 years of her life. She realizes that she is a completely different person - she has a great career, a husband and a wonderful life. She tries to figure it out who she is now, and if what she thought she wanted is really what she wants now. A great book - sometimes makes you laugh out loud and other times, frustrates you. I look forward to grabbing another Sophie Kinsella's books to try out.

As always, Sophie Kinsella's books are great. This book had an interesting plot line and many funny moments. I loved the main character and look forward to the next book by this author! (I've read them all!)

I enjoyed this more than the later Shopaholic books....I can really imagine the attraction of waking up with a whole different life! And of course, the whole idea of "be careful what you wish for". Great read.

This book was very cute. The first 2 chapters were worrisome but chapter 3 hooked me. I couldn't put it down after that. Lots of LOL moments! The ending could have been better but that wasn't enough to change my opinion.

By far the best Sophie Kinsella book to date. I couldn't put it down. I was captivated from the very first page. Lexi is such an interesting character and you really feel for her struggles throughout the book.
